The One Who Pulled the Naked Man

The Naked Man.
 An urban legend to most but for those lucky few, it will soon be their reality.

For those of you who do not watch "How I Met Your Mother", 

the naked man is something that has been long argued on whether or not it would work. 

Here is a short video from "How I Met Your Mother"
 to give you a better idea of what the naked man is...
(You can ignore the woo girl part, but they are such like half the girls at the bars- guilty)

While I have never experienced the naked man personally,
roommate #1 was just faced with this situation...

While she was in the bathroom, her man came into roommate #2's room and said-
"Should I do the naked man?!?"

With an excited look on her face, roommate #2 said
"YEAH!!"

As he ran down our hallway stripping, roommate #1 emerged from the bathroom and headed to her room for a pleasant surprise.

Opening her door, all you hear her say is-
"Oh my God..."

So while you are out this upcoming Thursday night and
you feel like the girl/guy you are with might be up for it, try the naked man/woman.

See if it gets you as lucky as roommate #1's man and if not,
at least it will make for an entertaining story the next day!

The One Who Was My Formal Date

Being in a sorority has its perks, like being able to go to formals again.

While they are the highlight of the year, 

they sometimes come with some stressful situations. 

Like finding a date.

I have learned a lot through this recent formal season, especially when it comes to reserving a date...

Here are some things I have learned through this process that those attending formal next year might want to look out for-

People To Avoid Asking To Formal:

- If they have to ask their mother, chances are they cannot attend...

- If the first thing they ask you is if they will be spending the night, chances are they will be groping you all night...

- If they hesitate when you bring up the idea of formal, chances are it's not their scene...

- If they have the tendency to not follow through on plans, chances are something will come up right before formal...
- If they don't live in the area, chances are they won't drive 6 hours to come to formal...

If any of these scenarios occur during your formal date search, 

your best bet is taking a close friend, and in my case, it was my meatball. 

Who would have thought finding a date would be so hard! 

Well if you're me, it is one hell of a challenge that I was not prepared for. 

Being left dateless with 9 days to spare (yes he had a pretty good excuse)

I figured it was time to bring in the meatball. 

It was my last formal and thankfully I had a great time!

Yes, it was a shit show, but those are the things that make for great stories, right?

Thank you meatball for being such a great date!

 And thank you to all the males that taught me to always have a back up!
Or in my case, five...

The One Who Said He Knew Me

My college is small or at least it seems that way.
Most people know you or at least recognize you from around campus
and can say they know of you. 

Most of the time, if I know someone but they do not seem to know me, 

I don't say anything.

Last Thursday though, I met one brave soul
who let me know that he had seen me before,
thus creating some beautiful memories...

Two guys came up to me and my friend at the local bars-

"Hey, it's my friends birthday!"

Me and my friend: "Awesome, happy birthday. Nice to meet you."

Shaking the birthday boys hand, he looks at me and says, 

"I know you."

With an awkward, 'was I drunk and don't remember you' look on my face, I said-

 "I don't know you...have we met before?"

"Well no, but you work at the advising center."

"Oh, did I advise you?"

"No, I walked by and I saw you there once and
was like daaaaaayyyyyymmmmmmmmnnnnn!"

Once again, with an awkward, 'you are really shit faced right now' look on my face,
I said, "Thanks?"

"Do you want to drink?"

At that point, what more could you do besides just say yes and 

try to get to know this stranger a little better?

Once at the bar, he was informed that the ever so popular $2 Corona was sold out. 

Ordering another beer, he still pulls out $2, only to be informed
by the bartender that the beer he was getting me was actually $3.25.

I could see the pain in his eyes as he reached back into his wallet.

While he is handing me the beer, he says-

"I don't know why I just bought that for you."

What are you suppose to say to that?!

Thank you? WTF? High five?
I chose to say, "Well you're just an awesome guy I guess..."

Obviously we parted ways soon after that as we both had to go find our friends.

In my overall experience, I did find myself one beer richer and
more aware of how small my school is and that everyone probably "knows you."

So be careful out there, especially when you're out at the bars,
you never know who may by watching you...dun dun dunnnnn.

The One In a Suit

Once again, Friars provided top notch guys with great pick up lines...

this time it was at least a man in a suit.

"Hey ladies, I work for the government."

With an awkward look on my face and my friends, we said,

"Oh really, that's cool."

"Yeah, but I am not an assassin or anything so don't worry."

Me: "Oh thank goodness because I was nervous there for a second."

"Yeah, I'm a school teacher. History."

Now, when someone says they work for the government, 

that is not the first thing that pops into my head, but maybe that is just me.

Still standing there in silence after our short conversation had ended, 

he looked around awkwardly and then just stared at us. 

Keep in mind that I am one of the most awkward individuals out there, 

so when I feel awkward in a situation like this, it must be bad. 

Finally saying goodbye and walking away, 

we see him five minutes later being escorted out of the bar for being too drunk. 

It was 10:30PM...too hard core for me.
