PASS ALONG FUN TO DO'S IN COLLEGE . . . . .hints for my "Grand's"

I probably don't have a clue about what's available for College Kid's to have a great time any longer but I do know somethings that we did back in the day and some things I'd like to do for my college "Grand's".  Going to dances every weekend on campus.  The ones put on by The Arizona Club were the most fun (but I love country-western dancing).  The kids were down to earth and fun to be around.   Bowling was fun as well.  A friend or my "roomie" would just show up to bowl and be paired with other's there for a good time when healthy competition broke out.  When the courts were cleared of snow we'd play tennis on neighborhood courts, park courts and sometime on campus if courts weren't booked by the "student tennis pro's" (we called them because they took the game way to seriously). Never missed a track meet, football game or basketball game.  Went to "the dollar's" up on campus to watch movies.  We took rides up into the canyons to enjoy the changing seasons because we didn't have them in our part of Arizona.  We took picnic's or things to have a good marshmellow roast for smoors or a "wennie-roast" for hotdogs, a bag of chips and a soda (easy and could happen in a heart beat) all we needed was someone with a car. We'd rent bicycles built for two, dress our "friend" alike and ride all over campus and on the unbusy streets.  We'd go study in the library and then head off with other's to have a "Blizzard" at the Dairy Queen just off campus.  If we had finished up classes for the day or were on longer breaks between classes we'd go to the cafeteria pick up a snack and sit and visit with everybody around us.  We'd sit out on beach towels in our burmuda shorts and light weight tops with a book, soda and a frisby and catch the first rays of spring either on the rooftops of our dorm or out on the lawn of our apt.  Ultimately we'd get caught up in an inpromptu game of frisby, volleyball, basketball or badmitton.  When my brother Tim got home from his Mission to Argentina my roomies and I would go camping  with he and some of his friends.  They'd set up, we helpless girls, tent and then go sleep out on the ground in their sleeping bags.  We woke up to snow covering the boys in their sleeping bags and a tent about to collapse on top of us.  (I guess I take after my Momma for this activity as I came across this picture of her on a campout, with friends, sleeping in her clothe for early morning fishing.)  One of my girlfriends was having trouble getting her boyfriends full attention and she was miserable.  He'd just drop in but she'd never know when and felt like he was taking her for granted.  So I went to the florest in town and picked up a long stemmed red rose and bud vase and delivered it to the apartment with a card that read "...from a secret admirer".  BOY, when her boyfriend dropped in that day and saw the rose he was sooooo jealous, he started treating her so much nicer after that.  One of my college "roomies" daughter has a blog I follow called "Modern Honey"  on it she put recipes that she's made up called "Better Than a Boyfriend Brownies" and "Would You Marry Me Chocolate Chip Cookies" and they got me to thinking about some of the funny things her mother and other college "roomies" pulled.  One of our "roomies" made up the frozen Rhoads Bread and took it pipeing hot down to her boyfriends apartment down the street.  (He didn't know she didn't make and bake her own bread until he married her.)  Another one of our "roomies", when it was her week to cook for our apartment, would fix us Peanut Butter Sandwiches and give us Cokes to wash them down  (to be honest I think that was my favorite week).The scrapbooking page above has some of my high school friends as well as my college friends.  When Robby took his oldest up to start college he took a picture of a page in the yearbook with me on it.   I got involved in a "Social Unit" callen Chi Triellas, "Sportswomen" and "The AZ Club", they were  fun ways to be apart of activities both on and off campus.  I'm going to make up the brownies and cookies and enclose the recipes for my college "Grand's" to have fun with.
