America 1982

What comes into view is the blue sky, green lawns, and tall palm trees. If it weren't for the continuous yellow walls and red tiles standing in front of the sight, the distinctive Stanford University buildings, and the parents and freshmen passing by from time to time remind themselves. While in college, Tommy Hawke felt like he was on vacation on a tropical island.

"Remember to tell Tony for me that the car he gave me lost its power when we arrived in Glendale, Los Angeles. It was a kind-hearted student parent who helped me drag it to Stanford. His car repair skills need to be further improved. ." Tommy Hawke stood in front of the phone booth and was on the phone with his father:

"Whose girl is my roommate? I live in the dormitory assigned to me by the school, not in a brothel. Dad, that's it. I'm going to start a rigorous study life. I will call you again when I have time. I love you."

After hanging up the phone, Tommy carried his suitcase and walked towards the Hope student apartment behind him. According to the instructor's introduction, he lived in the E-66 dormitory, a double room, and his roommate was named Jason White. Reportedly, he was the first new student to arrive.

It seemed that most of the freshmen in HPe's apartment had not arrived yet, and there were not many students coming in and out. Tommy walked to his dormitory door according to the house number and opened the door with the key he received.

Then he saw a tall white young man with his back to him, facing a magazine or illustrated magazine spread out on the desk.

Hearing the knock on the door, the young man turned his head and glanced at Tommy, and said in a friendly tone: "Tommy Hawk? I am Jason, Jason White, Greenville, Mississippi."

It's just that although he greeted Tommy affectionately, he had no intention of stopping.

"Hello, roommate, I'm Tommy Hawke from Warwick, Rhode Island. To be honest, I didn't expect to be honest with you so soon." Tommy pushed the suitcase towards his bed and mouthed. Li laughed.

After Jason finished his action, he processed the scene: "Things are not as you imagined. I was just preparing for the brotherhood to recruit new people."

Tommy took out the cigarette case and handed one to the other party. Jason took it and held it in his mouth skillfully without hesitation.

"I've never heard of freshmen having to clear out their tadpoles before recruiting new fraternities, but I've heard that many freshmen fantasize about saying goodbye to their virginity at the recruiting night party." Tommy lit the cigarette and said with a smile.

"First-generation college student?" After hearing Tommy's words, Jason looked at Tommy and laughed.

Tommy nodded: "Is it so obvious?"

"Of course, I am the third Stanford student in the White family. Before me, an uncle and a cousin studied here and joined the fraternity. Once my cousin revealed his experience during the assessment period. He I was supposed to keep it a secret, but I accidentally told it while drunk, so I know some secrets. For example, when you join the fraternity, you will probably be asked to complete it five times in ten minutes." Jason sat back on his bed and pointed. Naked girl magazine on the desk: "So, do you want me to lend you the magazine so you can exercise in advance?"

Tommy turned around and opened his backpack, took out a bottle of vodka and threw it to Jason: "I think it's more reliable to train your drinking capacity. After two drinks, you will be unconscious, but you won't be favored by girls at the party."

"You got alcohol? That's so damn cool! Did the freshmen buy alcohol at school?" Jason looked at the vodka in his hand in surprise and said, "It seems like this bottle of wine has made the status of E-66 dormitory clear at a glance. You are the Boss."

Tommy sat on the bed and smiled: "I bought it when I was passing through Nevada, where you can buy alcohol if you are over 18 years old. I drove myself to report, so I bought some along the way."

"Wow." Jason stood up and walked to the desk, picked up the globe on it, and looked at the map of the United States: "You drove from the east coast to here and traveled across the United States?"

"Yes." Tommy finished tidying up the bed and fell lazily on the bed: "As a roommate, I think a sincere conversation should start on the first day. In this way, if we find that our interests and hobbies are not compatible, we can change roommates in advance. So as not to make each other unhappy.”

"This is a good suggestion. The purpose of coming to university is of course to study, but...this is really fucking hypocritical. Well, it's mainly because of the hot girls. I didn't come to California to study for the hot girls in California. Could it be that I came to California to die alone in the palace of knowledge? ?" Jason wanted to pretend to be serious, but quickly gave up and said frankly.

