Stupid college stories...
share yours here
(I am suuuuper tired and need this day to go quickly, help a girl out before she starts trouble........)
Junior year I was.... under the influence of something.... and decided it would be an excellent idea to make 2 chili dogs and canned corn. I got everything microwaved and my roommate called me (she was driving home, probably drunk shhh) and she was like, keep me awake!!! So I am attempting to talk to her while trying to eat a chili dog.... and I am laughing soooo hard that I can't eat anything. I just keep telling her, I don't know how to swallow!!!!!!!!! Then I dump the entire can of corn down the wrong side of the sink and leave it there
The next morning we wake up and wonder why the sink is super clogged......
HA.
Re: Stupid college stories...
Fine I will tell some more..... my sorority went to NY together for spring break. We thought it would be an excellent idea to drink a ton of tequila and bleach my hair. My hair has a ton of red in it.... so if you know anything about hair color, you know I turned out looking like orange haired Mandy from Temptation Island.
On my 21st birthday I decided to have a 20 minute conversation with a police officer about how to get rid of the hiccups.
I was CONVINCED that he didn't notice I was drunk. My friends said otherwise.
I think the hair pic needs to be posted here now

Senior year a bunch of us were working on our senior project in the Civil Engineering lab (Shelly you should have an idea where this is). We were building a vehicle. Well it was VERY late at night and we were all tired so we were not paying close attention to what was going on. One person was welding something onto the car and then all of a sudden sparks were flying and then there FIRE. Apparently this person was welding right next to the fuel tank that was just filled. Gas can was still sitting there. Super smart...but it gets better.
Said person then picks up the gas can and runs spilling gas everywhere. The fire follows the path. We set the front of the lab on fire and the person welding was also on fire. Luckily we were able to put it out with extinguishers and the person on fire did the "stop, drop, and roll" and came out of it unharmed. However when he did that (outside) he set the bushes and landscape on fire. We assessed the damage and the only things destroyed were the rugs in the entry way, the seat of our car and the bushes outside. The rugs were thrown in the back of the truck and taken to The Castle (Frat house at LTU) and the extinguishers were anonymously turned into security. We all graduated so I assume that no one of any authority knows what really happened.

Haha, I still want to meet Orange Hair Shelly.
I went to a party with two guy friends that went to UofM, I went to EMU. I have to thank my lucky stars that they really are nice guys, because sh!t they could have abandoned me. We went to a party. I may have been drinking. It was SUPER crowded. I think I danced. It was snowy. We went to leave and we couldn't even get down the porch stairs. The house is kind of built up on a hill (if you are familiar with these houses in A2) so there is a wall at the sidewalk, grass up to the porch and then the house. Anyway, the guys decided to just jump over the porch and slide down the snowy grass area to the sidewalk and thought I should do the same. I did. Somehow I did not fall on my a$$ but I think they caught me because I'm not sure how else that would have worked. In the morning, I realized I didn't have my purse. I freaked out. They took me back to the house and some girl answered the door and was like "oh good! I was hoping you'd come back for this!" There was my Coach purse and all it's contents. Only in A2. In Ypsi, that would have been sold for parts before sunrise!
My Happy House
I don't even know where to start...
A bunch of us went on a cruise (32 girls) Junior year for spring break- we were drinking in the sun all day so drinking+sun=hot mess. We walked around the entire night pretending our shoes were phones, an entire night...with lot's of pictures of our shoes as phones. DUMB
Freshman year I lived with a friend and our suitemates were very different from us. one of the girl's dad's was in jail for drugs and the other girl had a crazy life too. They used to do nasty things in the bathroom- we basically stopped using the bathroom after a few months. we have so many stories from that year but a few
1. I was up late writing a paper. I went into the bathroom at like 3 am to brush my teeth and wash my face, and this giant man walked right in TOTALLY NAKED said hello and dropped a used condom into the toilet to flush it...I was like NO NO, b/c I was in there, so i was trying to stop him from walking in, and he was like "it's cool girl I do it all the time" talknig about flushing the condom... ewwwwwww
got another one. My freshman year I lived on the penthouse floor of the dorms & lived on a coed floor of the "party hall". Our floor was pretty wild & filled with lots of partying crazy freshman. the RA for our floor was like 32 years old & had been in college for 10 years and took his RA job very very seriously.
Freshman year... our room was the hang out spot & we got written up 9 times (at least 5 were for drinking). We had to visit student life & the advisor actually told us that our RA just took his job to serioius. Even though we got busted 9 times, only 1 was an "offical" write up with student life because our RA was suck a joke.
Also, because our floor was so crazy we all got bills at the end of the year for damage for like $40/each. Thats not a lot, but multiply that by everyone who lived on the floor & account for the fact that they assume some basic wear/tear damage is just going to happen... we did a lot of damage.

