6 Ways You Know It's Darty Season At Illinois State University
Nicole Talan

If you're a student at Illinois State University, you have most definitely been to a party. Who hasn't? But, when you take it outside on a 65-degree day, that's when the party turns into a darty. A day party. These usually follow the temperature warming up. Being from the midwest, we all live for warm days we can spend outside especially if they happen to be in the middle of February. You can't not spend the day outside. Here are a few ways you know it's darty season at ILSTU.

1. The Lodge is bumpin'.

Once it hits about 55 degrees, The Lodge is everyone's first stop. Although it's also the first place that always gets busted. The undercover cops are everywhere, but hey The Lodge is always a good time.

2. Every guy is wearing a jersey.

Jersey season has begun a bit early this year. The hoodie under the jersey is a classic go too when heading out to a darty. It's timeless and tells us that you're ready to down a six pack. Somehow almost every guy is wearing a different one.

3. Tickets on tickets on tickets.

Let's be real. Sops aren't the coolest here at ILSTU. Tickets for everyone is their mantra because we all have at least an extra $275 to blow for drinking one beer. If you're not being obnoxious, then who really cares how much you've drunk? Along as you're all good, they should be too.

4. Flannels are out.

Just like the jersey is for guys, the flannel is for girls. Throw it over a tank or tie it around your waist and you're ready to go. For some reason, they just pull the whole outfit together. Throw on some Timberlands and you have the darty look of the decade.

5. Making friends is even easier if you have a dog.

Bring out a cute little puppy and you'll have girls all over you. Doesn't matter if you're even a student here. You've got a dog, you're invited to the party. That dog will be on more Snap Stories and Instas than you can imagine.

6. Everyone's just a little more friendly.

There's definitely fewer guys asking "who do you know here." It's warm out and everyone's drinking. Who cares who you know here. We're all just trying to have a good time.

Illinois State knows how to darty, that's for sure. Get out side, crack open a beer, and throw on the Ray-Bands. It's probably going to be 30 degrees next weekend anyways with Illinois weather. Drink it down and darty it up.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
