That is a bit like one of my high school classmates... except he also had terrible grades and did some major property damage, so UMass just threw him out permanently. He was allowed to go to a state college.

That was over 25 years ago when UMass Amherst was still earning a spot on some annual "top 10 party schools in the US" lists.

my school used orange juice concentrate -- that shit was really good at hiding the taste of alcohol

That's what Elaine said too.....at first.

Pretty close to the same in our city. My animal control told me to call anytime it was an issue, leave a message. That way, he could build a record of repeated offenses, while issuing warnings in between.

I had a friend who graduated from Umass Amherst, but mid way through got so hopped up on drugs and alcohol that he assaulted several people outside at an event including a campus cop who was trying to get him under control, got arrested (obv) and kicked out of campus housing and ended up in court-ordered rehab before he got his shit back together. They still let him finish his degree and attend classes but he had to live off campus.

I called the police on my neighbor’s dog that he left out to bark all day long day after day. The first time is a warning. Fine each time after that. Never heard the dog again.

Someone I know worked very hard her freshman year to get accepted into the honors program there. Why? Not because she was especially interested in the honors program, but it guaranteed she could move from the towers to different dorm housing.

She said, after the first couple months, despite being on the 5th of 6th floor (I forget which one) she started using the stairs a lot because the the horrible vomit smell in all the elevators, esp Fri-Sun, was too gross to deal with.

The good thing about getting in touch with Animal Control is that the complaints are usually anonymous. The just let them know that there was a complaint and that they are violating town bylaws. Prevents unpleasantness and retaliation if that's a concern.

We have TONS of dogs in our neighborhood (including my two) and they all bark occasionally. Only one guy ever lets his dogs bark for longer than a few minutes (sometimes up to an hour), it doesn't bother me so much as I can hardly hear them but my dogs will get agitated if they're going crazy outside so I have to bring them right back in. It can be frustrating for sure. They've been a bit better lately and I think one of my neighbors might have escalated the situation to the town.

My 19th birthday I played “beer” pong with vodka and red Gatorade.

I’m cool with all of it because we’re the only ones labeled as smart. That’s all.

They are safer than communal jungle juice (from a roofie standpoint). Plus, people usually add liquid IV to keep hydrated!

Family that went to UMass in the 60s describes it exactly the same way when I was a kid.

Oh how I’ve just WISHED for a skunk to waddle on in. Glad there’s like minded people here 😂. If I had the balls to yeet I would. I do not. We all have fences and none of the dogs can see each other, sometimes I feel like if they could see each other they’d freak out less. We will never know.

This is Umass Amhearst. Its the only major

Right? College kids been doing this forever. We would get the big Gatorades and do 1/3 Gatorade 1/3 vodka 1/3 Rockstar

This was before the moved up to the BCS subdivision, a mistake if you ask me

It's a very desirable posting like the Eagle in the coast guard but the biggest perk is the uniform with those epaulettes and the hat.

The petty answer for he door being open... Go buy mice or rats and just yeet them in there. Or maybe capture a squirrel and chuck him inside even if her dog gets them she'll close the door after finding the bodies.

Non petty option. Put a 6 ft wood security fence up so her dogs can't see if yours are outside. If you and the back neighbor do it then you just need neighbor number 3 to box her in

Yessss! Also, happy cake day!

Yeah we made the same shit at Syracuse. Can't remember what we called it tho. Probably because I drank too much of it...

Have you been to a non community college? What you described is par for the course at college, big or small

UMass football winning a game? That is not a typical day. Even with free tickets everyone knows the tailgate is the primary event

Play loud music back at her to keep her up

Because they're a publicly funded gang.
