Tilt your glass.
Swallow.
Feel the burn.
Scrunch your face.
Shake your head.
Stumble and slur.
Now repeat.

Converse obnoxiously.
Flirt with stranger.
Remove excess clothing.
Dance horizontally.
Forget partner’s name.
Replace clothing.

Take another swig.
Dance until dizzy.
Stumble and slur.
Wake up your roommate.
Laugh hyena-like.
Projectile vomit.

Pass out where you are.
Wake up confused.
Crack an egg in a beer.
Down the beer.
Type a sick letter to your professor.

What did YOU learn in college?

Goodness gracious, this perfect question should hang everywhere to be read in lucid moments by those who behave like this. It's not the way to solve problems! It's - as you say - obnoxious!

It hurts to see how young people sometimes stray so far from dignity... to some degree we can detect where it stems from, but it is so sad to see that there is a total lack of self-respect. Whose fault is it? Society, school, family ... But I trust for most of the bachelors it will be only a temporary "flipping out"!

Dear Amber you really have written an impressive piece here!

Love,
Margherita

You have just discribed all of the players on Jersey Shore,(I see you are from N.J.) I don't think the "Situation" will, but most men grow out of the obnoxious stage, at least I hope they do.

Good write

Hah! Although I admit to doing as you so described, my college was that of hard knocks, and actually I did learn a few things from my three decades of being lost in America. It just took me more time to understand it.

This was very perceptive.
