TooMuchTooSoon

Everybody is always concerned with their first impressions on people. Something about making them think you’re not a psycho or something really gets people concerned with what they do or how they act.

The best first impression I’ve ever seen, well, more like heard of, was of my good friend Chatham. It wasn’t so much of a first impression more so than trying to impress a girl, but you can’t have an impression without trying to impress.

So it was the first weekend of Freshman year, or second, but who’s counting. We were all going around to random frat parties, just having a great time getting drunk and whatnot. Plus, most of it was free because we were ‘potential recruits’. Anyway, we were in this really shitty house, in their basement referred to as ‘the cave’ and we had been getting drunk all night. Chatham decides it’s time for him to become bartender, and gets behind their bar and starts dealing us out drinks. Sure enough, after a few minutes some other people tried to get drinks, and he realized quickly that his fun was over. We finished what we had and then got out of there (just before the cops came too).

Now, I had gone home after this for some other reasons, but I heard all about this story and I wish I was there. Apparently, Chatham had found a gallon of milk filled up pretty far, and decided he wanted to chug it. The reason he was doing this was to ‘impress’ a girl and try to get her number. For some reason he thought if he chugged this milk, it would lead him to get her number.

So he chugged, and eventually puked everywhere (not sure if right after or a little while later), but it was still funny enough. The girl did give him her number, but we later found out it was a fake number, of course.

One of the funniest parts of the story is that towards the end of our second semester sophomore year, we found out who the girl was. It turned out it was someone who had known through common friends, and had eventually kind of become friends with her. We didn’t find out she was the one he chugged the milk for for a while, but when we did it was certainly quite ironic.

The stupidity some people go through to make first impressions, or trying to get someones number, is beyond me…
