1st Night Carolina

Time to blog about the way the world oughta be.

So I show up in Maxcy dorm this morning to be greeted by

This guy, Harris Pastides. Well I introduced myself, hi I’m Stephen etc. And he says: “we’re really glad to have you at the college, I’m president of the University.” … You’re president? Woah! So the story gets better when he and his wife are totally down for taking a rug and 50 pound luggage up 3 floors of stairs to my room. Needless to say, I’m a fan.

Then it’s time for “First Night Carolina,” a freshman event where everyone gets together and gets pepped up for the year. So the little guy to your left is adoringly named: “Cocky.” Cocky? Anyway the standard cheer for any gamecock is: “gooooo COCKS” (embarrassing at all?) lol it’s not bad, because if 10,000 other people cheer at the same time, the weirdness sorta disappears, at least a little bit. Anyway my riff begins when I show up on time, get on the bus on time, and get to the stadium…on time. Well for the next HOUR I watched people file in, all the while seated on the deliciously comfy bleachers. Then the DVD doesn’t work. Then the cheesy segways… Why!? Well that’s why we have tomorrow.
