the weakest party.
Definitely 2004, Fall, Freshman year. It was the Sunday before school officially started, my first semester.
I had a single apartment in Hale Aloha Ilima, Room 433. I had no idea what to expect from college life. I was living around a lot of friends from high school, and a lot of others that I had recently been introduced to through being a Regents Scholar.
So that last night before we would all begin our college careers, I invited everyone over to my room. I don’t know why, I guess because it was supposed to be cool in college and it was going to be cool socializing all the time.
I can’t remember exactly who was there, because I believe some of the people I didn’t even know that well. Definitely John, Evan, Fuj, K-Ching, and probably at least a few other random people from floor four. Maybe Alex? I remember also there were at least a few Regents girls there, I want to say Iris was there, I definitely know Jillian was there because I had to let her in from the Honors building (HA Lehua?), they even made us go through the silly “guest sign in” process and she even brought some drinks.
By drinks I mean Hawaiian Sun soft drinks. We were pretty square.
All I remember was that it was kind of awkward, we all sat around my room and talked for like an hour or two. And that’s how college began.
