Homecoming Take 2

This past Saturday was Winona State University's Homecoming and boy was it a good one. The day started out rather early since I took my friend back to her apartment at about 7:30 so she could get ready for cheerleading. By 8:30 am her neighbor's music was already pounding and you could tell the party had begun. We headed to the annual parade that goes down Huff Street and shows off all of the cool things going on at WSU. My personal favorite part was the fact that a guy with an adorable dog stood behind us so we got to play with him a little bit but I think the guys enjoyed the Hip Hop team as they did the wobble in skimpy leggings.... No surprise there. After only a few shenanigans and some great pictures we headed to McD's, the ultimate place to eat when hungover (not for me sillies, the others were hungover, I was just hungry).

When we finally got back to the apartment the parties and pre-gaming were in full swing. There was a case of beer on the counter that I'm pretty sure didn't even last 2 hours before it was gone. We hurried over to the football field an hour early and ended up getting center field, front row spots and cheered our hearts out! We cheered on Lindzey as she cheered with the cheerleaders and screamed and screamed at those football players. Unfortunately, it started raining at halftime so after watching the cheerleader/dance team performance, we were outta there. Little did we know that we would get back to a shock.

It turns out that the deck on Lindzey's neighboring apartment collapsed just before the game began. These were the same people that started drinking at 8:30 in the morning. Apparently there was about 8 people on the actual deck and like 3 to each step going down. Eight people were admitted to the hospital and it even got on the news all the way in Rochester. Basically, it was a HUGE deal. That didn't stop the party tho, the people directly below and around them continued into the wee hours of the night.

It was a blast to watch all the crazy drinking games and drunks stumble around. It's crazy to think the party in Lindzey's apartment lasted until at least 3 am after an entire day of drinking. I'm proud of those I partied with.

Here's to hoping not too many people got minors and no one was hurt. I hope everyone had a kick ass homecoming! Needless to say, I'll definitely come back to visit during homecoming next year!
