Green Beer Day: A Guide

Green Beer day is an annual holiday for most students at Miami University. It is one of Miami's biggest traditions and began in the early fifties because up until 2010, Miami scheduled spring break during St. Patrick's Day. Because no one at Miami would ever miss an important drinking holiday, the students took it upon themselves to create their own St. Patrick's Day celebration and called it Green Beer Day. Green Beer Day takes place the Thursday before Spring Break. Students wake up at 1:00 a.m. that day and the bars open up at 5:00 a.m. This is one of the biggest drinking days of the year and many people don't make it past their first couple of green Jell-O shots, so here is a guide for all the rookies on how to survive green beer day.


1. PLAN A NAP.

Many teachers do not believe in this sacred holiday, so they will purposefully schedules exams or quizzes on this day. If you have an exam or quiz, go out earlier and come back to sleep for a couple of hours to be prepared for class.

2. Green Beer Equals Green Tongue.


With that being said, DO NOT drink the green beer if you have any intention on attending class because it will turn your tongue green and your teachers will know about your previous party activities.

3. SCHEDULE WISELY.


Every single fraternity will be having a party that day, so coordinate with your friends to make a tentative time schedule for each party, that way you are not staying too long at one and you miss another.

4. PACE YOURSELF.

!
Not many people have gone an entire day drinking by starting at 1:00 a.m. and you'll definitely want to enjoy every moment of this day, whether you remember it or not, so don't be the girl at the party passed out by 4:00 a.m.

5. ALL GREEN EVERYTHING!

Wear the craziest attire you can conjure up! Every person goes all out for this day without the fear of judgment. Wear green!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
