Funny Things Overheard On UGA's Campus This Week: Showercap Edition

Peyton Winters - Shower Cap 2016

We're approaching the midpoint of April, which means day party (darty) season is in full force right now. This past weekend the most well-known spring party, Showercap, took place. The grass of the SAE lawn was barely visible because of the thousands of people in attendance. With so many people around to talk to, there was bound to be some interesting conversations taking place. Here's a few that made it back to me.

1. "Girls shower in water hot enough to melt steel beams, which honestly makes a lot of sense."

2. "My goal today is to NOT smoke a cig."

3. "The name 'Showercap' derived from back in the day when girls would wear those huge, derby-style hats to Derby Days. The SAEs thought it was hilarious and the name was born."

4. "My Tupperware game is ridiculous."

5. "If you think about it, babysitting is a black market job."

6. "We brought popcorn in case we get hungry. Hopefully there's a microwave here somewhere."

7. "Why would you not carry around pepper-spray? You're blonde. You'll be the first target."

8. "Hanging out on a lawn with a bunch of people I don't know has been more of a riveting experience than I expected."

9. "I hugged my crush, I can go home now."

10. "I can't wait to get home and put on a cardigan."

11. "Someone handed me a bag of condoms in Tate the other day and I took it because I thought they were chocolates."

12. "You can't go into this expecting to find a certain person. You have to let the Showercap gods decide who you're going to see and who you won't."

13. "Apparently, my ex blocked me on LinkedIn."

14. "If any of us get separated, just go to the Chick-Fil-A truck. Probably at least one of us will be there."

15. "I should've worn an actual shower cap honestly. I'm short, when drinks get spilled near me they always end up in my hair."

16. "It doesn't matter how drunk I am, you're responsible for making sure I am at DJRX by midnight.

17. "Every guy from my past, present, and future is here and I managed to run into every single one of them."

18. "I don't believe in the concept of childhood."

19. "We couldn't sleep last night because the apartment below us was blasting 'Bad Day' by Daniel Powter."

20. "This is arguably the most Instagramable day of the year. Have you seen the lighting? Everyone looks so good."

Xoxo,

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."
