The first week I was in college I had no Friend . I move to shoal in Montreal , where the imbibition age was 18 , and there was a university - sanctioned and unco debauched introduction to campus spirit called “ Frosh Week ” where people got hammered , sang songs , and inevitably wound up at a full - contact strip social club call Supersexe .
I was really shy and homesick and I spent the week veil in my student residence and watching my roomie ’ Sex and the City videodisc while she went out and engender her piece of tail on amongst the boozed - up frosh .
thing got a flock well once my roommate locked me out of our elbow room one night so she could continue to make sexual practice with a dude whose LEGAL NAME was Kale . This was a crappy roomie move , but it forced me to socialize with a group of people hanging out in the hall . They did not shun me as I had fear , although they did make fun of my accent .
By the end of our first calendar month , I ’d wrangled a group of goofy friends and desolate my sadness - induced Carrie Bradshaw binges for nights playing pocket billiards at dirty dive bar across the street from our dorm .
One of those champion introduce me to Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes . This Emily Price Post is apropos of nothing dramatic- he did n’t die or anything , he ’s awake and well in Seoul , South Korea , operating a hot dog shop- but he send “ Do n’t Leave Me This agency ” on Facebook today and I had a pictorial flashback to being 18 and so happy to have friends and also so inebriated and attempting to dance on the streak to this call one already - inhuman October in Montreal .
