Ohio University students have gone two years without a fest season, and due to the coronavirus pandemic, the senior class is the only class that has actually experienced a fest season. With fest season comes back-to-back weekends of partying, tedious outfit planning, and memories with friends that you may never forget. Well, honestly, you may forget some of the details.

WEAR SHOES YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT
PROTECT YOUR DRINK
WHAT TO WEAR
Fest season takes place over the course of the spring semester. We all know spring brings rain and mud. Your shoes will get dirty. People will step on your toes and feet and track all that dirt right onto your brand new white shoes. Wear an old pair of tennis shoes that you will not be sad over when they are brown at the end of the day.
Some parties may supply alcohol or you may choose to bring your own drinks. Always be aware of your surroundings at parties – know who is around you. If you need someone to hold your drink, make sure it is someone you trust, and never leave your drink with someone you do not know. The best way to keep yourself safe from the threat of being roofied is to bring your own drink in a bottle that you can open and close. There is nothing wrong with cracking open a can or drinking the supplied beverage if you believe it is safe, but make sure you watch it the whole time.
Fest season is the perfect time to rock your Ohio U gear. Dress casually; no need to dress to the nines if you are not feeling it. Jean shorts, tennis skirts, leggings, and jeans are all perfect options for the spring weather. Feel free to DIY some Ohio U T-shirts, break out your spring wardrobe, or rock a hoodie. Remember to check the weather.
