Ain't No Party Like an IDP

College is a time when you do incredibly immature and ridiculous things. I think this stems from the fact that we are no longer young enough to live with our parents and have them dictate our lives, but we are also not old enough to have lost the little kid inside of us. Basically, we're stuck between childhood and that scary thing called "being an adult."

This past year, I've discovered the IDP, aka the iPod Dance Party. And they are amazing. This is how your average IDP works: 1. Download the selected playlist to your iPod. (It's usually about 30-40 minutes long). 2. Go to the meeting point at the specified time. 3. Put in your earphones. 4. On the count of 3, everyone press play. 5) Dance like there's no tomorrow!!!!

This probably sounds like the stupidest thing you've ever heard of. Well, it is. But it is also seriously fun. My favorite part is taking my headphones out and watching everyone dancing in silence. There's nothing funnier on this earth.

This weekend, I went to an IDP at my college library. Picture 40 or so kids gyrating and shimmying through rooms full of bookshelves and tables with no music playing. If you've got that image in your head, you'll understand why I chose it as my Weekly Wonderful.

In case you can't picture this, I found a little video of some kids at another college doing their own dance party.

As you can see, IDP's are stupid, hilarious, weird, immature and absolutely ridiculous. But that's college for you.
