Junior Ring Is Tonight

Saturday, December 4th, 2010

Don't skimp on the ties gentlemen, this isn't Middle School

Tonight is Junior Ring and that means that in several hours most of you will start drinking alcohol while wearing fancy clothes, which, as Mad Men has proven, can be an incredibly fun and entertaining way to spend an evening. That being said, here is a list of things not to do tonight:

  • Do not vomit on yourself
  • Do not vomit on anyone else (especially me)
  • Do not have sex behind the curtains where everyone hides their coats
  • Do not knock over any light fixtures that could potentially land on other students
  • Do not half ass your outfit because you are too cool
  • Do not wear Axe Deodorant
  • Do not wear a Bolo Tie (unless you are an actual cowboy)

Tonight’s dance (which is going to cost you 10 bucks at the door so I really hope you took my advice and bought a 5 dollar ticket at Case before hand) continues the weekend’s Disney theme in all its nostalgic glory so make sure to dress like the Princes and Princesses you deserve to be. For no apparent reason  the first 300 people to arrive  get entered into a competition to win some money, which is not actually how the real world works but whatever!

Unfortunately Getty sold the last of its Four Loko last night (RIP Lil’ Buddy) but the parched masses need not worry, Junior Ring features a delicious Beer Garden where those of us who are 21 can stand sectioned off from the general population, sipping our beers like some sort of exhibition, you’re going to need a state issued ID and a Campus Event Card though.

Disney Themed Junior Ring Weekend

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

HEY LADIES!!!

Nothing staves off the blast of December air, the growing weight of finals and the lasting sting of insults received over Thanksgiving dinner (just me?) like getting dressed up and drunk. Luckily the Junior Class is hosting Junior Ring—a Skidmore tradition based on exactly those two activities—this Saturday night at 10pm. Please refer to Junior Ring’s entry in our surprisingly clairvoyant Freshman Orientation Guide for more information.

The weekend will be full of free events, all loosely themed to resemble Disney movies, but tickets to the semi-formal itself are going to cost you five bones if you buy them in Case Center this week and ten if you cop them at the door. I learned in my single semester of Microeconomics that the best thing to do in this situation would be to buy tickets before hand, because of an economic theory called common sense.

If you’re of age and wishing to imbibe I urge you to go to the Card Office and pick yourself up a Campus Event Card. Drinks will be served in the traditional Junior Ring Beer Zone For Older People and to join our secret club you need to show your Campus Event card  along with a state issued ID.

Anillo Junior Es Esta Noche

Dont skimp on the tie gentlemen, this isnt middle school

Don't skimp on the tie gentlemen, this isn't middle school

Tonight is Junior Ring and you know what that means? Keystones and expensive clothes.

The whole shebang kicks off at 10pm and hopefully y’ll heeded my advice and bought your tickets beforehand or you’re going to look like the BIGGEST FUCKING IDIOT ON CAMPUS when you have to pay 5 dollars at the door.

Just a quick reminder, everyone at this dance will have a bed within walking distance, there is no reason for you two to shack-up behind the curtains. People keep their coats back there and nobody wants to pay for dry cleaning. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do and I’m sure you’ll be fine.

OH SHIT, I FORGOT ABOUT JUNIOR RING

Seton Catholic High Schools Junior Ring Dance 2008 (Nothing Like Ours)

Seton Catholic High School's Junior Ring Dance 2008 (Nothing Like Ours)

Saturday night is Junior Ring and if you’re going I suggest buying yourself a ticket tomorrow before 2pm. After that you’re going to be stuck looking like a scrub and paying 5 dollars at the door.

The dance starts at 10pm so I assume you’ll all be imbibing beforehand but if you find yourself wanting a refreshing brew from the dance’s beer garden make sure you have both your state issued ID and a campus event card.

Junior Ring EXTRAVAGANZA!!!1!

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

There’s nothing like coming back to campus from home with your family and friends to deal with term papers and sanctions issued by Res Life for having too many chairs, a coffee pot, beer bottles, and a disassembled bed in your room (…damn). That’s why this weekend is the perfect time to put off work and party like it’s 1920 at the Class of 2010′s “Junior Ring.” There will be events all weekend, and a semi-formal dance Friday night from 11-3am. Looks like this year’s theme is going to be the roaring twenties, so all you Gatsby’s out there can finally make your move on your Daisy’s. Since it was during the twenties that jazz music gained its popularity, we can’t make any assumptions as to whether the DJ will be playing Weezy or Dizzy (Gillespie), but in the spirit of the twenties, your request for scat music will probably be granted.

Stop by the SGA booth in Case now through Friday between 12-4pm for $3 tickets (they take the Skid ID YAY!) or buy $5 tix at the door. Remember that if you’re over 21 and want to get your drink on at the dance you need to get a campus event card—two IDs are now required for a drink. The drinks are quite steep: $4 per dose.
