Do all Colleges have end of Semester and Christmas parties?
We are allowed to bring food, order a pizza or bring beer or wine to the end of semester class parties. So far 2 of my Professors are having them and I am begging the other two but I don't think that they will go for it.

Are parties the norm at the end of the semester? It's kind of a Christmas/Hanukkah and Kwanzaa party combined with the end of the Semester. :party:

1. yeah, we call it blowout at W&M
last day of classes. drinking begins as soon as you wake up. Seniors toast the buildings they lived in or had a major in. Seniors ring the bell at the Wren building. Chaos until about 3pm, when the entire campus goes to sleep in a drunken stupor. Wake up and rally at about 8.

For Crimmus, we have a Yule log ceremony. Hillel explains Hanukkah. Delta Sigma Theta does a Kwanzaa celebration thingy. The vice-pres of the school and reads "Twas the night before finals." The president comes out sloshed, dressed as Santa and reads "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Everyone takes a holly spring and casts it into the yule log fire and it symbolizes burning away the worries of the past year. By far, my favorite event on campus all year.
