It’s well known that most college age kids like to party.
LDS kids like to party just as much as the next guy, and the fact that they
don’t include alcohol or drugs in their parties in no way means that they have
any less fun. In fact, partying the LDS way is probably a lot MORE fun, because
you can keep partying all night when you’re not busy puking your guts out in
someone’s bathroom.
We were no different than any other college kids as far as
liking to party. Our parties were big, loud, and fun fun fun. We played silly
games like the Vegetable game (where you had to talk with your lips covering
your teeth), the Football game (I can’t even remember how that one is played!),
Bus Stop, and other crazy things. Sometimes we cranked up the music and sang
into our spatulas, but that was usually when it was just the girls. We went on
sound scavenger hunts, and one time we even had a “P Party,” where you had to
bring something that started with “p” as admission to the party (pencil,
paperclip, etc). Another time we did a steak activity—bring your own steak, we
provide the baked potatoes. Whenever t was a real party, that we advertised to
more than just our smaller “group,” we had more people than actually fit into
my apartment. One night we accidentally got too loud after curfew, because we
forgot all about the existence of clocks, and we were sitting outside on the
sidewalk talking and laughing.
Here are pictures from a party that we had at a girl named
Cana’s house.
