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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
