<p>No, I am not mocking. I always tell my daughter not to just study all the time. No one is going to care you have a 4.0 10 years from now, but friends you make now will last forever. (how is that for mushy?) That is one piece of advice my brother (alum of Cornell) gave to my daugher. He graduated with a very high GPA, and he wished he spent more time to get to know more people at Cornell.</p>
<p>I don’t think oldfort is mocking you…</p>
<p>I didn’t think so either (that he was mocking me), I just wasn’t sure, as per his last comment. I can see being worried about partying too much, but I can assure you my work to party ratio is probably about where it should be. Haha.</p>
<p>I have not been to the rock wall yet, but I do plan to, just don’t know when.</p>
<p>How much work you have varies heavily depending on your classes and who teaches your classes.</p>
<p>Some professors give out impossibly hard problem sets while some are jokes.</p>
<p>Some classes (especially project courses) are black holes for your time while others barely require any.</p>
<p>Personally, and this is just me, I believe there’s more to the concept of fun than getting drunk in a highly uncomfortable environment (mmm, nothing like getting steamed by the collective body heat of a few dozen other fellow drunkards stuffed in a tiny basement).</p>
<p>Then again, I suppose there’s a reason why my friends always ridicule me for suggesting a frat party as a weekend excursion nowadays. </p>
<p>Oh, freshmen.</p>
<p>word, Kyt.</p>
<p>I feel like there is always more work to be done. Not that I let it consume me and spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week studying and worrying, but I know for a fact that there are many students with schedules that simply don’t provide as much work as others.</p>
<p>So I’m guessing either the IFC didn’t vote to ban parties this weekend, or there was just simply a lot of blatant disregard for that vote…</p>
<p>Haha.</p>
<p>There is a moratorium on registered open parties indefinitely afaik. That means the ones that have hired security out front and lots of people, such as the sae white party or something like that. </p>
<p>That doesn’t however preclude frats from having smaller events though, like a barbecue, a thirsty thursday, a rooms party, or just a bunch of people playing beer pong, or something like that which you might still consider a party but isn’t a huge registered open party. Also I would guess some frats probably ignored the moratorium if they had larger events already planned.</p>
<p>Oh gotcha. I was thinkin it was
like everything was banned.</p>
<p>Ya we just aren’t allowed to have huge parties. It def sucks, but I also think it’s a good idea b/c of swine flu. Oh life and it’s lack of alcohol past 1am and especially 2am…</p>
<p>Yeah. That rule is bum… 1am? Everywhere else that’s like the best time.</p>
<p>But here things start to slow down. lol</p>
<p>i still managed to find parties despite the moratorium</p>
<p>the moratorium means they’re not discussing it, not that there are no parties. so it follows that it wouldn’t be too difficult to find parties…</p>
