I got stranded on an island and made my way through a jungle!

Fiji islander & ΣAE jungle party..
Let me just try to explain to you how amazing yesterday was!
 so here's a play by play of my day:
(parents don't judge me, it was my last party of the year)

After going to bed at 5 am the night before (or morning perhaps), I somehow didn't wake up to Ling Ling's 8329834 texts telling me to wake up but I shockingly woke up to my alarm at 8 am.  OK... 8 am doesn't seem painfully early, but for a college student who doesn't have any classes before noon, it's a different story! So I pealed my eyes open, threw on a bathing suit and sunglasses and then I headed up to the 4th floor to pregame  and rock out to girl power songs in a friends room. It didn't take much before I was woozy considering I woke up buzzin' from the night before.

20 minutes later we embarked on our long journey across campus to Fiji. But not to our surprise, we see one of my best friends getting out of discount cab holding heels in her hand and in her clothes from the night before. Because there is nothing discrete about hopping out of a lime green taxi, we HAD to  add to the effect by clapping her out as she did her walk of shame!

 This is what we showed up to when we finally made it to Fiji islander for our second pregame.  We don't joke around here at U of A! I was a little bummed when security made me throw away my caprisun cause it makes for a delicious chaser. Anyway, when we got inside the courtyard had a tiny man made pool with a swim up bar and palm fronds  and man made waterfalls were everywhere! We end up getting this mixed drink that I believe was straight rubbing alcohol or possibly just roofied, haha. We scratched that and just danced until it was time to get in line at SAE jungle party.

We walk over to SAE and see a long line that is snaked around non-sturdy metal gates. Of course we thought we were being sly and tried going around the group of people...yeah no...security yelled at us to get at the back of the line. We lingered around cause none of us were willing to stand in that line with hoochitas shoving to get in. So we were standing where the front of the line is but on the wrong side of the gate when one girl must have pushed too hard causing a huge domino effect of 30 girls AND THE GATE to hit the floor. Probably top 10 funniest thing I have ever seen!! Most importantly, it was the perfect opportunity to step over the girls and walk straight into the party...so we did! Be definitely got bitched at and one girl yelled "I think I broke my arm, don't cut me!"...like I cared. haha

With wallet and phone in hand, I knew it would be a recipe for disaster in in the pool. Ling Ling and I happen to walked in the SAE laundry room that was covered in filth. The drunks betches we were we hid our things in the laundry room closet.

We walked up the stairs, followed it around and went down a man made water slide into the man made pool. The pool was huge, crowded and covered their entire courtyard. It had a bigger and better waterfall and swim up bar. So in other words it was way more legit.

Lorissa and I found ourselves dancing under the waterfall entertaining the whole party! I am guessing I did one too many hair flips since I woke up with morning with a stiff neck. I'm not surprised...

There was a point in time when I lost all my friends and I was too confused to even fret. So what did I do? Made new friends that were standing on the edge of the pool dancing and joined them. I was like a dancing machine haha. Thats when I finally ran into Jordan and I flopped into the water, which was now a murky color.

Jord and I were cruising around the pool and enjoying the way college student make their own fun. For example, little kid pool toys now have significance in our live by using the pool noodles as beer bongs and blow up alligators as anti-drowning devices. People on the ledges of the pool would yell at us to look up and would pour their drinks into our mouth like the ultimate waterfall pour.

I think the last thing I remember is security guard consistently taking my drinks away cause I didn't have a 21 and up wristband. DANG IT. So we would just continue going back to the bartender and he would throw drinks our way. I always find a way to beat the system, sucker! jk haha.

There were sequences of blurred events that I wish I could tell you what happened cause I'm sure could have been embarrassing and something worthwhile to talk about.

I went through the entire day holding my shoes and managed not to loose them until the end of the party, I had let one float away. When it was time to leave I didn't wanna walk home barefoot so I gathered random shoes floating in the pool and went home...

 I ended up waking up at 8 pm with a blue jersey mesh shirt on that I supposedly had retrieved from the bottom of the pool hahaha and I felt like a hot mess express! With all that said, I had an amazing day and I have the bruises to prove it!
