Panther Prowl Vol. 1/Sign of Things to Come/Best Thang Smokin' Young Dro

The first Friday of the school year could very well be a sign of the things to come. It could go very wrong due to wrong, unthought out decisions such as not opening the door for an RA and then having the cops called on your party in the Commons(yes this really did happen) On the other hand all of the right decisions could be made thereby producing a highly enjoyable experience throughout college.

Any returning upperclassmen know that when a panther prowl is announced, not that high of expectations come along, but the first one of the year a very big different was presented to the student body of Georgia State University. Happily the Spotlight Program truly stepped up their game with the inclusion of the ever rolling, best thang smoking Young Dro. Yes, I do mean the Grand Hustle signed, White Boy Black Boy swag inventor Young Dro.

If there is one thing GSU students, and Atlanta college students as a whole know how to do well is party in large numbers and get the word out quicker than the trains run through MARTA. Counting that we heard from well informed "bird" that there was only a limited amount of wristbands available to see the free Dro Show, my friends and I decided to arrive a bit earlier than the seven o'clock door opening time. Unfortunately we weren't the only ones who got that information.

After a hardy night of the usual free hamburgers and drinks, karaoke, extreme pixie sticks, Fight Night Round IV, Grand Theft Auto IV, long lines, and lots of anxious young black teens. Dro hit the stage in the ballroom of the student center and officially tour it up. I gotta give props to him for giving a private show to one of the fastest growing colleges out. By the end of the very long night I was worn out somewhat annoyed by aggravating underclassmen, but was able to fall asleep next to my beautiful woman, and wake up the next morning. I know for sure now that the year will be a great one.

Peace and Love.

P.S.

It feels like much more than a week has gone by, which only gives me even more optimistic belief for the year to come.
