welcome to bloomingtonwelcome to bloomingtonBy definition, a Hoosier is a native or inhabitant of Indiana, but everyone in Indiana knows the truth. Being a Hoosier is much more than just living in Indiana - it’s about being a part of Indiana University. As a Hoosier, one must be ready at a moment’s notice to represent the true spirit of IU. So grab your candy-striped pants, pop a squat on your roof, and open a Natty Light. You’re about to be schooled on how to be a Hoosier.

Memorial Stadium // August - November

If you’ve ever been to a football game at IU, you’ll know that you’re doing

it wrong. The most exciting part of the fall semester is every Saturday of a

home game. As a student, you’ll wake up early – sometimes before 6 a.m.

—and drink until 9 p.m. or until you pass out. Whichever comes first. Sure,

you can’t make it to your 8 a.m. class every Monday and Wednesday,

but maybe your Intro to Finite professor could increase class attendance

and participation if she offered shots of Komchatka for correct answers.

Assembly Hall // October

Formerly known as Midnight Madness, this is your excuse to pretend

like you love and understand basketball. Get excited to see all those hot

basketball players. Network with alumni while in your drunken fog. Maybe

you’ll even see John Cougar Mellencamp and Meg Ryan’s lips! What’s that

short guy’s name again? Yawgi? Yeah, he’s really great. He may even carry

us to the World Series…or the super bowl — whatever that big

tournament is called.

HOUSE BARYou could splurge and get a $2 Upland Wheat, but why spend the extra

money when, let’s face it, you’re only at House Bar because you’re

either a.) already drunk, or b.) looking to get white girl wasted. Hipsters

and Jocks unite over the glory of Old IU and cheap beer!

Nothing says “college” like spending 16 hours in a bar. That’s right,

for the low price of 1 drink per hour, you can spend your entire day

at Kilroy’s on Kirkwood “Why would one do this,” you may be asking.

Well, you’ll be immortalized on the KOK Wall of Shame…er…Fame.

S PIZZAForget Pizza X. Yes, it’s cheap, but if you’re going to gain the Freshman

15, you might as well do it the right way. Aver’s is the best pizza on the

planet. We get it, there’s all that fantastic Chicago-style pizza from your

hometown. But can you get an entire pizza, an order of breadsticks,

two drinks, AND two cookies for $11.00?

You could play beer pong at your house and spend less money,

but nothing beats the thrill of sinking a glass in a bucket of beer!

Network with alumni and fellow students while you drink cheap beer,

make a mess of the bar, and get so drunk, you won’t even acknowledge,

let alone remember, the rules.

336 E Brownstone Dr // All Summer Long

Spend a summer in Bloomington and sneak into a private pool. Find

your favorite in town. If you’re looking for the best college pool in town,

check out Brownstone Terrace. Avoid any pool on Dunn Street. These pools

have been known as “hair pool.”

RUN NAKEDRUN NAKED

Dunn Meadow // Homecoming Week

There are three times the student recreational center is packed with girls

getting in shape. Those times are the week before spring break, the week

after New Year’s, and the week before the Nearly Naked Mile. After you run

nearly a mile while you’re nearly naked, splash in Showalter Fountain,

and take amoxiciilin, because you probably have Pneumonia.

Drinking on your roof - “Droofing” - puts a whole new meaning to high

gravity beer. If you end up in an apartment, it is essential that you

befriend someone who lives in one of the historic houses on the south

side of campus. Who cares if you actually like the person?

No one knows local produce like Hoosiers. So what if farmers markets

in Vermont, New York, and Wisconsin are nationally ranked? The farmers

market here in Bloomington is jammed packed with Hoosiers’ favorite

food group - corn!
