We are so back, folks.

A new year calls for a new semester, and more importantly, another sylly week filled with bar-hopping, hangovers, and of course, endless syllabi.

There’s truly no better way to celebrate the first week of classes than going on a week-long bender. So, we have you covered with a drinking game to give a ~shot~ while you transition to a new semester in Happy Valley.

Without further ado, let’s get into the first drinking game of the semester.

• Swig down a double shot if you’re as thrilled as we are to be back.
• If you slipped on snow walking to or from class, take a shot, and maybe grab a Band-Aid or two.
• Finish the drink and cry yourself a river if it’s your last ever sylly week. #RIPSeniors
• If you already went to your advisor, have a sip and take a deep breath.
• Have a drink if you went to any of the on-campus gyms this week as part of your New Year’s resolution. The grind doesn’t stop. Will it last? Probably not.
• Take a shot (or two) if you heard the words “attendance is mandatory” from a professor.
• If you’ve skipped already, give yourself a pity shot.
• If you’re finding it hard to get through the week because of that Eagles game, shotgun a brew.
• If you already made a new class friend, treat yourself to a victory sip.
• Pour yourself a hefty shot if you sat in the front row in any of your classes. We’re glad to see someone #SettingTheStandard.
• Take a sip everytime you see one of those glorious OPP vehicles. #ThankYouForYourService
• Take a shot if you fall in love at first sight in one of your classes.
• Drink if you’re already ready for spring break.
• Have a sip if you got lost on your way to class.
• If you already dropped a class, take a few sips.
• If you find yourself in the middle of a heated Gypsy Rose Blanchard debate, finish your drink and crack another.
• Take a shot if you see an athlete or NPC on a scooter. Take another if you almost get hit by one.
• Take a sip if you overhear juicy relationship drama.
• If you see someone using Apple or Google Maps to get from class to class, take a sip.
• Take a sip (of coffee) if you stopped by the new Dunkin’ on Garner Street.
• Take a sip for every QR code you scan at the Involvement Fair.
• If you party a little too hard and get kicked out of a bar this week, take a shot.
• Take a shot for every textbook you have to buy.
• If you end up bar or frat hopping every night this week, chug your drink for five seconds.
• Take a shot every time you see someone carrying a poster they just bought at the HUB poster sale.
• If you catch someone taking an Uber to class, take a sip.
• Take a shot if someone shows up to your class 30+ minutes late.
• If you end up in the wrong class, take a shot. Don’t worry, it happens (not really).
• Take a shot if you miss mommy and daddy.
• If your roommate went abroad and you’re lonely, treat yourself to a nice long sip. They’ll be back soon(ish)!

Enjoy your Sylly Week, and please remember to drink responsibly.
