Books, Togas, Pools and Bread Bowls

What did this weekend entail for typical college students at University of the Pacific? A plethora of activities, ranging from toga-wearing-dance-parties to homework cramming library sessions to sorority and fraternity initiations.  As a senior taking five courses I made an executive decision to stay in on Friday night despite the alluring sounds of a party just next door.  Saturday was spent in true California fashion; by the pool in September.  Pacific students lounged around, discussed the previous night and plans for the “Pike’s Endless Summer Toga and Highlighter Party.” This event encompassed all that his holy to college students; black lights, highlighters, loud music and togas.  I temporarily closed my books and joined the festivities. Sunday rolled around to the dismay of many and backpacks were unzipped once again, but not without the mandatory Sunday meal.  Everyone I know partakes in some form of a Sunday meal off campus.  Chucks Diner is always a popular choice; where you can get half a plate of hash browns and pancakes the size of your face for under $5. My friends and I chose Boudin’s.  A place famous for delicious bread bowls filled with chili.  It was a perfect ending to the weekend before entering the florescent world of the library. Oh college.
