Well I'm glad you're attending Oberlin, but here's my two cents:
I've never been to a party. I never plan to go to a party. I know exactly what you mean about the quieter, subtler kind of quirky that you are - that's me, as well. I also host prospies, though, and I'm always terrified that they'll think I'm a square and think there's nothing at Oberlin to do, because my idea of socialising is sitting and talking with a couple of people, or maybe going to a performance. Usually hosts find things to do that they wouldn't be doing normally to entertain prospies
. I definitely do that.
