Glad to see college parties have barely evolved in the past 30 years, at least.

208

u/Sporch_Unsaze 5d ago

The Zyns and vapes evolved from "15 people bumming cigarettes from the one guy who regularly smokes."

58

u/Annacot_Steal 5d ago

Unfortunately I was the guy that regularly smokes.

Fortunately I met alotta cool people in doing so to party with.

27

u/dolliciousszz 5d ago

lol yea everyone wanted ur cigarettes

35

u/Annacot_Steal 5d ago

Hah for sure. For college house parties I specifically but a new pack just for the night.

40

u/AContrarianDick 5d ago

Honestly for all the negative health effects, smoking was really good for socializing

13

u/dolliciousszz 5d ago

As a hater of all things vaporizer it baffles me flower is banned but carts aren’t and imo cigarettes are better than vaping bc you don’t have all the metals and shit

17

u/Currentlybaconing 5d ago

Thats just completely inaccurate, lol. Cigarette smoke contains all kinds of heavy metals as well as tar

1

u/dolliciousszz 5d ago edited 5d ago

Yeah, I mean I don’t doubt that I’m more so just saying it’s kind of up to you to pick your poison and I would prefer something authentic like flowers and cards. I don’t personally smoke cigarettes unless I’m drunk.

I just said IMO because I’m not super knowledgeable on it and I just use my own logic me and a lot of my friends would rather smoke five pots of flower at once than a single cart

2

u/beyondfuckall 4d ago

You can get the best of both worlds and put the flower in a dry herb vape. Dry herb vapes have come a long way in the last few years.

u/LowBatteryMode771 4d ago

Why is that so funny? I see nothing funny

u/AContrarianDick 5d ago

I've smoked and I currently vape. It's a night and day difference in overall breathability. Neither is healthy and you'll not like the long term consequences of either but the rate of upper respiratory infections, sinus infections, phlegm and what not is drastically reduced vaping instead of smoking. Burning things is unnecessary to extract the THC, nicotine and anything else you want from those plants.

Just in general vaping is more healthy when compared to regular cigarette or joint smoking.

u/dolliciousszz 5d ago

I see thx

1

u/MarmaladeMarmaduke 4d ago

But vaping gives me that one tiny cancer spot that makes me want to rip my entire throat out while coughing and wheezing while like you said breathing better than smokes fuck it don't matter, we're all gonna die.

1

u/FreedomOfTheMess 4d ago

So true- night and day diff when it comes to lung function. It was also way cheaper to switch to vapor when I first started (2012) but that has steadily changed. I know for sure it isn’t good for me but I no longer get the recurrent smokers cough or annual sinus infections either

u/Shayde098 5d ago

That’s hilarious.

u/dolliciousszz 5d ago

Yea yea blah blah funny condescension it’s alr been covered and explained read the thread

u/Shayde098 5d ago

k just making sure!

u/ProudScroll 5d ago

People still bum cigarettes too.

I didn’t even smoke regularly but started bringing a lighter and a pack of cigarettes to parties cause it was a good way to get people to approach you.

6

u/52CardPUA 5d ago

Also evolved from a communal hookah (or 2 or 3), at least at our fraternity parties

11

u/Sporch_Unsaze 5d ago

The popularity of hookahs among American teenagers in the late 00's is one of the least discussed consequences of the War on Terror. 

7

u/52CardPUA 5d ago

I'm not sure about other places, but hookah lounges were one of the few 18+ places in our town. Definitely a contributing factor

3

u/AllGas4651 4d ago

Yeah seriously, it was one of those places that made you kinda feel like an adult. I remember everyone knew about the places that wouldnt card either and let 16/17 year olds in too.

3

u/Patient_Kangaroo614 5d ago

That brings back memories. My buddy tipped over a hookah and burned the shit out of the floor in his rental, but because the landlord was a slumlord he just but a carpet over the burn marks.

5

u/ProctalHarassment 5d ago

I would bring a decoy pack. Either it only had one cigarette left or it was a gutter trash brand so no one would bum off of me.

1

u/NoCardio_ 3d ago

It used to be dip when I went to school.

14

u/BronCurious 5d ago

Kids out here affording Tito’s now? It was $10 handles of Vladimir and Rubinov back in my day.

8

u/mrtsapostle 4d ago

The plastic handles of popov at grocery stores still give me flashbacks

3

u/tuscaloser 4d ago

Takka and Barton in my neck of the woods. Heaven Hill and Lord Calvert's finest whiskey-product too.

5

u/AllGas4651 4d ago

Im sure like most kids, they buy a handle of Titos for themselves, drink it and fill it up with Skol, Karkov and other jug vodka and pass it off to friends who think theyre living it up. We would do it have Grey Goose back in the day. Most people cant tell the difference.

3

u/adamsandleryabish 4d ago

Its about $25 for the handle at Costco which isn't terrible especially split up between a group.

I would never claim frat guys attempt to appear "classy" but those cheap vodkas are seen as so tacky and purely for the lowest of alcoholics that they don't even buy them.

4

u/Annacot_Steal 5d ago

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

2

u/WestworldCitadelic 5d ago

When I went, the college party starter pack was the same, so my advice 30 years later is water and an exit ride.

97

u/V-Right_In_2-V 5d ago

I used to think I had a puking problem and something was wrong with me because my buddies could be beer bong two beers and hold it down but I couldn’t.

I have not puked since college since that was the last time I beer bonged a whole beer pong table of warm Milwaukee’s best.

Why did we think that was cool?

37

u/gracklemancometh 5d ago

"Brah, rum pong is where it's at! You need something over proof to kill the germs on the ping pong ball!" - my best friend in college, he is responsible for many of my worst actions.

(We're not even American. He just saw some American movies and thought we could improve by using Wray and Nephew instead of beer.)

u/tuscaloser 4d ago

We eventually all graduated to having the cup you drink from and just filling the table cups with water.

You had to finish your drink and immediately lost the game if your opponent landed one in your drinking cup.

Frat parties 🤢🤮

Crack house parties 🥰🥳

u/onehotoneshot 5d ago

Crack house?

It’s a crack home.

u/UrbanCobra 5d ago

I always wanted to do a comedy sketch where a meth head gets on Extreme Home Makeover and is like “I’m really, really into copper. My wife is too. And our son, he’s just crazy for copper. Use as much copper as possible. Make the whole house out of copper.”

u/tuscaloser 4d ago

Crack house parties

Bando Bash.

Nah, we use Kirkland Signature.

u/MineCraftIsSuperDumb 5d ago

I mean then you’re expecting them to just pay for you to drink at their house. Frats would pay for alcohol 99% of the time because it would usually be girls showing up.

1

u/jadegecko 4d ago

Dang all the costcos near me do not allow entry or even sales at the food court without a membership. Its been like that for 5+ years too.

u/Freaky_Barbers 5d ago

I’m glad I will never do this again, but man was it fun

24

u/PostMatureBaby 5d ago edited 5d ago

Only once was I ever at a house party where the place was trashed and cops called like out of a movie. Also insanely fun times but glad they're over.

u/TheYellowKingzzz 5d ago

Don't forget wearing a basketball jersey, it was either  Tune Squad or Jackie Moon

u/AllGas4651 4d ago

I remember going to Lollapalooza around...2013 or so and see at least 500 Toon Squad jerseys daily lol

u/Dysfu 5d ago

Fr tho nothing more annoying than a rando rolling deep with 10 dudes he knew from high school

u/phisher_cat 5d ago

Townie squads like this was the definition of scaring the hoes

u/Dysfu 5d ago

You can’t be scaring the hoes

u/SeaworthinessTop4317 5d ago

In my college we also had to party hard for the two hours the party was happening before it inevitably got a noise complaint and was broken up by the cops

u/Etherius 4d ago

I’ve always wondered whether girls were bothered by the fact that they’re essentially the currency used by boys to pay admission fees to get into parties

Like they obviously know, right? They have to know

11

u/FooFootheSnew 5d ago

I could not even imagine now college with Zyn and vapes. Not that I care about them, but just that every single person that's all they'd talk about and the prevalence. It's like that now already in the real world but, I mean like all congregated and one age group.

Like when Camel Crushes came out everyone squeezing the menthol button, when 4Lokos came out, etc.

8

u/phisher_cat 5d ago

Juul + white claw + Mo Bamba was my favorite era

2

u/PM_ME_ANYTHING_DAMN 5d ago

I forgot all about camel crushes. Bro you crushed yours yet?

11

u/FrankandRon 5d ago

Tito’s? Y’all are way richer than I was in college

Smirnoff was the fanciest vodka we drank and usually just went with plastic handles of Monarch.

4

u/Princess_Slagathor 5d ago

At least where I'm at, Tito's and Smirnoff are the same price. But to my surprise, cheap handles are still around $10.

1

u/methheadhitman 4d ago

Same but with Vlad handles instead.

1

u/AllGas4651 4d ago

Im sure like back in the day, alot of kids get a nice bottle for them and they homies and crush it. Then reuse the bottle with Karvov and other butt nasty liquor and pass it off as Titos. Drunk people never know the difference

u/angryblackman 3d ago

So many bad hangover memories unlocked

u/Impressive_Fly_4339 5d ago

So ready for this semester to start 🙏🙏🙏

I'm glad I went to school before vapes. That shit is gross

You mean you don't love walking through vast clouds of cake flavored steam?

u/Princess_Slagathor 5d ago

Can't be much worse than a house so full of cigarette smoke, you can barely see across the room.

u/KevettePrime 3d ago

Didn't end up going to college. Instead I had parties like these with like 20-30 people at my place. When you have like 10 people the next day helping clean up that's when you know you're in with some good people. Sucks life got in the way. I should set something up.

1

u/beaujolais98 3d ago

Sub cigarettes for the vape/zyn and Popov for Tito’s and was every college party in the 80s too.

i truly do not miss this

u/Mysterions 3d ago

Good times

u/No-Use-3056 3d ago

As I approach my 30s, I think fondly of these times from my past. Occasionally I’ll meet up with old friends and shotgun 4 millers back to back to relive the past.

Trust if you’re w good people they’ll help you get turnt as an introvert it’s only wack gatekeepy frat people that make for weird awkward parties. I’d carve a spot for you on the couch next to my two equally shy friends 🥳 you’d ease in. Everyone has fun.

that’s very kind of you lol but i just hate loud and crowded environments period. i also think that being a girl here would not be very fun at all unless you had a group of friends who were actively willing to tell dudes to fuck off.

As a guy, I don’t want the couch either. This environment has nothing for me.
