Tommy Hawke feels like he's on a tropical island vacation if it weren't for the blue sky, verdant lawns, tall palm trees, the stark yellow walls and red tiles standing in front of him, the distinctive Stanford University complex, and the occasional reminder of his college experience with parents and freshmen passing by.

"I remember telling Tony that the car he gave me lost momentum when he arrived in Glendale, Los Angeles, and that a kind parent of a student helped me tow it to Stanford, and that he had to continue his education in car repair." Tommy Hawker is talking to his dad on the phone in front of a phone booth:

"Where is the roommate? I live in the dormitory assigned to me by the school, not in a brothel, Dad, that's it, I'm going to start a rigorous school life, and I'll call you again when I have time, love you. ”

Hanging up the phone, Tommy walked towards the Hope student apartment behind him with his suitcase, according to the instructor's introduction, he lived in the E-66 dormitory, it was a double room, and his roommate was called Jason White, who had already finished reporting and was the first freshman to arrive.

It seemed that most of the new students in the Hppe apartment had not yet arrived, and there were not many students coming in and out, so Tommy walked to the door of his dormitory according to the house number and opened the door with the key he had received.

Then I saw a tall white young man with his back to him, his pants down, and a quick five-finger movement towards a magazine or pictorial spread out on his desk.

Hearing the knock on the door, the young man turned his head to look at Tommy, and said in an affectionate tone, "Tommy Hawk? I'm Jason, Jason White, Greenville, Mississili. ”

It's just that although he greeted Tommy affectionately, he didn't plan to stop moving.

"Hello, roommate, I'm Tommy Hawke from Warwick, Rhode Island, and honestly, I didn't expect to be honest with you so soon." Tommy pushed his suitcase towards his bedside and smiled.

"Ah~ah~ah~" After Jason finished his actions, he pulled a few tissues and dealt with the scene: "Things are not as you imagined, I am just preparing for the fraternity recruitment." ”

Tommy took out the cigarette case and handed it to the other party, Jason did not hesitate, took it and held it in his mouth skillfully.

"I've never heard of freshmen emptying tadpoles by themselves when recruiting new recruits at the fraternity, but I've heard a lot of freshmen fantasize about saying goodbye to virgins at recruiting night parties." Tommy lit a cigarette and said with a smile.

"First-generation college students?" Hearing Tommy's words, Jason looked at Tommy and laughed.

Tommy nodded, "Is it so obvious?" ”

"Of course, I'm the third Stanford student in the White family, and before me, an uncle and a cousin were all studying here and joined the fraternity, and once my cousin leaked his experience during the assessment period, and he was supposed to keep it a secret, but he accidentally got drunk and said it, so I know some secrets, such as the possibility that when you join the fraternity, you will be required to complete five tadpole launches in ten minutes." Jason sat back on his bed and pointed to the naked women's magazine on the desk, "So, do you need me to lend you the magazine so that you can exercise in advance?" ”

Tommy turned around and pulled open his backpack, took a vodka out of it and tossed it to Jason: "I think it's more reliable to work out than to birdie yourself until it smokes, and two drinks will make you unconscious, but you won't be favored by girls at the party." ”

"You got the wine? It's cool! Freshmen bought alcohol at school? Jason looked at the vodka in his hand in surprise and said, "It seems that this bottle of wine has made the status of the E-66 dormitory clear at a glance, and you are the boss." ”

Tommy sat on the bed and smiled: "I bought it when I passed through Nevada, where you can buy alcohol when you are 18 years old, and I drove myself to report it, so I bought some along the way." ”

"Wow." Jason got up and walked to his desk, picked up the globe on it, and looked at the map of the United States: "You drove from the East Coast all the way to here, crossing the United States?" ”

"Yes." Tommy finished cleaning up the bed and collapsed lazily on the bed: "As a roommate, I think a sincere conversation should start on the first day, so that if you find that you don't have the same interests and hobbies, you can change roommates in advance, so as not to upset each other." ”

"It's a good idea, and the purpose of coming to the university is, of course, to study, but ...... It's so hypocritical, well, mainly because of the hot girls, I didn't come to California to study for the California hot girls, did I want to die alone in the temple of knowledge? Jason wanted to pretend to be serious, but quickly gave up and said honestly.

