Nothing gets you into the mood more than a good breakfast after a long night. Everything is much better when you can borrow/loan a dog!
PARTY! Nora Helgeland Journalist
The collective has become the new Samfunnet, but for many the collective is still somewhat unknown territory. In this article we will present a bunch of tips and suggestions on parties to host for getting to know each other. For Norwegians, parties include the very best way to get to know others, A LOT OF ALCOHOL and little clothing, although this obviously does not apply to everyone. When you don´t know each other the most important thing is to always have at least one activity you all can gather together for. If you go all out and play strip-poker you can avoid that awkward silence and will always have something to talk about during the evening. Eventually you will get to know so much about each other, that you´ll have a subtle fear of getting your sensitive information or pictures leaked if you make a mess in the kitchen. It´s not always the easiest solution that´s the best, so here comes a few more suggestions. 38 Edition 02 Volume 76

Earlier we hosted a room-to-room-tour. Everyone then has their own themed room where they serve a drink or snack, or even hold a few activities. We have had themes such as “Mafia”, “The Master of the Masters”, “Vacation”, “Drawing

competitions”, “Disco” and “Children’s birthday”. Your imagination is the only limit, and you decide yourself how much you want to make out of it. It´s also important do decide which order to follow, for us this was decided trough a round of “inject the vaccine in Bent”, which of course is a corona version of “pin the tail on the donkey”. This time around we decided to test a different kind of collective housing party. We planned a theme for the night to get everyone engaged. It is important with themes and costumes, because nothing sets the party mood quite like costumes and dress-up. Since our disco ball already hung in the ceiling and the bingo raffle stood on the table, the theme easily became bingodisco. Now as our eyes are being stimulated it´s time to do the same to our ears. Nothing
