How to get into college – Monday – Period Three

Marshall ~~handwavily~~ asked the kids to come to the Danger Shop for class today. It was made up to look like the inside of a club for some reason. Everybody could take a seat at the bar while Marshall was lecturing.

“Okay guys, you’re in college, it’s a Friday night and there is one question on everybody’s minds: Where’s the party? There’s always going to be something to do, every weekend, no matter what school you go to. Now before you decide where to go out you need to make sure your priorities are straight. Do you have a big project due next week? Do finals start on Monday? Do you have a wedding to go to tomorrow? If any of those answers are a yes then you might want to stay in that night. But if those answers are a no then, hell yeah, go out!”

“You’ve got a few options when it comes to parties in college - -“

1 . The Bar – “The bars are tempting, yes. It’s dark, there’s booze and you won’t get pressured into dancing if you don’t want to. But if you’re under twenty-one I’d avoid the bars. They’re pretty strict about the ID’s outside of Fandom. If you’re over twenty-one then I gotta say, few things beat a good bar. Even if the bartender is a vampire.”

2. Clubs – “I personally love clubs but I know a lot of people aren’t fans of them. They’re loud, they’re crowded and drinks are overpriced. But there are a lot of ladies wearing skimpy outfits and there’s dancing. Lots of dancing! Dancing is awesome. It’s easier to get into clubs if you’re under twenty-one, especially if you’ve got a good fake ID. Not that I’m encouraging you to get one…oh, who are we kidding, yes I am.”

3. Frat Houses/Sororities – “Frat houses and sororities are good places for theme parties if you’re into them. Toga parties, Casino nights, this one time I went to a frat party where the guys filled their house with sand and had a beach party. The keg usually has good beer in it and there’s always a good chance of seeing two preppy boys getting into a fight. The people here won’t be the best conversationalists and the girls don’t want anything to do with you unless you look like a male model but they are always good for booze.”

4. House Parties – “Just what it sounds like. A person with a house is having a party. These were the parties that I mostly went to until I turned twenty-one. The keg is filled with either Natty Light or Milwaukee’s Beast but after you drink five of them you don’t really care how bad it tastes. It’s really crowded and you run the risk of having to go on a beer run late at night but it always makes for a good time. There’s good people, good music and lots of mari—sandwiches. I like house parties.”

“Okay so I couldn’t really figure out an assignment to go with this lecture without getting into trouble with the principal so um...DANCE PARTY!”

Marshall hit a button on the wall of the Danger Shop and the strobe lights and music started going. Marshall grinned. This school was awesome.

It might be the most important lecture you’ve ever had.

Amber listened, taking mental notes.

Ned didn't take many notes because, aside from that fluke of Dick wanting him to throw a party, he didn't think he'd ever be one to actually seek out a party.

He did listen, though.

Romeo only half-listened. Finding parties was never a challenge for him.

Chris, surprisingly, wasn't taking notes. He was pretty sure that he'd be avoiding most parties when he went to college.

Lucas tried not to think about the downside to house parties. You know, the part where someone finds and plays a tape of your mom telling her then-boyfriend now-your deadbeat dad talking about how they'll be together forever and then you punch out your half brother for being a total tool and wonder why you're friends with these people. Yeah.

Friday listened to the lecture with a look on his face that made him wonder if he was dreaming or if he really was getting taught how to party as part of a school workshop.

Summer listened to the lecture intently, though she wasn't taking notes.

Get out there and dance. And, yes, you have to. But don’t think you can dance better than Marshall. Because you can’t (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZSkhD6Td7k).

Amber was definitely dancing!

Ned was...moving one finger on one hand side to side. There was no dancing happening here. It would only lead to pain and suffering.

Romeo was lurking on the fringes of the dance floor, trying to look approachable and dance-like without actually dancing.

Chris was so not the dancing type. He stood at the edge of the dance floor and bobbed in time to the music.

Summer wandered over to Chris. "You're not dancing."

"No, I'm not," Chris said. "You're very observant."

"Why not?" Summer asked.

Chris shrugged. "I'm not really much of a dancer."

Summer moved closer to the dance floor. "You should dance with me."

"Should I?" Chris asked, quirking an eyebrow at her. "What's in it for me?"

"Maybe we can work something out," Summer replied.

"Maybe," Chris replied with a small smirk.

Summer wandered even further out on the dance floor and held an arm out toward him. "Come on. It'll be fun."

Chris sighed, but knew that he couldn't refuse his girlfriend a dance.

"Okay, okay," he said, taking her hand and joining her on the dance floor.

Summer grinned. "Yay."

Friday shook his head at the task, then shrugged and threw himself around in a way that might have been interpreted as dancing.

Sam did not dance. At all. He was standing and vaguely swaying to the music.

Find him at the bar where he could order a fake beer if he wants. Oh, wait for him to ping in first. Yeah.

Yeah, Chris wasn't ordering fake beer. But he was around.

He’s not likely to stop dancing any time soon.

Romeo waited until most of the students had dispersed before approaching Marshall. "I apologize for missing class last week," he said, with a tiny smile. "I wasn't exactly myself."

"It's no problem," Marshall said. "We just practiced lying when you miss class."

Romeo grinned. "Such a fitting topic," he observed. "If I make up a good lie, might we say I passed the session?"

I have gone to a Hawaiian themed frat party when the guys filled their entire house with sand. It was awesome. The only downside was that I got a lot of come ons that involved me getting lei’ed. But still, house filled with sand!
