Day 4: Becky Plays Beer Pong With Her Boyfriend

Every day this week, we’re bringing you diaries from some of NYU’s shiny new freshmen. Click here to meet our diarists, read up on what you’ve missed so far, and check back on NYU Local every day for more insight.

10:00 AM - Wake up. Go back to sleep.

10:30 AM - Actually wake up. The boyfriend is coming to visit from Long Island today. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t waiting for this all week. Gotta get all purdy for loverboy.

11:12 AM - His train won’t be here until 1:34. Does this mean I have to actually do something until then?

11:42 AM - Neighbor comes in to talk about her evening. I’m dancing around in my huge tie dye dress. Greenwich Village holla.

12:56 AM - I should probably make my way to Penn soon. He doesn’t really understand subways or anything about the city and I’d be a bad girlfriend if I left him to figure it out himself. We’re in lurv.

1:33 PM - He got lost. I decide I’m walking to Penn so I can explore on the way there and kill some time.

2:04 PM - He’s here. Insert cheesy hug.

2:30 PM - Nick (he has a name!) comes and meets the roommates, sees the neighborhood, etc. This is my first time showing someone around. I feel like I know it better than I actually do. This comes back to bite me later.

4:00 PM - My friend from home comes by for a bit. We steal a sandwich in Kimmel and get a thin crust pizza. Just writing about it makes me want another. Have a friend eat their sandwich before you go on line. Two for the price of one!

5:34 PM - We meet up with the girls of the floor at Stand 4 for a milkshake. Nick and I shared the Apple Pie one…I highly recommend it. But get your own – sharing sucks, though it makes for nice pictures.

7:09 PM - Quality time with Nick. Okay, next time stamp.

8:25 PM - Meet up with brother on 2nd Ave and 7th Street at Sushi Park. Delicious and cheap sushi! He treats us to dinner. Family rocks.

8:58 PM - In the restaurant, this chick Michelle comes by to say hello. She goes to NYU! And she calls me “Safe Ride.” I guess there could be worse freshmen nicknames, like the kid down the hall who threw up from falafel the first night.

9:41 PM - My brother takes Nick and I to a party. I’m asked what I’d like to drink and I realize I don’t even know what I like besides wine. Freshman problems.

9:43 PM - A text is received along the lines of: “Vaporizer+Romney=?” It appears we will be watching the Republican Convention at his apartment while engaging in other activities.

10:03 PM - We’re hanging out on the roof and a blimp goes by. A fucking blimp. Bizarre.

10:47 PM - Romney speeches (and especially his audience) make for better entertainment than I thought.

11:30 PM - Losing at beer pong on the roof because we didn’t know how to account for the wind. Yeah, that’s why.

1:28 AM - Volcano & shots later, Nick insists we stop at a halal cart.

1:35 AM - Why did it take so long…

1:48 AM - Where the fuck am I?

2:00 AM - Why did you stop to get food?! NO, I don’t want a cab!

2:48 AM - We eventually find our way back and I am incredibly cranky and snappy because I don’t like navigating my first big night out. AKA while I’m drunk and safe ride won’t come get me in the middle of nowhere.

3:00 AM…ish - I pass out and Nick and I squeeze on the twin XL. I wish we had air conditioning. I wish I had energy to blog but I lack the words. I’ll do it early, though my current state of mind would make for an interesting story.

3:05 AM - Snore.

    Hahahaha. These are so entertaining Becks. Speaking of entertaining, I still have yet to take off to see you. Perhaps this Wednesday (day time). I’m rambling off on a comment box. A text is coming your way.
