Led to events such as the longest pee and closest to the edge competitions.

While living in the dorms (Burnhams) during a long, boring summer, several of us guys who lived on the same floor, often talked about going to South Haven on several different weekends. We had plans of drinking beer and chasing tail but our lack of finances prevented us from going.

On the Fourth of July weekend out of boredom, I decided to pop the roof hatch on the fourth floor and take up some lounge chairs (that were meant for the beach), some beers and I invited the rest of the guys on the floor to join me. This of course led to a series of fun events such as longest pee, water balloon throw, and closest to the edge competitions. This also enabled us to peer into any dorm room on the forth floor. The secret to avoid being caught was to make sure the lock on the roof hatch looked like it wasn't tampered with. Unfortunately several individuals on my floor forgot this important part and were soon facing a barrage of questions from the hall director, which I had no knowledge of, and soon our rooftop oasis was out of reach.

Summers at Western Michigan are the best.
