Due to the fact that Rush Week is right around the corner students should not find it odd when they see students dressed unusually at the bars. They are simply just dressed to a specific party theme. Now, it seems everyone has a love-hate relationship with themed parties--I guess it has to do with the theme itself. Yet, there are themes that students look forward to every semester.

1. America

Nothing reflects ones love for their country as much as decorating themselves head to toe in red, white and blue. Not to mention, no one ever questions why you decided to wear Converse, an American flag bandana and a Budweiser shirt to the bar. #Merica.

2. Paint Party

This theme consistently holds a special place in everyone's heart. It has both positives and negatives. Positives: you don't have to do your hair for the night, you get to wear a t-shirt and the parties themselves rarely happen. Negatives: you end up with paint everywhere (including your eyes), and the next day you still find paint everywhere.

3. Toga

Because what's better then wearing a sheet as an outfit?

4. Anything But Clothes (ABC)

People tend to let their creative side come out when coming up with costume ideas. ABC parties can in fact get a little scandalous but it's always a surprise to see what people actually use as an outfit.

5. Catalina Wine Mixer

It's the f***ing' Catalina wine mixer!!!...That is all.
