Shoulder to shoulder we will drink, drink, drink?

Every year the Princeton Review does a poll of the nations Top Party Schools. The 2009 results are in and University of Colorado, Boulder has, not surprisingly, made the list. It brought a smile to my face to see that we were on the list and just above the University of Iowa where Brian attended (not that I'm competitive).


I must be getting old, because I was most proud that we weren't the #1 school. At one point while I was at CU we were ranked #1. I remember at the time it seemed like such a big deal. Now that I am old and oh-so-wise, I think CU has so much more to be proud of than our ability to party. Such as our renowned academics, beautiful campus and school spirit. I know polls like these are exciting when you're a student and also appeal to incoming students. So cheers to you partiers. Please have a drink for me at the Sink but do us all a favor and also do your homework!
