Friday Favorites

With Pirates of the Caribbean fresh out in theaters, I thought I’d share on my favorite bout of mischief. I’ve done lots of harmless, not-so-legal activities including late nights and black outfits. But my favorite, some of you may or may not know about. Don’t worry, Campus Police has already forgiven us. On the eve of the 2007 Winthrop Day, a day in which all potential freshmen come to tour Winthrop, Grace, Courtney, Kevin, and myself decided to make a statement. That upcoming year (my senior year) Winthrop was implementing the new rule that freshmen and sophomores had to live on campus their first 2 years. As upperclassmen, we were mad. This meant that I couldn’t live with Brooke and Maggie, Grace couldn’t live with Katie B, and Courtney and Kevin…they just wanted an adventure I guess. So at 3am, Courtney drew this:

We printed off what had to be 500+ of these flyers and posted them all over campus. Now when I say “all over campus” I literally mean it looked like it had snowed. We stuck those suckers on every parking sign, building sign, statue, door, squirrel, and trashcan. The 4 of us spread out and as we were approaching our last few flyers, just as we were sticking them on the Rutledge building sign, a car door slams. Campus police get out and yell something, but us girls took off running inside Rutledge. Why the crap did we do that? Anyways, we ran through the ceramics room, just running from the cops. We finally made it to the women’s bathroom (surely they couldn’t find is in there) and the woman cop came in and busted us. No handcuffs or anything, just a disappointed/confused look at us dressed in all black with tape all over us. She gave us the option of being arrested or to take them all down, and since my criminal record is still clean, we chose to take them down. This took about another 3 hours and then we went to Waffle House. Getting a good hard talk from my RA boss a few days later wasn't my proudest moment. But it kinda was.
