Okay, so it’s not technically Spring just yet but it’s beginning to feel a lot like Darty season. Yes, that’s right. The sun has come out to play and day party season is right at the corner here in Fort Worth. No more dreary days where you spend forty-five minutes figuring out how you will layer up for the bitter cold wind you must face to go anywhere. It’s time for all out fun in the sun day ragers.It’s time to break out those PFGs, Hawaiian shirts, bikinis, and throwback jerseys. Hell… cut the legs off your wranglers if you feel like you’ve become physically attached to them during the harsh winter our campus saw. Draw the curtains, feel the sun on your face, grab some friends, grab some brews, and get to a backyard near you. For many of us there has been a long hiatus since we had a legitimate day drinking session, so you must be careful not to fall into a drunken stupor and find yourself blacking out at dinner around 7 p.m.To steer clear from this fate, start early with a nice healthy and large breakfast at home. Feel free to add a mimosa to your breakfast of choice. A healthy breakfast will help because that tiny burger your buddy dropped on the ground and put back on the grill probably won’t be the full supplement your body needs for this long day of shenanigans.

Also, make sure to drink a couple bottles of water while you’re out enjoying the great weather. After the sun starts to make its way down, grab a full meal. You may want to Google the food pyramid to refresh your mind so you know what you need. Veggies, meat, fruit, the works -- eat it, and eat it all. Depending on your age, this may be easy because you have a magical underused resource called the Market Square located in the BLUU.
If you are out of the on-campus living situation then take yourself to a reputable eating establishment other than Mickey D’s. Then, take a nap. Even if it’s for fifteen minutes. This is imperative to your full day of drinking because if you do not, you will fall asleep at the bar that night and that could be awkward. Other than the basic safety necessities mentioned before, go out and have fun. If you’re not busy backyarding it, I recommend attending some of the TCU baseball games and enjoying a nice sunny tailgate. TCU baseball has weekend home series on the following dates (*denotes Big XII play):
