Your content gives me the warmest nostalgia, I can’t describe it. There’s different emotions and levels to reflecting on the past. Your reflection is always done with good humor, authenticity, and appreciation. That’s what makes you one of the top nostalgia content creators IMO. It also helps being a fellow Midwest girl/ basic bitch millennial 😂
The dorm fridge full of knock-off Slim Fast that I drank as breakfast EVERY morning while reading through headlines on Yahoo! news on my hardwired laptop for my news reporting class quiz… You just brought 2005 screaming back into my head! 😅🥴🫣
I graduated college in the spring of 2021. The pregame and college parties seem very similar. Svedka was the drink of choice to be chased with some random juice that was bought from the campus convenience store with campus dollars. For me, it was always the Minute Maid pink lemonade. It would go from Wednesday to Saturday with fraternity/ sorority date nights/ formals, theme nights. On Wed, it was fishbowl Wednesdays at a college town bar that was notorious at taking fakes away, then Thursday was either date nights or bar nights, and Fridays/ Saturdays were either frat parties or house parties. These days, parties have been super restricted due to campus safety and alcohol safety issues but have mainly stayed the same just more lowkey. These days (was in a frat), we were obligated to only serve beer in cans that would have to be opened in front of the drinker and handed to them (though we still had jungle juice in our own rooms for our good friends/ girlfriends). After, we’d go to the same campus convenience store around midnight where you’d see everyone from all your classes and order mozz sticks, chicken tenders, and fries. The next morning, we’d wake up around 10-11 am, catch up on social media and post on Insta, and then get ready for the next night out. Scantrons are still very much a thing (at least pre Covid) though most of my classes had PowerPoint presentations.
Just discovered your channel, and this video gives me all the best flashbacks of my freshman year (also '05/'06). Hearing about the loft bed made me laugh. I was so bitter about getting stuck in a triple dorm room and ending up with the bottom bunk. If only I'd known how lucky I was. The next year I stayed in the same dorm but in a double room. We decided to bunk the beds, and I took the top. It was put together wrong, so I ended up being like 7ft off the ground, no railing to keep me from falling. With only a month before I moved out, I fell in my sleep and broke off the tip of my elbow. Just say no to lofted beds!
As a college student about to finish their freshman year, Thursday is a weekend too. Rip my Friday classes. Parties happen at the beginning of the school year, the end, and the star of the year… Halloween. I went to 7 parties Halloween weekend.
oh man I had completely blocked out great value slim fast and having to buy scantrons before a big test. No basements or snow where I went to school so all the beer pong was in the open air corridors of apartment complexes and there was always that one guy who had been in college for 8 years.
As someone who graduated high school 5 years after you, this all checks out still for the 2010 college experience, especially 2010-2012 for me. I did notice a shift after that but my college path was very inconsistent so that could be why 😂
You and I are the same age, but I did not go to college. Still, so much from is episode of so spot on and relatable to me. All of it is really. Love your content by the way
I’m a college senior but bc I commute and have my own apt the only parties I have gone to were really low key bc most of my friends are commuters too. Also COVID knocked a lot of the parties out for a solid 2 years.
It’s so true! We did party so dang hard and could be so sloppy lmao. So funny. And it truly does feel like another lifetime, but it’s a fair feeling because the world is literally SO much different today. Soffe shorts, Scantrons, and Trash can punch omg yes lol.
College parties today are VERY Greek life based. U go to a frat house and mingle with guys and get drunk and smoke with strangers. When I go I like to get a huge bottle of new Amsterdam and let anyone have a shot.. waterfall ofc. The sorority girls get pretty catty tho if u arnt in one… they see u as a threat. That shit makes my ego go craaazzzyyy. Idk how dorm life goes because I’ve lived in this city my whole life and live off campus. But me and my friends usually meet at one of our houses and get ready and drink at the house and otw there too. With a designated driver. Usually one of their bfs.
ALWAYS BEER PONG THO. so fun but I’m not the best it’s kinda humiliating. Never had trash can punch sounds horrendous. We do the thing where u chug the keg while the brothers hold up ur legs
Can attest to the toilet drop 😳. I, however, went to school in the city so it was my flip phone in the bathroom of the Matrix (clubbing 😂) and my bff was the mvp and grabbed it out like she was plying beer pong and the ball was almost touching but not quite in the beer 🤣
I was born in early 2005, and I love watching your shorts and videos it feels so nostalgic to me since I experienced some of the 2000s as a toddler.

You paint such vivid pictures with your descriptions, love your podcast!

I'm a junior in college and wish I could have experienced college in the 2000s! Your content takes me to a time I never got to experience :)

This nostalgia is immaculate, I was an '04 highschool grad and I love this!
Another great episode! I'd love to hear one on college dating life. This was right before dating apps became popular

Chicka, i will be taking my midterms on a paper scantron with a #2 pencil this Wednesday in 2023. Welcome to broke community college life lol
I thought power bars were healthy, but they definitely made gain weight.
How did you change your sheets in that bed situation? 🤣
That’s a great question - I actually have no idea 😅
Sounds fun
And you wouldn’t take your makeup off after partying all night 😂
Hi
