For a campus that parties at least twice a week (usually more), Wittenberg students sure do treat every weekend and Wednesday like it's something special. Obviously there's something at these house parties and McMurray's that keeps bringing kids back like a religious beacon. As to what exactly that is, I have no idea.
Being a Junior, I can't exactly say that I've never hit up the party scene before. I've been to frat parties, house parties, closed parties, open parties, you name it. I've even managed to squeeze myself onto the McMurray's dance floor a couple of times. But even so, I've yet to see what makes going out every weekend and Wednesday so desirable that some students can't think to talk of anything else.
No matter where you turn at Witt, somebody is talking about their weekend or how drunk they got the other night. If Wittenberg had its own economy, it'd probably be based on Natty Light and slurring, stumbling jocks. Even Mondays can become a party night on this campus and it seems like a decent amount of students have tried to make it work.
Regardless, by the first semester of my sophomore year, I was rather bored of on-campus parties. I've only been to one this semester so far, and with the colder weather coming through, I can't say that I'll be tempted to go to another. But I'm more than willing to let every other 'party-hardy' college kid go in my stead.
