Ty’Kia: Lol okay, so me and three of my friends thought it was okay to party on a Thursday, knowing that we had a midterm that Friday. However of course you know college students party Thurs-Sun so we thought we could fit in with the upper class-men by attending and then just setting an alarm to wake up for the following day. Lets just say things were chaos trying to wake up lol I jumped out bed springing into action putting on clothes while calling my friends THAT NEVER PICKED UP!! soon as i got to their dorms, They were so tired from last night I jumped threw the window waking them up and we all rushed to class. Lets just say I will not be doing that again!
