Who's House?!

August 2009

My first weekend after school began I went to a Pi Kappa Alpha (PIKE) fundraiser with Jaime, LindsEy, and LindsAy (two girls on our hall). Pike has a bad rep at CSU because they are unaffiliated with the university, however they are still nationally affiliated. You are literally warned about the Pike's by your orientation leader. However, we decided to find out for ourselves. The fundraiser was straight, it was for project smile or something and sponsored by Monster. The rap artists and dj were amazing. We met the Pikes and more specifically, I met Griffin. Post-fundraiser, we were invited to party with them. It was a great night. I remember waking up the next morning with the sun pouring in our room, and having that "I partied too hard to move today" feeling. Everyday should be that way, and after that, it pretty much was.  I didn't know it then but, going to that fundraiser defined the next two years of my life.

The next night we went with Jaime to get a tatt, it was a dinky dove with no shading. Afterwards, Pike hit us up to party. We went to “Booby”’s house, for a little power hour. And by little.. I mean a house packed with people, an industrious pile of beer, and only enough room to stand. It was unforgettable, not because of the party, but because it was the very beginning. 

The Rec Room

Last night was amazing.
I work at a college bar and last night was St. Patty's Day. 1. A gorgeous guy from my calc class introduced himself finally (can't wait for monday!). 2. My dad stopped by. This was amazing because he gives me so much shit for working where i do, when in fact it is my favorite place to be. My manager told me the highlight of her night was meeting my dad (he's a local chef). 3. Two brothers, my neighbors from elementary school, were there and I got to catch up with them :) 4. For the second time that week I met a guy who goes to csu. 5. My night ended with me teaching the cute bass player from All Time Low how to roll silverware!


It's been a few weeks since this happened and I just realized that I (having met 3 or the band members) also met Holly Madison's boyfriend (now ex-boyfriend) oh my god! For those of you who who don't know, Holly Madison was a playmate, hef's number one girl for a while. She's also from the show Girls Next Door and Holly's World. She's so cute, I love her!

College: The Beginning

I began as a freshman in fall 2009 at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.

My roommate’s name was Jaime. She was from Colorado, we had never met until move-in day. As soon as our parents left the room we closed the door and broke the ice. LESBIAN SEX! Kidding. Our first questions to each other were whether the other partied or not, it turned out we both smoked weed and loved to party and drink. It was a perfect match. She had brought her glow posters, and I brought my black lights. Her older brother dealt medical. On the first day, I already had a friend and a dealer, perfect. 

First night at college. Jaime went with her brother to Target, they were gone for a long time and there was a welcome carnival that I wasn’t going to miss. I called my best friend Jordan for support. He told me to go and just walk up and meet people. Easier said then done, but I went. While weaving in and out of the crowds I ran into people I met at orientation. Jaime met up with our group as we were heading to a dorm to sit and chill. On our way we ran into upper classmen shouting “All freshmen follow us to a party!” Our response? Ah hell yeah. We walked for many blocks, picking up people as we went, and were soon wondering where the fuck is this guy taking us? We ended up at the upperclassman’s house party. Problem: byob and no keg. We were not impressed. Jaime called her bro to pick us up and take us to a real party. We rolled up to a big house, the party was your standard low key house party, smoking, drinking, dj. The dj was sick his name was Jimmy and he spun old school turntables and at the end of the night he asked for my number. We left around 3. An impressive first night to start off what was going to be a completely insane year. 

The next day my mom and I were driving on campus when the car infront of us stopped. Out jumped the upperclassman that had herded us to his party. He ran over to a pine tree in front of the health suite, pulled a bike out from under its branches, did a celebratory fist pump , and then loaded the bike into the car. Funniest part was that he had a bright blue cast on his arm, which he definitely didn’t have the night before. I guess we both had a pretty great first night.
