80s Party

Trinity College has an 80s party every year and, as could be expected, it always gets a little crazy. It's one of our biggest parties here and people definitely go all out. Brent and I pregamed together in his room before heading over to the party (for those of you who don't know--because someone always asks--"pregame" means drinking before going out to a party, I think it's originally a tailgating term).

Let this particular entry be a warning to all girls out there NOT to try to keep up with your boyfriend because you WILL drink too much and he WILL NOT refrain from taking embarrassing photos of you dancing, singing, and making a complete fool of yourself. That being said, here we are before things got carried away:

To give you an idea of where the night was going, I was making homemade Long Island Iced Teas (bad idea) and Brent was chasing shots of Jager with....Frosted Mini Wheats:

I guess I was just as bad about taking pictures of Brent doing stupid stuff....

Brent for some reason took a picture of me trying to do my hair:

Poor George didn't know what to make of all this so he crawled up in his little nest and watched from a safe distance:

If you didn't read what I said about about boyfriends getting girlfriends drunk and taking dumb pictures of them....

Clearly I could not be Gene Simmons from the band Kiss. I assume that's what I was going for with my tongue... or I had had a too much to drink:

We finally made it over to the party where the average BAC was probably 4x the legal limit:

I have no idea who this guy is, but he kept posing for my pictures. Doesn't that look like my move from earlier in the night?

After the party, we found our adorable little bunnies sleeping nose to nose:

That was our last 80s party... at least our last one at Trinity. It's definitely weird being a senior and doing our "last" everything. That's all right though because next year will be a whole new year of firsts!

Loving the drunk Brent - seriously trashed.

Your 80's outfit was perfect. I think I wore those same shoes to my freshman homecoming dance in 86.

I can't believe you are using your final days in college like this! Is this sort of behavior what your parents are paying for?

I am so happy right now. You look fantastic. Love the outfits and your hair looks amazing!

When I was in college we called "pregame" "prefunk". I guess it's a west coast thing.
