There is a house on campus that is occupied by 13 guys.
They are Campus Safety's favorite people.
That is a false statement.
Tonight, they had their annual Benton House Root Beer Keg Party.
Yep, you read that correctly. A real keg filled with root beer.
"What? It's not real beer? Why even stay?"
For the fun. Duh.
I have been invited every year that I've been at Bethel, but haven't gone.
Until this year. I figured it was about time to have some fun.
So, after we beat Grace in soccer (holla!), Casey and I headed over to the party.
Good life choice.
It was like any college party, I suppose.
Except for the total lack of alcohol.
And it was super fun.
After a while, we went up to the roof, which was a terrifying process for me as I have zero fence climbing skills.
Those on the ground chose that time to begin a marshmallow war.
We were defenseless and without ammo, so we caught what we could and threw them back.
Straight up chaos.
After the madness had died down a bit, we climbed down and sat around the fire pits.
A lot of people had left by this time, and about half of those who were still there lived in the house.
Stuff was burned, including a couple hands.
It got to be 12:15 and I realized that I was the only female still around.
And water balloons were starting to be thrown.
So I left.
But I had a fantastic evening.
I finally felt like I was doing something that upperclassmen do.
And I now really wish I had attempted a keg stand, even though it probably would have been a completely humiliating experience.
