Throw a party mere days before finals begin? Challenge accep-... DENIED. Come on! That'd be insane! Or would it? Yeah, it probably would. That's why we didn't throw a party, and instead went for a small, peaceful, alcohol-free get-together. And it wasn't all that bad!
Rather than booze, the few of us stockpiled food (and non-alcoholic beverages). Nothing too fancy or pricey, just some candy, simple sandwiches, hot dogs, soda... basically, things a poor college student can afford. After this was taken care of, everything was ready for the most killer party ever. Only it wasn't a party. And even if it was, it wouldn't exactly be the "most killer" one ever. But I digress.
We started off by reflecting on the past few months. These being our first months in college, there was quite a lot to talk about: the differences between a high school and a university way of education (namely crying about the self-study part), the classes we take, the professors who teach us - the common stuff. It was not all about school, though, and we obviously discussed the Christmas break as well. I believe someone even brought up abortion at some point during the night, although I'm not sure I want to know why.
While the reason we got together was to have fun, it was also to brush up our English. Trying to learn new vocabulary that would soon be needed in the finals was one area we focused on, among other things. However, it was met with varying success, and honestly, I can't help but feel we're yet to realize how badly we underestimated this part of the exam when we're given the results back.
That's pretty much it for the party/get-together. It was nice to hang out with some of my new college friends and I can only hope we'll get to do this more often.
