CREEPERS!

I decided for this blog to talk about the men at the bars. Every time I go out to the bars I at least come across a creeper. Don't get me wrong there are some good looking guys at the bars, but I would say the creepers outweigh the good looking guys. I have heard some on the worse pick up lines ever! For example this guy comes up to me and says " Are you looking for something?" Me being confused I said "No, does it look like I'm looking for something?" And he then replied "Well everyone is looking for something in their life, so what are you looking for?" LAME!!!!!!!!!! I love when you get the guys that won't take no for an answer. They will come up and ask if you want to dance and you say no but then won't leave and then its gets to the point where's its pathetic because they are begging you. I almost just want to dance with them so they will shut up and leave me a lone. Ladies if you do ever come across this problem here are some lines that sometimes does work to get away from the creeper. If a creeper comes up and asks you dance you can say:

"I'm waiting for my boyfriend, he's in the bathroom"
"No thanks, I'm getting ready to leave."
"I'm a lesbian" ( but most guys when you say this are turn on instead of off).

If these don't work you could just say no and walk away. One time I had this creeper that I like to call the Orbiter. All night long he would circle around me and my friends. There have nights where creepers have ruined my night because they won't leave me alone!

First Weekend Back

Last weekend was pretty average because nothing was really going on, but me and my friends still made it fun. It was really nice out Friday so a bunch of my friends called asking if I wanted to go camping with them just in Giant City for the night. It was something different so I said yes. We got half way there and found out that some people were told we were not staying the night and just making a fire. This caused kind of a fight. Since some people didnt have anything to sleep on or didnt bring anything we couldnt go. After hours of debating what to do for the rest of the night, we finally just went back to the dorms, but me and a couple of my friends still wanted to go out so we found some house party and hung out there for a little bit. We then went to Gatsby's and it ended up being pretty fun. So the night wasn't a complete bust like we thought it was going to be. Saturday night wasn't too exciting. Again my friends and I just went to a house party on Cherry. Saw a lot of friends there so that was cool. It got boring there after awhile so we went to Callies for a little bit. We were all pretty tired and decided to call it a night. Hopefully this weekend will be a little more exciting!!

Update

Hello. I am writing this blog about last weekend. I would say that this past weekend was a pretty good one.

Although the night life was just as fun as it usual, the best part of the weekend was being able to do stuff outside. Throwing a frisbee around riding bikes, and just being outside was awesome.

I dont have to much to say about much else i did im just loving this weather

Last night in Canton

Tonight is Saturday. Well technically Sunday Morning. For the last night in Canton until summer, my friends and my self sat in a grocery store parking lot talking to one another through car windows. We then decided to compact our selves into one large vechicle and do the usual thing to do in Canton. Drive around aimlessly, and hope that someone calls with something to do. It didnt exactly work out, we drove to a local hang out spot nick named a hundred years. The two people in the front of the car put scarfs around their faces, and stared down the peopl in the trucks. We then did a uturn in the parking lot and left. The big trucks, all 4 wheel drive with lift kits, decided to chase us down, and follow us all over Canton. We tried to be sneaky and escape them, but they were relentless and chased us down. We even had some of the people in the car jump out and run away. They still followed. It was a fun time with some good friends. A decent way to leave and not see each other for months I guess. In Canton, you have to try and be creative to entertain your self. In Carbondale you pick up and phone, and theres someone to hang out with. Its nice to have good sober fun sometimes, but its also fun to be going crazy and living it up in CDALE! Well that is all form me for now. I hope this blog gives people more insite on what my home town is like.

Home Vs. Cdale

Logan Here. I am posting about my weekend I have spent at home. It has been very boring. There is nothing to do. I cant go to the bars with my friends, and there is no one to even hang out with. This is the main reason I wanted to go to Carbondale. Why work hard all week and not reward your self with a good time on the weekend? If I would have attended the community College in town I would have been bored all the time.

My weekends

A typical carbondale weekend isn't anything extravagant, rather its fraternity parties Apartment Parties the reuslt stays the same. The result is sheer repetiveness. The party life for me is the same. I hate when things are the same because they get boring. I'm trying to find new things to do but its still early in the semester. TTYL
PEACE AND LOVE

Logan

My name is Logan Zoiti I am a Freshman here at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. I am undecleared in my major, but I plan on majoring in either Hospitality and Tourism, or Marketing. I enjoy Carbondale alot, and my experiences that I have here. It is a good place to meet cool people and make long lasting friendships. On a typical weekend I will normally meet up with a group of friends, hang out for a while play some fun games, and then either go to a party, or go to the bars. I usually wake up wondering what I did the night before, but I always know I had a good time. 

Weekends!

I'm a sophomore here at Southern. This is my first semester here. Before I came here whenever I mentioned how I was going to going to Carbondale everyone would say " don't party too much." From years ago Carbondale has a bad reputation for partying. So when I first got down here I immediately wanted to go out a night in town and experience it for myself. You have to be 19 to get into the bars down here. Usually people dont start going to the bars until around 11. Bars close at 2. People usually "pregame" before they go out to the bars. Down here most people go to the "strip" which is just a street full of bars. Me and my roommates went to two different bars. The first bar is called gastby. It has I think two dance bars. I'm told thats where a lot of the sororitys go. The second bar was called Stix. It has a dance floor and a area for pool tables. It was a fun night. Carbondale night life is definitely crazy but not as bad as everyone says it is. There is definitely always something to do at night down here at Carbondale. Since then I have been out a few more times. Every year Carbondale has this drinking day Called Polar Bear. You can get beer for like a dollar and its called Polar beer because they keep the beer outside and it stays cold because it's cold outside. I didn't get to enjoy the whole day of Polar Bear because I was at worked all weekend. I do advise people to watch their belongs carefully or leave them at home b/c Polar Bear night I got my phone stolen!This last weekend was Unofficial which is where we celebrate St. Patricks Day! I went to Stix on Friday night. It was so crazy! Everyone was dressed up or wearing green. Everyone was just dancing and having a good time. I have seen Courtney and Logan at some of the same places that I have been at. The night life down here are very memorable.
