Reality check: It’s reading period, and the carefree days of Spring Weekend are behind us. In times of distress such as these, let us conjure memories of the good times, sunshine and debauchery as we live vicariously through Michael Jordan and follow his journey through Spring Weekend.

Michael gets schwasted in Keenasty. “It’s just so hard to not be drunk all the time.”

Already feeling nostalgic for Spring Weekend 2012? So are we.

This past weekend, BDH photographers roamed the grounds of Spring Weekend capturing your intoxication. You may have asked us to take your picture and thought you were never going to see it again. Oh, how wrong you were. Here are all of the photos of people we took over the course of the weekend. Tag your friends so that people can find themselves in the photos! Enjoy!

In case you missed it, what seemed like about one-fifth of the student body (if you don’t believe me, check the picture below) stalked the Glitch Mob across campus on Saturday night after their killer Spring Weekend mix. Much to the Bro-Po’s chagrin, the LA trio was pretty insistent on getting an after-party in somewhere, leading to a cat-and-mouse chase from Meeting to Charlesfield and back.

No books.

Though it certainly beat any real or imagined Biltmore suite Ciroc-fueled orgy with Diddy & entourage, we do think the Glitch Mob missed some spots on campus — some better protected from the police, some just plain awesome. Here are six places where we think they might have been able to play a set for longer than 20 minutes: [Read more →]

First beer in space.

You made it through the rain, the chicken dance, the crowds at the soccer house and the loud electronica. As a token of our gratitude, here goes the Ode to Natty Light:

Your delicate can of silver and blue,
So often crushed after a shotgun,
Lifeless can surrounded by others,
Amid a sea of tan, exhausted legs.

Oh, the joy you brought to all!
The buzz of your beer, after a while,
Awakening our senses
To the smell of the lobster.

Some surmise you were made from another,
But you taste better;
So here’s to you, Natty God
May you live forever. 

At least as long as Binder keeps coming.

Peace out SW ’12. We hardly knew ye.

Today is the annual Binder Day, so once you’ve made sure you’re actually awake (aka, your hangover is under control with a hearty Ratty breakfast), just make your way on outside. For everyone else, with this free Alarm Clock (Apple / Android), you won’t miss the fun next year. (Alternatively, find your asleep friend’s phone and download this for him/her.) It may also come in handy during finals, but that’s so far away from now…

Don't be like this guy

It’s Saturday Fraturday! Since more dancing and partying are on the horizon, and it’s impossible to not be doing either of those two things by now, we figured we would help you drink the beers you (probably hopefully) have in front of you right now. Rule #1: it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere. Rule #2: practice.

In order to perform Rule #2, you will need to download iBeer (Apple / Android). Once this is complete, pop open the app, face your phone to the right, bring your forearm in an upwards motion towards your mouth, and angle your wrist towards you. As you savor the digital beer molecules hitting your tastebuds, consider all the different settings in which this new skill will come in handy. Once you’ve practiced enough, put it to use at any one of the evening’s house parties.

OMG Want.

So it’s now officially the first day of Spring Weekend, which means you’re furiously trying to cram… every single Childish Gambino lyric possible so you can impress all your friends tonight. But you know what’s better than working/going to class? Relaxing on the Main Green with a large crowd of people seems like an easy answer. Adding to that some semi-legalized smoking, the choice is pretty obvious. And if you put in some tasty cookies, there really isn’t anything more you could ask for.

Pro tip: bake them yourself, and bake them fresh. When the clock strikes 3, start a basic recipe like this one. At 3:45, pop a sheet in the oven and prepare another one. Take the first one out at 3:55 and turn the oven off, leaving the second sheet out and ready to go. Make the trek to Main Green at 4:00. When you come back, immediately turn on the oven and bake round 2. Savor.

Duuuude, it’s 4/20. You know what that means: you need to find something to do between 4:30 and 6 pm (when the concert doors open) this afternoon. Something that involves sitting around with friends and not moving too much for a while. JC (just chilling). Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

With RJDJ (Apple) and ScenePlayer (Android), you’re inside the music. Open up the app, choose the Soundtrips mode and let your phone do its own thing. By recording your surrounding sounds, it gets a feel for what type of environment you’re in, and selects a song accordingly. Per the Apple Store: ”music doesn’t get any more trippy than this.” You’re welcome. (If you’re in a more active mood, choose the Moovz mode, and control the music by touching or tilting your phone.)
