Graduation is rolling around at Wingate University. I'm sure the buzz on campus is crazy; it always is. I saw a tweet about this being the last week of classes and it brought back A LOT of memories of my last year there. So much happened, so much fun was had and so much things accomplished. Lately I've been traipsing down memory lane remembering how good life was before this whole adult thing happened. Here's a look at senior week at the WU through the eyes of yours truly...
From the Journal of Ryan Scales April 28, 2009:
Talk about creating memories…for the past four days I’ve been on a tear doing just that. It started off Friday with a party at JCSU. I was so proud of to see my Sigma sons party hop, even prouder to be alongside them.
Saturday was BIG. It was the party we planned 2009; post-pone because the deuce had a soccer game. Some of our bros. came down and we tore the house down. I sprained my foot party-hopping. Afterward we sat outside with frat joking and laughing and learning history. It was good.
Sunday was the apex, the crescendo of this weekend of awesomeness, a concert by this corny band called Sister Hazel. The fun started around six when after meeting up with Jen, Chauncey and Zeke in the Klondike, we all took it to the balcony on Jen’s floor and during the hours before the main show, we were cuttin’ fool along with the rest of Wingate.
There were a few guys who were nice and wasted and they were directly across from us. My neos and I party-hopped and battled with them from across the quad! That was pretty fun, but the topper was this dude in blue shorts who was straight clownin’! He was so gone (I’m not gonna call’im out!), I almost died laughing!!! I wonder if anyone got pictures.
When the concert started I didn’t have clue what these songs were, I just went with the vibe, which was damn good. Eventually members of international club joined us (Tes, Marlene, and Carina) and we wall jammed and spazzed out on the balcony for the first half of the show. Soon after we all made our way down into the crowd and continued with the good times! We watched people get crowd surfed including Tes, Jen, Willie and Cory (heard about the dive you took homie! Ouch!) A couple of girls got flipped completely (once again, no names!). We even did some crazy ass conga line with a few guys on the tennis team (I think). After we got through the crowd I found Chauncey and Zeke and we all got the party started again. We all got into a party-hop and even a Pi Kap jumped in (GREEK UNITY! WHOO-HOO!) I love that energy man, and I love being part of it!
After the show we went back to Jen’s room and spent the rest of the evening cracking up. My sons and their ‘number wars’ had me dying! Candie even came by. By the end of the night it was me Chauncey, Candie, Jen and her roommate Jyll (I think that’s how you spell it) all going out to Waffle House. Despite the horrible food it was great way to close out the night.
