The Morning After: Marking Her Territory

morning-after

[One of the greatest aspects of college life is the morning-after recap with friends. You stumble out of bed, grab your liquid of choice, and gather around the living room to replay (and remind yourself of) the events of last night. You laugh, you cringe and you share the highest of highs...and the rock-bottom lowest of lows. We thought we'd bring the fun of the recap to CollegeCandy, so grab that coffee and take part in the deliciously awkward moments your CC friends have to share.]

The second weekend of freshman year I was still riding on the elation of being at college and the freedom it offered. One of those freedoms being the freedom to drink as much as I wanted when I wanted. The girls on my hall and I were invited to a party at the baseball apartment off campus where I met a very cute, older, baseball player who seemed to take an interest in me. A few drinks later we were making out in his buddy’s room (or so I’ve been told by my friends who busted in to see what was going on).

Eventually everyone decided to take the party back to campus and go to what we call the “old apartments,” which is basically this crazy set of apartments on campus that are renowned for being crazy party spots. The one thing that is still clear to me (besides losing numerous games of beer pong) was that the cute older baseball boy could not remember my name. After being called different names that all started with the letter of my first name but were definitely NOT my name, I became a little upset with this adorable boy who wanted me to spend the night.

Finally, I made the executive decision to write my name down on him somewhere so he wouldn’t forget.  I grabbed a permanent marker off the beer pong table and told him to give me his arm so I could write my name down so he would never forget. He then so artfully said, “No I play baseball, write it on my chest!” So I proceeded to write my name and phone number in huge letters on his chest. When I woke up at 4am, (thankfully) still in my clothes from the night before, I saw the damage I had done (hickeys on his neck, permanant marker on his chest)  and I peaced out of there. Unfortunately one of his apartment-mates was in my first class on Monday morning and made it perfectly clear that he (and everyone else) knew what had gone down.

Unfortunately, almost two years later, I still hear comments about the “lacrosse girl freshman” who wrote on Goody’s chest and my friends will never let me live it down. I still get the “Do you remember the time….” everywhere I go.  Thanks, friends, because although you’ve told me a thousand times, I still can’t seem to remember.

But where would we be without our friends to remind us of our notorious bad decisions?

    If drinking's not an excuse for anything then why do you say "You guys were drunk" as the reason she should have stopped? The only people who blame others for their actions whilst drunk are those who are too high and mighty to have friends or ever try drinking, lest they do something less than honorable. Get off your high horse.

    I think all 3 of you are being a little quick to judge. It was one drunken night, so what?

    No, if I wrote this I would gladly admit it. I hate how every story that involves drinking on this site gets the "U SHUDN'T HAV BEEN DRUNK OMG LOL ITS ALL UR FAULT" response to it. This site is about college and sex. If you don't agree with drinking and sex GET OFF THE SITE and go waste your pathetic life somewhere else.

    kind of sad story really. I don’t really see any humor. You guys were drunk. He couldn’t remember your name nor wanted to remember your name. Shit, all the signs were clear yet you kept going. You sound very desperate.

    Drinking is never an excuse for anything..

    Yeah. She isn't asking for a moral judgement. She's just sharing a funny story.

    Plus, how is the story *sad*? Not every girl is looking for a lifelong commitment in every hookup. Sex doesn't have to mean love. Only desparate girls believe that, honey.

    what bullshit…all you women trying to act like men. Sorry folks, don't believe everything you see on tv.

    omg, that is not a bad story at all… i've heard far worse. and what is so wrong for women to act like men, i hate that double standard, it's so stupid. why can men be able to have promiscuous sex wherever and whenever and is then be praised, and then when a woman does it, she is considered a whore/slut. we live in a day and age where our society is progressing and the male and female spheres are morphing into one single circle, however, when it comes to sex, alcohol, and other personal decisions, we take a step back and say oh no, we can't have that. i'm sorry, it's just that it really infuriates me when double standards are put in place. it's a personal decision and no one should judge another person for that.

    At least when I woke up with that Lady Midget in Bakersfield, none of my friends were around …

    Wish that damn doberman had been somewhere else!

    …but she said she woke up with her clothes still on, so doesn't that make all the judgements moot points?

    loled @ Roxanna's response, not because i find the idea silly, but because I saw almost the exact same argument in this webcomic.

    Although I guess Louis was being a bit sexist there. just the preconception that being promiscuous is being manly is…. outdated? silly?

    anyways I don't think the story was sad…. it was kinda funny in a cute way. I mean i'd be pretty mortified it I did that, especially if my friends kept reminding me of it.

    I thought it was funny. Chill out people. The author didn't write this so you could judge her..it's just to share her experience. If you don't approve don't comment cause it's just mean.

Tell us what you're thinking...
