We all know what this Saturday is: the one, the only BACCHANAL. A day that all of campus has been anxiously awaiting, we can finally say “bacch it” to all of our responsibilities, act like normal college students for once in our lives, and wild out to the musical stylings of Big Sean. This year, however, the event is ticketed – which means far less people will be wandering in and out and around campus – once you have a good place to see the concert from, stick to it!!! How to avoid running back to your dorm 5 million times for shit you forgot? Here’s a guide to everything you NEED on bacchanal so you can relax, enjoy the concert, and baach it up in peace.
1. A crop top and high-waisted shorts
Wondering what to wear? Done and done.
Â
2. A good (but ultimately, losable) pair of sunglasses
And if they aren’t losable, DON’T LET ANYONE TRY THEM ON
Â
3. A (disposable) water bottle
THIS IS IMPERATIVE. You must must must have water if you want to not die. There are water fountains all over campus, so having a plastic water bottle with you that you can refill will make life much simpler, in case you don’t have single bills for vending machines. Not a camelback. Never a camelback. Unless you want to lose it forever.
Â
4. Comfy Kicks
Specifically, white Converse or Keds or Supergas if you have ’em. Don’t wear open toed shoes if you don’t want to be in major pain when people step on your feet.
Â
5. A hat or head wrap
Bonus points if you wear it backwards
Â
6. A flask
The party never ends when you’re carrying it with you! This beats carrying a bottle of liquor from pregame to pregame. Warning: you’ll probably have to ditch it before the concert starts, since you can’t bring it in, so make sure you have somewhere good to stash it (or it can fit in the waistband of your shorts)
Â
7. A man whose shoulders you can sit on
Â
All the better to see the stage with!
Â
8. A full phone battery
Trust me on this one – if you get separated from your friends and your phone is dead, you’ll pretty much never see them again. Plus, the selfies!
