This I Believe Tuesday

This I Believe Tuesday - I believe that sometimes you are just too old to go out.

This past weekend was a GREAT weekend full of reuniting with old friends and having fun with more recent friends.  But one thing I learned is that sometimes, you just need to face the fact that you might possibly be too old to go out. 

As we heading downtown, my friends and I began a list of signs you are too old for this.  And the list went a little something like this...

  • You are one of very few women wearing a jacket - despite the fact that it's 30 degrees outside.
  • You show your actual passport instead of your Hokie Passport as your second form of identification.
  • You are seriously considering tying your jacket around your waist because it's so hot and crowded in the bar.
  • When you're at the bar, you're looking for others who might possibly be older than you.
  • When you're leaving the bar, you hold on tight to the railing when going down the stairs.
And drum roll please... The biggest sign that you are too old to go out is....

When you need a full day to recover.

What do YOU believe?

Y3W: Fall, Friends, Fun

Jenni from the Blog challenges bloggers to sum up their week in three words.  Here's mine for this week...

Fall.  Friends.  Fun.

Let's start with the first word - Fall.  This is by far my favorite time of year in Virginia.  The air is crisp cold, there is a nice breeze gust of wind, and the leaves are full of beautiful colors.  I just love it.  I love walking outside, breathing in the autumn air, and taking in the beautiful landscape.  Seriously, only a picture can show you what I mean (and this was taken a few weeks ago - the trees are even more vibrant now).


And the last two words - Friends and Fun - are really geared toward this upcoming weekend.  It's homecoming at Virginia Tech, which means a lot of friends are coming into town.  And what happens when lots of friends get together?  FUN!  It's going to be a great weekend, hopefully one filled with remembering many fun times in the past and making memories for the future. 

How would you sum up your week in three words?

Y3W: Poo, Vom, Pee

Yes, I said it. 

Poo.  Vom.  Pee.

Ridiculous I know, but that's what I've been dealing with over the last week and a half.  Living in a residence hall of over 1,000 students means that our number of incidents are up.  However, we have had a lot of shit crap issues in the building.  And it's not just pooping, vomiting, and peeing... it's also just general issues with alcohol and drugs.

What the heck is wrong with these students?  I do not remember any of this happening in my residence hall when I was a freshman.  Or was I just oblivious?  That very well could be.

Either way, my week can be summed up in the above three words.  Let's hope these issues stop soon.
