St. "Practice" Day?! What the heck is that... you probably don't know if you go to any other college besides Cortland. It's a day that everyone comes together and pretends they're Irish just for an excuse to drink from all day and night without really stopping to breathe. "Should we go to the Binghamton parade day?" That's not even a question if you've experienced this day with us at Cortland. Here's 12 reasons why it's the best day ever, and maybe even better than actual St. Patrick's Day.

1. You can start drinking as early as you want because everyone else is doing it too.

- "But guys is 8am"

"... so?"

2. The bars open earlier than your morning classes, and you have no problem getting up for the bar.

- "If it's anything but accounting, I'm in."

3. It's a day filled with anything and everything green.

- "Your hair is green, your clothes are green, your food is green, your drinks are green. What else?"

4. Kegs and eggs: enough said.

- "I mean, why not?"

5. It's an all day affair of endless green beers.

- "It just makes everything 10x more fun."

6. You pee green for about 2 days straight.

- "Something isn't right here."

7. The bartenders are exceptionally friendly with the free shots of Jameson.

- "You get a shot! And you get a shot!"

8. If you didn't hear "Shipping Up to Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys at least once, you're probably in the wrong place.

- "Just go home."

9. Everyone realizes that they definitely needed the practice for the real day.

- "3 hangovers in one day... ok ok."

10. Suddenly you can become an Irish step dancer and don't understand why your legs are moving the way they are.

- "Just call me crazy legs."

11. You most likely won't remember anything that happens after 3pm.

- "WAIT I DID THAT?!?!"

12. Getting beer poured on you is okay; only on this day.

- "Keep it comin'!"
