College Drinking

My parents were the same way. To this day they think I didn’t have enough fun in college. They were kinda party animals without ever being alcoholics, and this was true thru their entire lives (dad is 90, just went to his birthday bash with an open bar and 50 other 90-ish year olds!). I drank some in HS, but gave it up before I went to college. I can count the number of drinks I had while in college on one hand. As an adult, I’d say I average a couple glasses of wine a month (with meals). But I had a lot of fun in college. We played cards, went sliding on trays in the Arb, had epic ping pong tournaments, went to movies and free campus events, cooked, went on road trips to concerts/sites in nearby cities once someone finally got a car, played tennis & racquetball, dressed up for Halloween, and generally hung out in each other’s rooms. There weren’t as many clubs on campus as there are today, I think, so you can get involved with those as well.