Tommy Hawke nodded: "Very good, I do it for women too."

"Is your weekly goal to sleep with more than five girls?" Jason put down the globe and walked to his bed to lie down and asked.

Tommy turned his face to look at his roommate and smiled: "It's almost the same, roughly the same. After studying, he smokes and drinks, but he doesn't touch marijuana or drugs."

"Very good, this shows that our interests and goals are completely consistent. I have no problem. As long as you don't insist on changing roommates because of my five-finger movement just now, I think we can become great friends." Jason held the vodka in his hand Said: "Would you like to take you to the library, visit the flea market, and buy textbooks? And give you some of my exclusive secrets? For example, which courses are easy to pass? This is information that ordinary freshmen will never get."

Tommy nodded: "Of course, in exchange, I can tell you the news I heard. The instructor said that the department has many orientation parties during the first week of school. There is one tonight. Do you want to go meet the adults? Party? I heard that Stanford University’s parties are famous for being fun.”

Hearing Tommy talk about adult parties, Jason laughed knowingly: "Of course, let's go, let's help you get the textbooks first, and then go see the adult world at night, Boss."

…

Seven o'clock in the evening, Department of Computer Science, Stanford University.

"Is this a fucking party for adults who have a lot of fun? Roommate?" He shaved off his beard specially for this party, carefully combed his hair with a comb and hair wax, put on a suit, and held the bottle in his arms Vodka's Jason looked at the party with a dull expression, and asked Tommy, who was also confused beside him, "Are you sure you didn't take me to the wrong venue?"

In the venue in front of the two of them, there were indeed dozens of college students gathered, decorated with various welcome balloons. A large banner with the words "WELCOMES YOU" and the computer science department emblem hanging above the venue reminded all guests that this was indeed a welcome party. of the venue.

A group of nerdy-looking men and women were having a brick-breaking competition against the computers placed on site. From time to time, someone cheered, and a separate arena for robot battles was opened next to it. The two groups controlled their robots to compete with each other on the field. Fighting, there are various free self-service juices and snacks next to it.

Jason turned his head and looked at Tommy: "I now suspect that our interests and goals are not only inconsistent, but even our understanding abilities are completely different. Are you sure this is called hi? To be honest, I am already thinking about changing roommates and suggesting that the teacher Send it to the Stanford Center for the Retarded."

"I just heard that it was very high, but obviously the instructor said it was not the high that I thought it was." Tommy said in a weak tone: "I am also a victim, Jason."

Jason nodded: "Okay, let's unify the definition of an adult party. First of all, girls wearing cool clothes."

"Secondly, unlimited drinks." Tommy said.

Jason said depressedly: "Very good, I'm very happy that the two of us still maintain our original intention of going to college. What should we do next? As far as I know, the recruitment parties of major fraternities will not be held until all freshmen have completed their reporting at the earliest. The meeting will be held, and it seems that the only option left is for the two of us to go back to the dormitory and drink this bottle of wine by ourselves."

"The weekend of the first week of school is when those fraternities hold recruitment activities. It's only Monday now, which means we have five days to have some fun." Tommy thought for a while and said to Jason.

Jason looked at Tommy and then at himself: "What kind of fun? We go back to the dormitory to read magazines, and then spend four days filling up this bottle? Obviously, the school's orientation parties are all about this kind of virtue, no need to Have no expectations.”

"Are you well aware of the fraternity situation at Stanford University?" Tommy looked at Jason.

Jason nodded: "Of course, I know all of the seventeen fraternities and thirteen sororities, but I have to declare in advance that I don't know the activities of those societies that are kept secret from non-members."

"Very good. You are responsible for compiling the secret information you have into a freshman handbook. I am responsible for selling it to the freshmen who are preparing to join the fraternity. Then with the money earned, we can invite the girls to accompany us to adult parties." Tommy turned around Walked out of the venue:

"We may not have the best academic performance among the freshmen, but we must be the first two to attract beautiful girls."
