By this time, her roommate Lynn and hallmate Barbara had joined the party. but the cacophony continued until she finally came to the front door and let me in. so I started singing! It couldn't have been good! My friend Cindy opened her window and kept telling me to shut up. (Most of the dorms had gone co-ed the year before, but there were still 2 all girls dorms, and they were locked at night.) It was bitterly cold out by now - though I wasn't feeling much pain to be honest - and I wanted to get inside. I am pretty sure I wouldn't have been able to walk it by then) and standing in front of a friend's window in the girls' dorm! My male friends who had taken me out that night had apparently abandoned me at some point. I know, big surprise there! However, the next thing that I knew, I was back on campus (I have absolutely no idea how I managed to get up that steep hill. I'll be honest, my memory of most of that night is a bit sketchy.
(Was not a big fan of beer.) We visited places with names like P&G's, The Homestead, and other college town bar names. most likely an apricot sour which was what I mostly drank during my college days.
My friends saw to it that my hand always had a drink in it. None of us had ever heard the phrase "bar crawl" and I am not even sure that it had been coined yet, but that is what we did that night. It was a bitter cold winter night as we walked down the hill from campus to town, arriving at P&G's, the first stop of the night. On the night of my 18th birthday, my friends saw to it that I did! You could roll down Main Street and go from one to the next - and many did. The college was located in a small farming community in the Mid-Hudson Valley, and like any college town, had it share of bars. However, on FebruI turned 18 and was about to take part in a very traditional rite of passage. not that it stopped me from having a drink or two when I first arrived. I was 17 - younger than most - when I entered college in September of 1970. and that college was 90 miles north of NYC where I lived/live. (It was later raised to 21 where it stands now.) My 18th birthday came while I was in college. The legal drinking age in New York State at the time was 18. My mom, however, would get an alcoholic beverage at these affairs, and even introduced me to the joys of gin and tonic on a hot summer afternoon when offered by a neighbor. Even at weddings and Bar Mitzvahs, my dad would prefer a soft drink. It's not that we had any issues regarding alcohol, but it just wasn't something that was part of our every day lives. You need to know that I come from a family that generally doesn't drink. Each week on her website Life and Other Crises, she relates one of her firsts.
