Newbies

I got a message from a newbie in Indiana. She wants to go to Evergreen, but is terrified of the weather and also of it not living up to her expectations. Despite my usual attitude towards newbs, I told her the full honest truth. I told her that I like it here and that the weather sucks but not so bad. I told her that the school is good if you are motivated. I portrayed the school with cautious optimism. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME! As an upper-classmen I am supposed to HATE FRESHMEN! They just want us to buy them booze, they are soul-suckers. They are so OPTIMISTIC. RAWR

Also, this is very close to home.

Note to Self

Don't throw parties at the last minute, nobody will be available or want to go. Such is the doom of the 'last minute party.'
This is not to be confused with the 'spontaneous party,' a rare occassion where people randomly appear around each other and begin drinking. 'Spontaneous parties' are one of the most enjoyable types of parties. They are huge piles of awesome with covered in awesome sauce and topped with an awesome cherry.
Generally planning is an integral part of throwing a party. Remember this and heed the words of the Fonz, "'EH-YEEE!!!"