Tommy Hawke nodded: "Good, I'm also for women." ”

"Do you want to aim for sleeping with more than five girls a week?" Jason asked, putting down the globe and going to his bed to lie down.

Tommy turned his face to look at his roommate and smiled: "Almost, about the same, I smoke and drink alcohol after studying, but I don't touch hemp and poison." ”

"Very good, it shows that our interests are exactly the same as our goals, I have no problem, as long as you don't insist on changing roommates because of my five-finger exercise just now, I think we can be great friends." Jason hugged the vodka in his hand and said, "Do you want to take you to the library, take a look around the flea market, and buy textbooks?" I'll give you some more secrets from me? For example, which courses are easy to get mixed up? This is news that ordinary freshmen will never get. ”

Tommy nodded: "Of course, in exchange, I can tell you a piece of news, the instructor said that the department has many orientation parties during the first week of school, and there is just one tonight, do you want to meet the adult party?" I heard that the party at Stanford University is notoriously hi. ”

Hearing Tommy talk about the adult party, Jason laughed knowingly: "Of course, let's go, let's go and help you get the textbook first, and then go to see the adult world at night, Boss." ”

……

Seven o'clock in the evening, Department of Computer Science, Stanford University.

"What the is what you call a fun grown-up party? Roommate? For this party, he deliberately shaved his beard, carefully groomed his hair with a comb and wax, changed into a suit, and Jason, who was holding the bottle of vodka, looked at the party scene with a dull expression, and asked Tommy, who was also a little dazed by the eyes next to him: "Are you sure you didn't take me to the wrong venue?" ”

In front of the two of them, dozens of college students gathered in the venue, decorated with various colors of welcome balloons, and the big "WELCOMES YOU" words and banners with the Department of Computer Science emblem hung above the venue reminded all visitors that this was indeed the venue for the welcome party.

A group of nerd-looking men and women are playing a brick game against the computers placed on the scene, and from time to time someone cheers, and a separate gladiatorial arena for robot battles has been opened next to it, and the two groups control their robots to fight each other on the field, and there are various free juices and snacks next to them.

Jason turned his head and looked at Tommy, "I now suspect that our interests and goals are not only at odds, but even our ability to understand is completely different, are you sure this is called hi?" To be honest, I'm already thinking about proposing to change roommates and suggesting that the teacher send you to the Stanford University Center for the Mentally Handicapped. ”

"I just heard that it was hi, but apparently the instructor said hi, not what I thought it was." Tommy said in a weak tone, "I'm a victim too, Jason. ”

Jason nodded: "Okay, let's unify the definition of adult party again, first of all, a girl dressed coolly." ”

"Secondly, unlimited drinks." Tommy said.

Jason said depressedly: "Very good, I'm very happy that the two of us still maintain the original intention of studying in college, what should we do next?" As far as I know, the recruitment parties of the major fraternities will not be held until all the freshmen have finished their reports, and it seems that the only option left for the two of us to go back to the dormitory and drink the bottle of wine by ourselves is left. ”

"The back-to-school weekend is the time for those fraternities to hold recruiting events, and it's only Monday, which means we have five days to have some fun." Tommy thought for a moment and said to Jason.

Jason looked at Tommy and then at himself: "What kind of fun?" We go back to our dorm to read a magazine and fill the bottle in four days? Obviously, the school's orientation party is this kind of virtue, and there is no need to have any expectations. ”

"You know a lot about the fraternity at Stanford?" Tommy looked at Jason.

Jason nodded: "Of course, the seventeen fraternities, the thirteen sororities are all well known, but I am not aware of the activities of those societies that are kept secret from non-members. ”

"Very well, you are in charge of compiling the secret information in your possession into a freshman manual, and I am in charge of selling it to the freshmen who are ready to join the fraternity, and then make the money to invite the girls to accompany us to the adult party." Tommy turned and walked out of the room:

"We may not be the two best academics among the freshmen, but we must be the first two freshmen to attract beautiful women."