Dancing on a radiator in a frat house could result in melting the bottom of your favorite boots.
I was going to say I know I've seen the pic before! LOL!
2. the said suitemates seriously had like 4 men from Detroit living with them and they kept telling everyone it was their cousins visiting from Detroit. YET it would be like 2 am and we would hear the noises of you know what, it would keep us up. So this is the day of phones in the dorms, and we would call their room, wait for them to answer and then hang up, just to stop the nasty noises. One night my roommate jumped onto my loft from her loft like a flying monkey to watch a snow penis being built outside our dorm, my loft started to break...she jumped down to hold it up from falling on her computer, and we decided to rebuild the loft that night. They came over and told us we were being loud so we stayed up all night banging the loft into the wall and using the hammer...then called them at 5am to let them know we were all done for the night.
3. Police showed up to the suitemates room one night...we woke up to them being questioned and a bag of weed that had been slipped under the bathroom door into our room... before they opened their door for the police, we woke up and shoved that bag right back under their door
4. police came back toward the end of the year, and a few days later our suitemate was kicked out for prostitution,,, the other for theft

yes, i knew that i had seen this before.

Ha ha I seriously laughed loudly at this.
I dated (nothing more) one of the RAs so we could have special moving before leaving the campus for Christmas break.......
I will have to see if i can scan the pictures of me walking around NYC the next day looking like that... then you can really see the color variation of the yellow to orange.............................. yuck
it's beautiful shelly, you should go back to that color!
I was working on a model (architecture student) using very sharp X-acto knives at about 3am in the morning. Clearly under the influence of exhaustion, I sliced my thumb open pretty good. Not wanting to get blood all over my nice model in progress, I went upstairs and was trying to find the band-aids but couldn't find any. I lived at home throughout college, so I walked into my parents room and said "Mom, where are the bandaids, I cut my finger" but she was completely out and clearly didn't care about my finger. So I went back in the bathroom to search and ended up sitting down on the bathroom floor while I looked through a drawer. My finger started dripping blood on the bathroom floor and I was like "hmmm, this is actually pretty bad" and then continued to pass out apparently. I blame it on the exhaustion because blood usually does not make me squeemish.
My Mom woke up around 5am and found me laying on the bathroom floor. She was like "what are you doing?" and I woke up and ran downstairs to finish my model before class that day. I still joke around with her about how she didn't even care that I was passed out and potentially bleeding out on the bathroom floor.
----------------------
That same year, I had a final project due and ended up pulling an all-nighter. My friend had done the same, and we kept talking throughout the night and discussing our progress. The project was due at like 8am, so I pull into the parking lot around 7:55 next to my friend's car. I look over and see her literally like slumped over the wheel. She had been telling me that week about some new migraine medication she was taking, and how she wasn't sure if she liked it or not. I jumped out of my car and ran over to her window, assuming that she was like in a coma or something from this stupid medication. I start tapping on the glass really loud, and she wasn't waking up. Finally after about a minute her head snapped up and she had the most hilarious/stunned/terrified look on her face. Apparently she had gotten to school about 10 minutes before I did, and ended up falling asleep while she was waiting for 8:00 to roll around. lol
Hee hee
I also went into a bit of a drunken rage asking why they had the heat on in a house full of dancing people(it was hot in there). I went on a mission to find the president. My poor boots.

I could go on for days.
We had a party for my 21st b-day at our apartment. I got so wasted that I puked in one of my bags of presents. I woke up the next day and had no idea what happened half the night but there was peanut butter smeared all over the walls and the tub was full of mud.
This one doesn't involve drinking but I still laugh at myself. It was winter and I had to drive to class but I was too lazy to clear off my entire windshield so I just scraped off a small spot so I could see. Well, there was construction coming out of the apt. lot and I hit on of those easel looking construction things w/ the yellow lights on it. I just kept driving but as I get on campus I notice everyone staring at my car as I drive by. When I get out I realized there was an orange cone sticky straight out of my wheel well at a 90 degree angle, ha! I yanked it out and threw it on top of a huge snow pile and it stayed there for the rest of the winter.
OMG stop! I am dying. Good thing my office neighbor has his door shut. LOL! Sounds like something I would do!
1st I hope it turned out to not be a very great gift.
2nd I LOL'd at the cone. Too dammn funny
I mud wrestled at a frat party.... I don't recommend this. Then 6 muddy people rode back to campus in some random person's car. My formal was the next day and I couldn't get all the mud out of my ears. The only upside was that the skin that wasn't all tore up was super soft and exfoliated.
(nephie did you ever do this?)
