checklist for a bad law ball

how not to enjoy law ball: a checklist

Words by: jenny jung

With Law Ball approaching imminently, I’m sure most of our beloved readers are preparing to get the most out of the night- as you should. And as someone who can proudly say that they had perhaps one of the most pathetically messy experiences at law ball (to the point where I am the reason why some of my friends are not attending this year), I consider myself an authority when it comes to having a bad law ball experience. I thought that I might share my best tips for ruining this special night, so that you might know what to avoid to ensure a great law ball experience.

1. a messy/complicated love life

This is a prerequisite for all the people out there looking to have a sad night, and is something that helps those glasses of free mimosa enter your system in record time.

2. forget to put bandaid on your feet

If you’re someone who is planning to wear heels for the night, consider raw-dogging your brand new pair of cheap shoes for extra pain points and an early night!

3. call your ex(s)

Bonus crying points if you end up going back to their place of residence after the function.

4. hook up/sleep with someone from your seminar class

Follow this tip to never want to step foot in Liggy ever again (not that any of us need further incentive for that). Trade in your dignity for 5 whole minutes of ego-boost and/or mediocre sex.

5. don’t eat dinner

Don’t skip this step if you want the optimal blood alcohol level for each drink consumed! All food does is slow down your pace of intoxication and who wants that anyway?
