The REAL Animal House

Just finished reading Chris Miller's memoir about his college sophomore year. Obviously the focus of the book involves him rushing and pledging the Alpha Delta fraternity and all the hijinks that followed. 

Needless to say, I LOVED this book. I pledged TKE in college and despite that Miller's memoir reflects on college in the '60s and I was in college from 2003-2007 there are an infinite number of similarities that far outshine the very few differences. I would like to know what college was like in past decades. It would astound me and I would love it very much. 

The college semester end in two weeks. I'll return to New Paltz on May 17th for 24 hours of nonstop drinking and partying as part of the graduation weekend ritual. I'm excited because it will be a fitting celebration/mourning to mark my one year anniversary since I became a college graduate and had to enter the real world. Tragedy. 

It's a most bittersweet time. Summer is right around the corner. Here's hoping that the summer kicks ass! Cheers!
