Collegiate Times

Planners are not completely feminine. Yes, if you buy yourself a pink one then I would certainly deem that girly, but they make ones that are black and some even have Hokies on them.

Still against the idea of a planner? Well, at least there’s facebook. Thanks God for that very convenient birthday reminder they added.

The manner of making memories to each sex differs like oil and water. Girls like to make shirts, look out for each other and celebrate the fun way on a friend’s 21st birthday. Guys, on the other hand, find it appropriate to — in a sense — torture each other and find great amusement from this.

Here’s a fantastic idea. Instead of taking pictures of your friend on his 21st birthday, let’s buy him the most disgusting shot imaginable so he’s sure to remember the evening. How about a “Gorilla Fart” or a “Sweaty Mexican Lumberjack?” Mmm yes … Bacardi 151, tequila and mayo. I just cannot think of a better 21st birthday gift than that.

Perhaps it’s a way of proving masculinity or maybe conditioning each other to never be able to drink a certain type of liquor without gagging ever again.

No I know, here’s a better idea. Instead of making group shirts for a crawl — that’s way too girly — let’s get him so drunk he’ll hate himself in the morning. Remember, water-wimp. Yes, good night. Shall we scrapbook it?

Ok, so feeling like death the morning after your 21st is certainly inevitable and even reasonable. But suffering the entire night without a friend by your side is just cruel. Guys may not have long hair to hold back or might feel uncomfortable spooning with a member of the same sex, but at least have the decency to monitor your friend’s breathing from a distance.

I’m not saying run to Hallmark and sign up for the next scrapbooking class, but again, like our elders always say, college is the time of your life. So why not make some memories and maybe once in a while, take a few pictures to remind yourself of these golden years.
