Starting off on Thirsty Thursday, house parties and bars on campus set the tone for the next two nights. It’s the time when students can let off some steam, relax and hang out with friends. A night out at Temple could be many things, but no matter what there is to do, wear or drink, students will most likely remember those moments for days to come. Well as long as there is not too much alcohol involved. A typical night out usually starts with getting dressed. If going to a house party on campus, the dress code is tight short black dresses for girls and jeans and a t-shirt for guys. Make-up, hair done, shoes on, it is time to go meet the girlfriends for a bit of pre-gaming. Around 10:30-11, massive groups of people roam down the streets to their party destination. A couple hours later, it is not uncommon to sec those same students coming out of over crowded bars or houses, covered in sweat, beer and smelling like they smoked 20 packs of cigarettes. Welcome to college. Students that are 21 and over usually don’t go to Temple parties. If bars around Temple arc not enough, students can easily go into center city to have some fun. James B. Beerer, a cultural anthropology major, plans his weekend based on what he feels like doing. “I usually go off campus or stay home depending on what parties are going on,” said Beerer. “I usually choose parties based on whether I’m in the mood for a big party, where I can go with a bunch of friends and just get lost or if I’m in the mood for a somewhat smaller one, where I know more of the people there so I can relax and chill more.” Going out at Temple could also mean simply staying home writh a bunch of friends and having a private party. Jeremy Goldberg, a theatre major, said he likes to be with his friends rather than at a club. “I usually stay off campus and I often stay home,” said Goldberg. ‘1 usually go to my friends houses or places where my friends and I have been invited.” Just like previous years, Temple students will be sure to continue the partying tradition.
