The holidays are now over; we can all breathe a sigh of relief. AHHHH…now didn’t that feel good? With all the trees covered in tinsel and little ceramic snowmen packed neatly back in the attic it’s most likely time for those of you who are between the ages of 21 and 25, like it or not, to head back to school. With the memories of late mornings and over filled bellies of food and booze behind you and the prospect of 40+ hours a week of class and studying ahead of you…this time of year can quickly pull a blanket of BLAH over anyone’s good mood. What is a blanket of BLAH you might ask? well it’s a backpack full of books, TA’s who barley speak English, over priced tuition and a lame ass part time job…all of this on top of the fact that most parts of the county aren’t seeing temperatures hit digits above 20… THAT my friends, is a blanket of BLAH.
But as everyone knows riddled amongst the late night study sessions and early morning chem. classes, just about everyone attending a major or minor college or university finds at least some time to swill a few brewskies back…which usually leads to finding more time to swill back a lot more but we wont go there…
As all of you prepare to either settle back into your humble collegiate commune or setting off to move into a new one, here are some suggestions of some pretty rad stuff that might help jazz your den up a little bit.
One of the main “down falls” (to put it nicely) to just about every party house, is the filth…dozens of people gallivanting about your house randomly dispensing the dirt and grim they pick up from the walk over all over your living room. That combined with the ever flowing river of beer and booze seeping deep into your carpet, things can get pretty nasty, pretty quick. Now, no one is trying to kid anyone here, I understand most of you peoples places probably weren’t in tip top condition to begin with, and I also understand the land lord hasn’t been there since you singed the lease, BUT come on folks, it doesn’t hurt to try a little. Like this kick ass door mat…since it’s a door mat I’m not going to go to into detail about the thing…I mean it’s a door mat for Christ sake…just look at it.
Another advantageous additive to your home might be this Arctic Net Cooler Scoop (AKA beer scooper). This dandy fellow helps prevent you from making an ass of your self when you go to shake some ones hand or wrap your arm around that girls waist after you just grabbed a frosty one outta the community cooler. Instead of leaving a clammy cold wet spot leading every one to believe you are either the living dead or so drunk you just pissed on your self in an attempt to drain the tank, you can walk away from the cooler with warm, dry hands…
The last piece of advice I can give you when it comes to party house decorum is to get some thing on those walls!! And NOT just the same old tattered posters of Bruce Lee and Scarface, those have been played to the point of no return…Now Im not talking about putting up any half naked Anne Geddes babies…but something with, how shall I put it, a “little less class”…something to help make that bond between you and your roommates as tight as your wallet after having to put up your own bond as an after math of last weeks party.
So fellow party goers and fun havers…keep your head up this semester and don’t drink anything you didn’t bring ladies…from now until then and for everything around the bend…this is Jason D and After 5 saying thanks and come again
