Things I miss about college...

The fall reminds me of college for some reason. Probably because I loved being on campus and going to football games in the fall. It makes me miss college. Here are some memories.

1. University of Utah football games
2. Long nights during Rush voting.
3. Song Fest....(Chi O's lost to the DG's this year) I think they sleep with the judges.

4. Getting to wear sweatshirts this time of year to morning classes at the U.
5. Driving by the Sigma Chi house and yelling "Woods Cross Wildcats" really loud.
6. Giving bikini waxes on the kitchen counter in the Chi O house
7. Pranking fraternity boys and watching them walk down to the Alpha Chi house thinking they were going to get some.
8. Stealing objects out of the Sigma Chi house, like their spinning disco ball...
9. Walking to 7-11 everynight to get a Big Stick
10. The Pie Pizzeria
11. Trying to find parking on Greek Row.

12. Sneaking out down the fire escape of the Chi O house.
13. All Greek ski trip to Tahoe.
14. 90210 parties every Wednesday night.
15. Planning my classes around 90210.
16. Letting bags full of crickets into the Sigma Chi house.
17. Living with Lindsey, Courtney, Anni, Em R., Jen, Em H, Josie, Kristen, Cami, Olivia, Jenny, etc. The list goes on and on.
18. Gabby our cook at the Chi O house.
19. Living in the dorms with Abi.
20. Getting treats at the Post everynight.

Oh, to be 20 again. Wouldn't that be fun for a weekend? It's like the movie Never been kissed where she goes back to high school.

Ok, Paige, you are officially in charge of planning a reunion. Get on it! I will go anywhere. I'm thinking Vegas?

I don't remember #6 every happening when I was there but #12 was pretty frequent except I wasn't the one sneaking out!!!!!

Paige, you are hilarious. No one is a better prank caller than you! I remember living upstairs with Jill when you were in the infamous 4-man...you, Andrea, Emily S. and who? You made Chi-O so much fun!

Lorilee said...

well, I can't really relate with all the chi-o stuff... but I do miss sweatshirts in the morning, planning my schedule also around 90210, and football games.

Paige, can you PUH-LEEZE tell me the secret handshake for the Chi-Omegas? Pretty please. Lindsey won't give it up.

Oh great, now you have me getting all nostalgic. There is nothing better than walking around the U campus in the Fall :)

"Everybody wants to be a Chi-Omega, everybody wants to go Chi-O!"
I'm not quite as nostalgic about my Chi-O days as you, but I loved being there with you! Were you ever in the 4-man? It was a stinky hole but those were some good times. What about Sconecutter shakes at midnight? I wish I could go through all the past Chi-O's and hand-pick my favs and start a new sorority - The A-O's! I am all about pranks and nudity so you'd definitely get a bid! (As would you, Josie, Emily, and Lindsey!)

what about all the making out that happens at "queen of the night" ohh oops, are we not supposed to talk about that?? sigs rule. betas drool.

derrickfam said...

Oh Paige...wouldn't it be fun if we could all go back there just for a weekend? I'd even let you wax my bikini line on the chio kitchen table again. Remember the fire in the basement? ha ha ha ha. oh man, I really miss those days.

derrickfam said...

Remember Gabby's swedish meatballs? And when she'd cook Thanksgiving dinner on a random Tuesday?!! yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I could never figure out at the time why I was gaining weight. ha ha. doi.

I could go for a reunion! Oh the good old days when life was so not complicated (although we probably thought it was). Tia and I use to sit in the galley late at night eating cereal, although "cereal was only for breakfast"...we named ourselves the Galley Trolls. And do you remember Lynette's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies? Josie and I use to hide them. I have the recipe and still make them.

I sure am glad I read your blog tonight- totally made my day! I have fond memories of #6?? Court, Jenn and I would wait in line for those! If I remember right Linds never went for it but was always there laughing. I think she was usually studying for US History!True?? Paige was so professional, she'd line the table with a beach towel and put the wax in the micro for the perfect amount of time! Oh, I too miss those "good ol' days"!!
p.s. Court, I thought the Shepherd's Pie was your fav!!!!

whit said...

Paige, I love fall on campus too! But for reasons other than #6, you ____ - I can't tell you our nickname for the Chi-O's. We can start a new sorority for sorority girls who want to mix and mesh. I loved living on greek row - and I think the DG's did sleep with the judges that year, and the one before that, and on that Tuesday, and on every other Sunday....

Lindsey said...

P, I miss college too - my memories in a nutshell are mostly in the Chio house, and aren't typical sorority girl memories: prank calling boys (never actually going on dates) and laughing with my friends (oh, and prank calling them too). My favorite prank call was calling someone in the house from my bedroom upstairs and telling them I had left and lost my car keys and making them look all over the whole house. Or #2, Court calling various fraternity houses crying saying she lost her underwear there the night before. Scaring people was a big fad too - Jenn was the most fun person to scare - I think we nearly scared her to death a few times.
PS: Em, I was not studying for US HIstory!! hh. okay, maybe I was.
PPS: Whit, I like the sorority mix and mingle for retired girls like us.
PPPS: My favorite Gabby meal was not Hawaiian Haystacks (I still don't understand that meal). I loved when she'd show up with donuts for breakfast!

Lindsey said...

Oh wait! "Ski Trip"??? As I recall, I was the only one who actually went skiing!! I rode the bus up by myself and that nutjob was rubbing my hand in my sleep...
