Many of us have been to a Great
Hall party at least once or twice here
at Carolina. Schools from all over
know about Great Hall parties. Faces
from Central, Duke, A&T, UNC-G
and even State come to get their party
on.
Up until this year the parties have
been off the hook. But then something
happened.
Let's see. . . you just bought a hot
new outfit that'll make everybody
turn their heads, you think about how
you're going wear it tonight to the
Great Hall party because you know
that everyone is going be there. So,
you're finally dressed and ready to hit
the floor. It's 10:45 p.m., a perfect time
to make an entrance. You roll up to the door. From out
side you can even hear the music bumpin', you know
it'll be tight. "Get Cnmked Up" echoes through your
head as you wait in line w'ith your ID and your ticket.
As you strut through the doors making your way in,
all eyes fall on you ... all 20 people in there, that is.
Hold up! This is a Great Hall party? I see the Great
Hall, but w'here's the party? And w-here are all the peo
ple?
To make sense of things you wait to see if more peo
ple are coming. The only problem is that more people
don't show’ up. Perhaps it's because it's w'intertime and
Check Out the
people are still hibernatmg. Or maybe it's because they
play the same songs over at least four or five times
throughout the night. Seeing the same people every
time doesn't exactly add to the entertaining thought
that you'll meet someone new and exciting.
What about the dances? I mean the only new dance
out there is the "Cha Cha Slide," and that's not cute at
all. Or maybe it’s simply the fact that everybody has
realized that they have to hit the books harder after last
semester's grades. Whatever it is, it'll pass. Don't hate
on the parties just yet. As soon as spring rolls around,
everyone will come out of hiding, and the parties will
come back from the dead like whoa!
