p All DENTS DlS WERED LONG DAYS AND LONGER NIGHTS Night Corvallis night life? Isn't that an oxymoron? The answer is no! Corvallis may be a small town, but students figured out how to make the best of it. Putting their creativity and inventiveness to work students came up with some pretty outrageous things to fill their nights. The weekend began with Thirsty Thursday when students hit the bars downtown. A popular starting place seemed to be J.C s Pizza. With seating and cheep pitchers it made a mellow start to the evening. It was common for students to work their way around the local establishments, and then end up dancing until closing at the Peacock. Once Friday rolled around students threw their own parties. Some chose to go to functions, and others to independent parties. The tale-tell sign of a great party was either very loud music with people milling everywhere, or a house with a couple of police cars out front asking that the noise be kept down. I love going to random parties and just talking with people I've never met. It's a great way to expand your circle of friends offered a junior in the College of Business. Among some of the popular trends were parties with themes. The most common being era parties such as 70's or 80's themes. Beyond that holidays ranked at the top for themes. For the most part OSU students didn't need a theme or a reason to party; they needed a night and some people, and they were set. aking safety precautions , Justin Yoshida. a junior in engineering, cooks for some friends.
