Purple Snot.

One thing that never changes about college is that something crazy & ridiculous will bring all types of people together.

 

The Chalk Dance.

This is a iconic landmark in the college year

because it is usually the first dance,

sure the institute puts on a little shin-dig but in all honesty, we usually only go for the food.

Dances put on by the school are just a little more fun.

 

This year was insane.

White shirts all around.

Bags of chalk ready for throwing.

We were dancing like crazy people.

 

When the chalk was thrown no one could be seen.

No one could breathe.

Everything was quite literally a blur.

 

Now,

other than that nothing really happened at the dance.

But what followed was hilarious.

 

We got home all at different times.

separation happens when everyone looks like a smurf.

if you didn't already know that...

We had to shower but pictures had to be taken first,

because apparently moments like this need to be documented.

 

 

We did not realize that the longer this chalk was on you the worse it stained you skin & hair.

We thought it was the same chalk used at the chalk festival,

it was definitely not.

it was a cheap knock-off brand that lasts for days.

 

We were just about to find this little fact out for ourselves though.

 

After pictures were taken & chatting had stopped we all went on our merry way to showering.

All 6 girls in our apartment went to this dance & after 2 had showered all the hot water was gone & they were still purple.

 

This caused a problem because 4 of us were still letting the chalk sit on our skin.

This made us resort to showering at the neighbors.

The boys in that apartment were kind enough to let us in.

To use less water we thought it would be best if a "team shower" would take place.

So, we hoped into the shower fully clothed.

& began washing off our selves & each other.

 

After about 15 minutes there was no hope.

No matter how much body wash & scrubbing we did we were permanently stained.

 We walked down the stairs dripping multi-colored water,

looking like Ursula herself,

with all the boys sitting on the couch laughing hysterically at the sight we were.

 

We went home & there was no improvement for them either.

 

After another 3 hours there was finally some normal coloring coming back to our faces.

that was all we needed though right,

normal face color??

because you can cover the rest of your body with clothes,

even though its early September...

winter preparation is always in need,

especially in Utah.

 

We tried to continue in the late hours of the night,

but exhaustion had taken its course on our bodies...

One last wash in the sinks & we were off to bed.

 

The next morning everyone still had purple  necks, hands & armpits.

But the hair was fine other than Ethel Ray, who originally had blonde hair but now was styling a new shade of blueish-purple with a hit of green.

 

We all embraced it.

& so did the rest of the school.

 

Lets just say you could tell who liked to have fun & who didn't due to the color of their hair & skin.
Also by how much they were wearing.

 

We are individualist, we do what we want.
