The Princeton Review's list for "Top Party Schools" just recently came out and with no disrespect to the schools on that list, I think many of us can agree -- the people who wrote that list seem to be a little confused on what it means to be a legit "Party School." So let's decide this issue ourselves.

Have you experienced that one night that you and your friends swore you would never speak of again? Would you be sent to rehab or maybe even jail if your parents found out how you "do college?" Do you often realize you can't recall an exact timeline of your wild weekend or really any night for that matter? While all colleges "party," only some have stepped up and earned the title of being a "Party School."

Sure, we are all here to get fancy degrees so we can earn tons of money and obviously become the CEO of a major industry or something...but college is much MUCH more than classes and GPAs. It's the time of your life. A place you should never want to leave. A place where it's completely acceptable to be drunk 24/7 and still be considered appropriate for public interaction pretty much anywhere. Because after all, nobody looks back at their life and remembers the nights they stayed in watching Netflix with their pillow pet.

1. You don't see a problem with going out more than four times a week.

2. You never have to worry if people will show up. If there is a party, the people will come.

3. How you keep track of what day it is: Messed-Up Monday, Tequila Tuesday, Wine Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday, F****d-Up Friday, Shwasted-Faced Saturday, Sunday Funday. 

4. Plastic. Vodka. Always and Forever.

5. An ambulance siren can be heard from the campus at least once a day.

6. You're school has been on international news in some random country for its insane ragers.

7. Restaurants around campus stay open 24 hours because they know that the drunk business is where all the money is made.

8. The professors completely understand and accept why some fridays, only 10 people out of an 800 person lecture show up.

9. You burn couches for any celebratory occasion, even if it's just because you have an old couch and fire is cool.

10. The college's confessions page could be turned into a best selling novel.

11. Your average BAC says you should be on the brink of death, but you're still going strong.

12. Little idiots from your home town suddenly befriend you and ask to come to your school’s major partying holidays (no, you can't stay with me).

13. Sundays = recovery day from a week of severe intoxication/rallying for next week’s shenanigans (they suck because you have to deal with everything you ignored, yet they also hold all the hope and excitement of the new week).

14. You fear for your friends' lives when they decide to visit.

15. Elevated surfaces are necessities.

16. When you go to parties at other colleges, you're surprised to find out that the cute little kickback you went to last night was considered a “rager” by all the students there.

17. You gain instant respect from your generation when you announce which college you go to.

18. You lose instant respect from older generations when you announce which college you go to.

19. Alumni weekend is an even bigger turn up than game days (All hail those who successfully made it to the real world without checking into rehab).

20. Your four years at college are more of an endless, all inclusive spring break -- courtesy of your parents.

21. You don't understand how to only be mildly drunk -- its go big or go home.

22. You and your friends have learned the art to dealing with blacked out and extremely stubborn people.

23. Pictures are mostly used to put the pieces of the night back together.

24. You take drinking games almost as seriously as division one sports. It's for honor and bragging rights.

25. You know the definition between the regular police and the riot police without hesitation. #turndownforswat

26. You will never know every single person at a party and there's a certain beauty to that.

27. Balconies are always in danger of collapsing.

28. The freshman fifteen isn't from food, it's from excessive alcohol consumption.

29. If there's one place you would be okay with leaving your school for, it's Cabo for spring break.

30. You plan your spring quarter class schedule around all of the festival weekends.

31. The winter partying attire is still "as minimal clothing as possible," even if you have to hide a jacket in the bushes.

32. The swat team and other extreme forces are needed to break up major partying holidays.

33. Your friends are genuinely surprised when you say no to going to a party.

34. Dressing for a theme at the last minute is second nature to you.

35. You can also get ready in 10 minutes and still look decently good.

36. Going out the night before a midterm is never frowned upon. 

37. People think you are lying or exaggerating when you tell the story of your wildest night.

38. Getting drunk is the answer for everything: Lost the game? Let's get drunk. Won the game? Let's get drunk. Failed the final? Let's get drunk. Aced the final? Let's get drunk. It's Tuesday? Let's get drunk.

39. "You can retake the class, but you can never relive the party," is the number one piece of advice given by the seniors.

40. You are constantly challenged to drinking competitions by others.

41. Laughing out loud when you realize the definition of binge drinking is "four or more drinks in two hours."

42. Graduation and the real world scares you to no end. Not because you are afraid of failing, but because saying goodbye to your beloved school is one of the most painful and agonizing things you can think of. It's where the party stops. The final Sunday.
