As I look back upon this year at KU, I’ve realized just how low people can stoop in the effort to have fun. I even surprised myself this year. Here’s a list of some of the more outlandish things that have exasperated, yet entertained me. I’m omitting names to save anyone from any embarrassment that might arise from this post.
- Stealing quartes from a charity change jar meant for a poor unfortunate Guatemalan child, and most likely using them for cigarettes.
- Donating one’s plasma for money.
- Making out with your brother’s girlfriend before he did, and then declaring yourselves lesbian lovers just because you didn’t want to leave the frat, of which your brother is vice-president.
- Collecting all the aluminum cans from the dorms’ recycling bins and exchanging them for cash…once again, for cigarettes.
- Paying for alcohol in loose change and Sacajawea coins, on Valentine’s Day out of desperation.
- Finding sketch friends of friends of friends to buy you alcohol e.g. T, a very large black man, whose car doors were held on with duct tape and practically falling of their hinges.
- Trying to exchange gift cards for cash outside the stores, for which they were originally intended.
- Paying for gas in quarters.
- Not paying a speeding ticket that you received in Oklahoma, and then getting a warrant out for your arrest.
- Trying to steal the allegiance/favor of a friend over another friend, in a coup worthy of a teen-drama—albeit a very dysfunctional one—by smoking them up constantly.
- Pissing off your date repeatedly and having them leave you in sketch parking lots where you get hit on by creepy Mexican men.
- Pretending to pledge a frat, for the free alcohol.
- Breaking a rib from climbing trees while intoxicated.
I’m sure there are more, but that’s all I had off the top of my head.
