Now, we touched on Skeeps in our post about Ann Arbor’s bar life, but much more needs to be known if one plans to actually survive.
First and foremost, let’s take a look at the records. Skeeps: 28 Us: 0. Skeeps will and does take your soul. Except and embrace that as fact.
Ski Trip is one of Michigan Greeks’ best inventions. All the asking and serenading is behind us and now the trips are right around the corner. Although the name might be deceitful (let’s be honest, few people actually ski), it is still a weekend that always seems to live up to and even surpass the hype.
2012 may or may not be cut short by the apocalypse, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t make a few goals for the year. Betches may not need resolutions, but the Michigan difference definitely applies here. Last semester’s tactics and plans may have sufficed, but winter semester is here and we aren’t playing nice anymore. So we are taking the concept of “mind, body, and soul” in a bit of a new direction to help structure our New Year’s resolutions.
Today we embark on a truly historical event (or so we say to impress our guy friends…) as Michigan goes to a BCS Bowl game - SUGAR BOWL. Football Saturdays may be done for the school year, but Sugar Bowl acts as our final football celebration. And how do we celebrate football? Gettin’ drunk. So lets find the biggest TV screen we can and play a little drinking game. (The drinking game assumes that you are drinking hard alcohol. If you are playing with a mixed drink/beer/wine follow the *** directions).
Being a holiday based on glitter, getting hammered, and making out, New Year’s Eve is one of the most celebrated of holidays for the young adult. But after going to college, we have some things to iron out….
Yes, all the cash we got for Christmas/Chanukah (thank you Grandma and Grandpa) seems like a nice end of the year bonus, but it is way to easy to go through that money on taxis and Ragstock apparel in only just a few weeks. So, being the intellects that we are, we propose an investment plan.
Since we literally get less time off then we got in high school (when our friends back home make snide remarks just remind them that we get out in April), we should take full advantage of our time home.
Nice
- Spending three all-nighters in the Ref Room studying for exams
- Cleaning up our dorm rooms before break
- Actually leaving our South Quad dorm room when the fire alarms were pulled the other week
Every Tuesday and Thursday night we tend to leave our mixers early (and let’s get real, they are usually only called pregames) and head out to the bars. The frats will even force their baby pledges to stay at the house to entertain the sorority pledges who have yet to get a fake (seriously, if you don’t have a fake yet GET ON IT) or make them be sober drivers to avoid wasting money on taxis instead of shots. So here is our how-to guide on hitting the bars.
With the passing of Black Friday and all our favorite online shopping sites running on backorder, we know that the holidays are right around the corner. And obviously we want to make sure to get our friends and boyfriends the perfect gifts for the occasion. For some of us, our OCD may have helped us get into Michigan, but it makes us very indecisive when it comes to the purchasing of gifts. But it’s really not that difficult if you can just categorize the people in your life.
