The Gray Lady is a mecca for undergraduates who are applying to law schools, attending way too many career fairs and haven't had time for an actual meal since the semester started.

They don't have the energy to go get drunk at the bars downtown, they're just too tired. So we go to Gray Lady where we sit in the same booth and talk about how tired we are — until the magic of the Lady rains down upon you until shenanigans ensue.

Here are the phases of drinking at The Gray Lady through .gifs from the TV show of our era, "The Office."

1. When your friends suggest you shake it up and go to Moes.

2. When you finally convince them to go to Gray for the 10,000th time.

3. When you get through the doors and take in the dimly lit booths and see that your favorite bartender is working.

4. Upon the first sip of your delicious beer.

5. When 4 of your friends walk in and someone orders shots.

6. Now you're upstairs with the darts and that one bench that's always broken, it's darker than downstairs and everyone is talking over each other.

7. Your friend has just brought you another beer, so you decide yoga at 9 a.m. is not going to work out.

8. It's 2:45, they just did the last call and people are blurring out of the bar and you're trying to find your ride (because we don't drink and drive anymore, people.)

9. It's 3 o'clock, the lights are on and you're on your way out. As you blow kisses to the bar you hear the owner say, "see ya tomorrow!" That bearded devil.

10. When you finally wake up at noon and try to bring all your friends up to speed on the events of the night before.

Here's to the only bar in T-Town that stays open till 3. You've always been there for us and it means the world.
