re: I know I'm young...but how did college social stuff work before cell phones?

I went to college 88-92.

Usually just called and left a message on an answering machine to get in touch.

Met up at whoevers apt. and rolled out from there. If the first place sucked , go to the next.

Usually the same packs of people you know hung out at the same places.

But yeah, you rode together more and started and finished the night with the same people.

I guess the current situation lets you keep more tabs on a greater number of people. But I found out my circle of good friends was a few people and that's who I was usually gonna be with either way.
