College Boredom??
 

Thanks Sands (MaMaBuddha) for planting the seed for this thread.

Alright y'all, it's confession time. Here's the situation: you and your friends are in the dorm. It's 1am, no one is sleepy and everyone is bored. What did you do?

**digging into the SSU memory bin**

my freshman year, the big thing to do was walk to the Kroger across from the main gate, which was a good 25 minute walk at an "i'm late for class" pace. there'd be at least 10 of us, guys & girls, but here's the thing: there was only ONE person who actually needed something from the store (usually kool-aid or ramen noodles).

OH! i remember we had a water fight in the dorm. yes, that's right INSIDE the building. it was HILARIOUS!! folks were using cups, mugs, garbage cans, the sprayer on the shampoo bowl...it was wild. the cool thing was, security LET us do it. they didn't try to get us to go back to bed nor did we get in trouble. MAN, those were the days.

NEXT!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

ROFLMAO, you all had a shampoo bowl in the dorm, **thinking** . . . . You KNOW you went to a BLACK COLLEGE, if you have a shampoo bowl in the dorm bathroom.

hmmmmm, my freshman year the lights went out, remember that Ideal08? THey were out for like 16 hours. Anywho we hung out.

I remember we used to walk to Burger King and would WALK thru the DRIVE THRU and place pur orders. ROFLMAO

We had water gun drive bys, we would carry super soakers in our backpacks and books in our hands http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Man for me when I was bored I would go to the library with books only to talk(READ: PROCASTINATE) and cuss people out ( http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif @ IDEAL08).

We would go to the Black Culture House too.

a la Lil Darryl: LEAVE MY HBCU ALONE!! LOL

you darn right we had shampoo bowls in the bathrooms..the bootleg (and DANG GOOD) hairstylists had to have somewhere to wash their clients http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

THANK YOU for mentioning walking through the burger king drive through....we'd stop by there on our way back from Kroger http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif LOL

When I was a freshman at my HBCU we just used to hang out, outside in front of the "freshman complex". At all times of the night and for NO GOOD reason except because we were finally grown and we could, but boy was it fun!!!! I did use to wonder though, who those silly girls were that just had to pull the fire alarm at 2 a.m., come on I had to hide in the closet so I wouldn't have to go stand outside in the cold for 20 minutes. Then we had to walk back up the steps because we couldn't ride the elevator..uggghh and I lived on the sixth floor, good thing the dorm was never really on fire!!!

When we get bored in my dorm, we dim the lights in the hall, turn somebody's radio up loud, and have a floor party. And everybody on the floor was cool with it. Some of the best parties I've ever been to in my life.

During finals week one semester no one wanted to go to sleep. So one of my floormates took his stereo speakers and faced it out the window, hooked it up to his TV...put some porn in..and, well, I guess you can imagine where it went from there.

The moans and groans woke up the entire complex.

[b] did you got to BCC?????? the Burger King was right up the hill from the school from the school.

my most memorable times at school in the dorm life was watching the greeks from the windows and imitating their calls from the dorm and running to go hide in the closets just in case they came up to the room. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif what can i say we were freshman and we had curfews!!!

then...we use to stand out on the AVE (i think everyone had an ave) and watch all the guys with the low riders and hydaulics bounce by.

i have so many other funny stories...but i must keep it pg 13 for greekchat.

it involves some thunderbird, maddog 20/20 and sisco and a pajama jam and a bunch of silly freshman girls from different parts of the country!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

LMAO @ hide in the closets

so THAT"S how you got your practice in!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif LOL

This is a good topic!


Well let's just say that my hall voted me the Queen of Procrastination! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif When we were bored, my friends and I would usually go to Meijers around 1 or 2am and look at EVERYTHING! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif Or we'd just go chill in someone's room and talk real late about how much we missed high school and how we did or didn't want to grow up and go off into the "real" world. But that's about it. Everything in my college town unfortunately closes at 10, except Meijers. So, we didn't have many options to choose from when we got bored except to chill and talk. It was still fun though. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Wonderful, you just described my entire freshman year. Did you go to school in TX?
I'm still catching up on my sleep from those middle-of-the-night prank fire alarms.

Oh, the hilarity!!!! Ok, we would to go Meijer when we were bored. I had never seen a store like this in Cleveland, so anytime we would go, it was like a field trip! A million reasons, a single store! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif LMAO!

Yeah, hanging at the Black House was definitely it!! Oh, and you can't forget the Crenshaw Wall, CrimsonTide!! LOL! Wally Witt....

ROTFLMAO @ CrimsonTide4 cussin' people out in the library!!!! LMAO!!! "You are like a wart . . ." LMAO!!!

And I'll say it again, Ah, sweet nostalgia...

Usually, have a talk-marathon till 3 or 4am with a couple of my closest friends...it still happens to this day - we can ill afford the time, considering that we're working on capstone projects and counting the days till graduation!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif
