Toga Party (Upperclassmen vs. Freshman)

Everyone associated with Trinity University knows it is a prestigious institution, with extremely competitive academic and athletic atmospheres. However, what a lot of people do not like to admit is that this is still "college" and the kids will party.

There are obvious differences between Upperclassmen and Freshman when it comes to the academic arena, as well as the athletic arena. Nevertheless, those differences are also exemplified when the two classes are put in similar social settings. After classes last Friday many Freshman were wondering, "where is the party this weekend?" while many Seniors were thinking, "Toga party!"

After the Trinity Football game Saturday night, word spread like wildfire that there was a Toga Party at &#* %&#@. The Upperclassmen showed up with their usual friends (and unusual attire) ready to experience another crazy house party, while the Freshman showed up with their roommates looking like deer in headlights. The Seniors flowed throughout the party, knowing where to go and who to talk to. Most probably knew where they were going to hangout for majority of the party before it even started: outside to chill and talk, dance-floor to "dance," and living-room for games. On the other hand, the Freshman roamed around looking for where they would fit in best, trying to glean proper party etiquette.

The uptight posture of the Freshman contrasted well with the thoughtless minds of the Seniors letting loose for their last year of college.
