Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you?
ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 1 month agoWas a junior/senior in high school when that came out. Me and my dudes definitely wanted to be that guy that never graduated and lived on school grounds forever, without realizing how pathetic that life would be .

I’m British, and I’d say that this was probably my first time acknowledging what college is like in America. We can legally drink at 18, but we’ve usually got a year or so of drinking behind us already, so university for us is basically just studying between drinking sessions at a time when it’s legal (and encouraged).
Van Wilder seemed absolutely wild to me, especially the idea of dorms outside of a first year, and all the events that US colleges have for people. The basketball scene especially is wild, because university sports are (again) an excuse to drink with people that like playing basketball. It kinda seemed amazing to me, but yeah, being an older guy around students would be my idea of hell nowadays…
