Beer Pong, The American College Game

Beer pong (also called Beirut, Ruit, Lob pong and other names) is a drinking game in which players throw a ping pong ball across a table with the intent of landing the ball in one of several cups of beer on the other end. The game typically consists of two two-player teams, one on each side of a table, and a number of cups set up on each side. There are no official rules, so rules may vary widely, though usually there are six, ten or 15 plastic cups arranged in a triangle on each side. The number of players on a team can vary as well, from one to three or more.

When a ball lands in a cup, the defending team must consume that cup's beer. The game is won by eliminating all the other team's cups before one's own cups are eliminated. The losing team must then consume all the beer remaining in the winning team's cups. The order of play varies – both players on one team shoot followed by both players on the other team, or players on opposite teams can alternate back and forth.

Today, beer pong is played at a multitude of North American colleges and universities and elsewhere. The game is also played by high school students, despite the fact that furnishing alcohol to persons under the age of 21 is illegal in the United States.

Although the preceding guidelines are common, the rules may be subject to a wide variety of modifications and additions that often vary based on the area of the country, the state, or even the house in which a particular game is played.

The Love for Keystone Begins

When I see that blue and silver can with the words "Keystone Light" written across it. I get the chills because it has done my life wonders. It is by far the most drank alcoholic beverage for college students because of its affordability and quantity. It is a great accommodation for "beer pong", the great American college game.

Well I have fallen in love with this beer, I get as many cases as I can now a days and it is costin me a fortune but who the fuck cares it makes me feel so awesome. So It begin on Mardi Gras I drank with some friends of my roommate than play beer pong at a secret location, can't say cuz it's not a place where we should be playin it. So i was drunk that night and everynight till Sunday, 5 days of drinkin...yea 2 some that is probably pussy status, only 5 days but come on I barely started enjoying the great wonders of Keystone.

Well every fuckin day I felt like shit until every night I felt like a million bucks. I have met so many people these past few days than I had my whole entire 1st semester and I also strengthened some friendships that I had 1st semester. Friday night and Saturday nights were the highlights of my week...ordering 300 tacos at del mar and gettin kicked out of a party as soon as we walked n were fuckin awesome times. Being drunk b4 9 on a Saturday and jus hangin out with my new buds was great. I can't wait for this weekend. Hopefully the fun starts 2morrow night, which I'm countin on.

Oh...and my grades r not doin so well. The first exam I took was 4 logic and I got a 3.7 out of 10 on it...yea i no im fuckin up and I have missed 3 straight Math classes and I should b studyin 4 my econ exam 2morrow but I jus don't want 2 make my brain work right now. I know college is a place that will make me successful, i jus don't no how 2 motivate myself. I'll try my best but I'm not going 2 give up fun for the sake of gettin good grades!!

A Goal I Can't Keep

So I told myself that I was going to do really good in school this semester after almost failing my first. I even gave my self a goal that I thought I would be able to keep, which was no alcohol during the weekdays since I have a class that starts at 10:30 in the morning Monday to Friday. At first I thought I would be able to do it because I didn't go out and drink 4 a full week but then the 1st weekend after classes started I went out and got drunk and it was awesome. Better than I remember, it took all my stresses and worries away for that short time and I was havin a great time meetin new people and playin drinkin games. I thought to myself now this is college. I stuck to my goal tho I didn't drink durin the week but I still decided to b a dumbass and not get up 2 go 2 class. Mardi Gras week destroyed my goal and fuckin screwed me up n school.

College Begins

I began college on a really sour note. My papa, who was like a dad to me died, a couple weeks b4 i started school, but the worst part about it was that it didn't seem to mean anything to me. It was as if i was numb and all i cared about was myself. I didn't even want to go to California for his funeral because I didn't want to be late to check-in to my dorm. I felt like a piece of shit for thinkin this way and i still do its so hard to realize that the man that taught me so much is no longer living...he will never see me graduate college and raise a family...but life goes on. So i made it in time 2 check in and meet my new roommates. The first guy I met was Trevor (Tee). I picked the bed on his side. The next guy i met was Harrison (Harry). He slept on the other side and the last guy I met was at night when I walked in to my dorm this dude Daniel (Dan) came up and introduced himself. He was a track star from Nevada and would be playin for the BSU track team. At first i was like he's a jock, i am not goin to be really good friends with this dude but lone and behold he became one of closest friends I've ever had. Well more about him later. So my first few weeks of college were good jus going to school and hangin out with my roommates. I went to class everyday and it seemed like it was going to b a breeze.
