<p>haha ummmm...I mean, the parts I can remember were quite sweet. I hung out with a suite from Jameson, we pregamed every night at 10 because they had so much alcohol, then we headed down to college town, skipped most of the orientation events, and just walked into random parties. We also funnelled a lot of beer. I woke up at like 12 or 1, went to the gym or the mall, got ready and then got wasted at night. We met lots of other wasted people and it was a quality 9 day drinking binge. </p>
<p>You shouldn't be that concerned about there only being freshman at parties, since plenty of people come up before classes start. Many of the girls in my sorority and I are coming up on the 18th to relive disorientation week. There will also be plenty of older guys seeking freshman girls there, so you shouldn't have a problem meeting people your age. You could also hit up the bars if you're looking for older students.</p>
<p>definately party a lot during orientation week. think of it this way, its your last week of summer. older kids will be at apartment parties (which are open parties for the most part) and bars. if you like partying pregame with kids in your dorm and walk down into college town, you definately dont need a hookup to get into most places. the only thing youll miss out on is pregaming at a frat house, which isnt a big deal beacuse those wont be big. bars are more fun if you know a few kids/ are older. i remember that not that many freshmen were able to go to bars last year (b/c no ids) so a lot of kids didnt go beacuse their friends couldnt.</p>
<p>where are we supposed to get the hard alcohol to pregame with if we can't buy stuff from the liquor store and we don't know any upperclassmen yet ?</p>
<p>lol I remember sum1 mentioned natty ice and how it was Disgusting...ya well at a party like last week the other side of the bp table was using WARM natty LIGHT and one time we lost kinda badly (but we did win a lot...you wouldn't believe how many games my partner and I played lol) but anyways...it tasted BAAAAD.</p>
<p>I'm bringing up alcohol for some freshmen I know, so I'm sure you can find an older friend to get you it. If not, someone must have an older sibling or connection. </p>
<p>Natty is a luxury compared to the beast, figgy. The key to drinking cheap beer is being drunk when you show up to parties so you can't tell that you're drinking absolute crap.</p>
<p>I ask my older friends to get me booze, which is easier/less risky than using a fake ID at a liquor store. Liquor stores, in my experience, don't usually take fake IDs. The only reason I can get liquor at home is that a few stores here don't bother IDing.</p>
<p>Plmok: Don't plan on getting any hard liquor with a fake. Places like Northside are not only carding now, they even make you sign your name/date/age/state in a book.</p>
<p>You can still get beer though, go to Grandma's. It's in collegetown, on Eddy St. Across from Sinbad's Pizzeria. It's run by an old lady, she's blind. And friendly!
For a more complete guide to purchasing alcohol/fakes in Ithaca, search for an old post I put up a year ago. </p>
<p>As a general notice, I'll buy liquor for any freshman girls. No cash surcharge, only agile lips and a jaw with stamina required. Except Spanks, I guess I owe you some past due store credit eh?</p>
