Four years at Fairfield will teach you a lot of things. It’ll teach you a strong work ethic and Jesuit values. It will also teach you how to be a functional human being in the social environment that is college and beyond. So when asked, ‘Would you rather?’ at a late night drinking game, you’ll have all the right answers.
Go on a blind date or be a third wheel…
Hypothetically, if someone asked you if you’d rather go on a blind date or be a third wheel, what would you say? Though my last blind date was more than regrettable, I’d have to choose a but-her-face over being a third wheel any day.
Skybox or the Grape…
Another such antinomy asks which Fairfield bar is superior: Skybox or the Grape. Though I’m sure many will disagree with me, I believe the Seagrape to be highly overrated. Mind you, this decision is made entirely a priori; I’ve never been to the Grape. It’s not out of some idealistic principle, I think the Point’s beach residents would shank me upon my arrival as result of a certain debacle last semester.
Besides, Skybox is a chill spot. It sports a walk-flat view of Post Road, complete with ample flat screens, a pool table, dartboards, some sweet lounge chairs and tasty burritos. What more could a guy want? Oh, yes, alcohol. Well, they have that, too.
Drink beer or liquor…
The third metaphysical dilemma as far as choice of drink is concerned really depends on the tone of the evening. On nights when all we want to do is get obliterated, liquor is a much quicker and efficient killer. But when all you crave is a night of Beer Pong and Flip Cup, a 30 of Coors Light satisfies. Good beer is better reserved for relaxing lazy summer days.
Speaking of summer, I should probably make it down to the Beach as soon as the weather gets nice so I can ask She Said a few more Would-You-Rathers? that some may find a little too offensive.
