UConn's Spring Weekend is officially dead

I could not be more pleased with the college i chose to attend, but recent activities around campus (or should i say lack of activities) has really prompted me to question what UConn's party scene has become. Spring weekend around campus was historically an absolute riot. Couches were lit on fire, street poles and signs ripped out of the ground, cars flipped, and the oh so hilarious sound of glass shattering into millions of tiny fragments. Spring Weekend has previously brought thousands of degenerate college students from all around New England to Storrs to engulf in man sodas, until 2010 when things got a little out of hand resulting in the death of a fellow husky. As a result, UConn forced campus into complete martial law for future Spring Weekends. The only aftermath of Spring Weekend lies in the front of my dorm building, where a handful of students threw away their mud destroyed shoes. Each year, countless students compete in "Ooozeball", a campus wide volleyball tournament that is played in the mud. Anyhow, walking around campus on Saturday night i couldn't help but notice that there was more of a police presence on and around campus then there were students. Fact of the matter is that more students went home last weekend instead of trying to spark a rager. Maybe i'm just a complete spoiled prick who got a little too much of the riots after our National Championship victory (bite me Calipari), but this was easily the calmest weekend here at UConn.
