It's that time of year. Colleges across the country kick off syllabus week with a "celebration" of sorts, typically with a theme. Sure we've seen the luaus and the jersey parties but what about something creative? Something that is not only memorable but totally Instagram worthy? Here are eight party ideas that everyone should try this year.

1. Holiday Party

Everyone dresses up as their favorite holiday. Mothers Day, Hanukkah, National Corn Dog Day, you name it. If it's a holiday you can dress up as it. Really easy to get creative with this one.

2. Meme Party

If you're like me, you enjoy seeing the random things that get turned into national sensations. Why not make a party out of it? I know Harambe and Pepe would feel proud to see someone dressed up just like them.

3. Food Fight Party

This one is kinda gross. Before the party you would be assigned to two teams and from there you would hang out until it's time to fight. A super fun way to get to know people and throw food around.

4. Alcoholic Novels/Movie Party

Basically you dress up as the characters from your favorite novel or movie but you put a slightly boozy twist on it. Tequila Mockingbird, Adventures of Huckleberry Gin, Hundred Beers of Solitude... you name it. If it's a good book you can always attach a drink to it.

5. Graffiti Party

This one is pretty simple. Everyone wears a white shirt and brings markers or fabric paint. From there people go around and mark what they want on peoples shirts. You can draw artwork or funny quotes and by the end of the night, you would have a shirt full of funny memories.

6. Game of Thrones Party

This may be incredibly nerdy, but I recently have started Game of Thrones and I'm one hundred percent obsessed with the show. Dress as someone from the Stark or Lannister family and drink to the victories of the reign as you play games and pet dragons.

7. Presidential Debate Party

This is more of a first semester kind of party. You either go as a Clinton or a Trump, each side brings a sweet or salty snack and you play games about the events going on in the debate. Play pin the tail on the Democrat (get it cause their symbols are the donkey) and converse about who might win in November.

8. Infamous TV Characters Party

The concept is simple.... take your favorite character from a TV show and dress as that character. You could be Jess from New Girl or Tanisha from Bad Girls Club (as shown above) or any character that you like. The Instagram captions would be amazing and it would be a good time for everyone.
