Off Campus Parties #1

It's 10 pm on a Friday night. The question at hand is what parties are there and which one do we want to go to? Hmmmmmm....

First thing to do is text everyone to see if they have heard of anything going on. This step is the most important because you have to decide what intel is good. This person could have heard of something going on the same way you are, but not know for sure if anything is happening. When you receive the text that Party A is happening, a couple questions run through your head:

Does this person normally know what's going on?

Who did they hear it from?

Is their intel good?

With texting now being the prominent form of communication, people can't read people as much anymore. So you never know how sure the person actually is because you can't see their face as they are saying it. Texting makes it so impersonal because now you don't have to actually talk or see anyone to find out what's going on. This results in possible relationships not being pursued because people just have to send them a text, but don't have to try actually seeing or talking to them. 

Even though texting is so impersonal, people will still get an answer and then decide what they want to do with it. Here is where the possible story comes in...

One night a group of friends got a text saying that something was going on at Party A, but weren't sure if something was actually happening. In order to make sure that this was happening, they asked a few other girls and ended up sharing a cab with them to the party. When they get to the party, the house is dead silent, dark, and empty. By the time the girls realize this, the cab had driven away.

6 girls + dressed up + alone + freezing + in the middle of nowhere = 

NOT GOOD!

Eventually one of the more sober girls decided that it would be a good idea to walk towards traffic and continuously attempt to call a cab. I say continuously, because the story goes that the cab company kept hanging up on this group of girls. Apparently, the drunk girls didn't really know what was going on at the time, but the sober girls were focused on getting everyone home safely. Eventually a cab came and all was well with the world...but still that is one heck of a story.

Do these kinds of things happen at college? Is this story...

Myth or Reality?
