Experiences

Life at Carolina is pretty awesome, minus the actual school part. There have been so many cool things that I have done that I would have never been able to experience back home. Note: the following experiences are in no particular order.

DD: For pledging we had to have “Designated Drivers” to drive around all of the brothers who might not be able or capable to drive themselves on a particular night. Why would this be a memorable experience? Well, I was assigned DD five times, from 10 to 3 each time. Let me be the first to tell you, guys who have been drinking for some time prior to you picking them up is one of the funniest things to witness. Some of the things said as I drove them to their next destination were some of the most hilarious, though sometimes incoherent, things I have ever heard. I even got to drive TJ Yates and some football players around some. Pretty cool.

Laser Light Show: One night when there really wasn’t much going on anywhere, a few of my friends from high school and I decided to go to the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon Laser Light Show. I had heard good things about it so I was pumped. Obviously, we all had to get in the right “state of mind” for seeing said show, so after those events took place we went. Holy crap. It was the craziest, most intense show I’ve ever seen. It was so freaking cool – I would recommend it for anyone to go see. Naturally, it is better if you go after getting in the right “state of mind” but I’m sure it’d be awesome either way. Go check that out.

P2P Rides/Walks Home: There have been many late nights in my days here at Carolina. Many times I have taken the P2P but sometimes a meander through the campus of Carolina sounds like a lot of fun for some reason. On the P2P, I have witnessed a girl throw up all over herself and the seat next to her, without seeming phased in the least bit. I seen people “taking a quick nap” during the ride. I have seen a bus driver cuss someone out because they were being too obnoxious. On my walks home, I have probably taken several different routes back to my dorm. I have seen one of my friends who had to go “number 2” so bad that he had to grab some newspaper and take a squat right where he was. I have seen other people meandering through the campus who seem as if they are having trouble walking for some reason.

To wrap it all up, I have experienced some of the coolest things here at Carolina, even if they don’t seem that cool at a glance. But hey, I’m easily amused.
