Hey Doga, you had me giggle through the essay, and I don't mean it in a mean way. I giggled at the innocence of youth that you brought out in your recollections in a homorous manner. I very much enjoyed reading your experience. It helped me understand what frat life is about. My university is known as a party college, and there were tons of frat and sorority parties every weekend. But I never stepped into one because I wasn't into drinking at all. So now I feel that I finally have gotten a good picture of how these parties are like. I laughed at your friend's grudge for you even to this day!

Hello Louisa! I'm glad you had fun reading the piece. It was fun for me to write, too. I could feel that it was flowing much more easily than some of my other articles and I really like it when I can get into that state.

Yes, you didn't miss too much by skipping the frat parties during your college years. I mean, I am glad I have experienced them but when I look back now, I am grateful that I am over that phase of my life haha.

I sent my friend the piece and he said he had fun reading it but he is also still complaining!

Ha ha, yes, it's good to know I didn't miss all that much, and I probably saved myself form some horrific experience, you know.

Well, I'm really glad to hear that the writing process for this one was much easier and that your words flowed! Keep going in the same direction and continue enjoying the process!
