1 Girl, Lots of Cups

When the season starts to change and the breeze turns unbearable, don’t let the Wisconsin weather get you down. There are tons of things you can do in your apartment that don’t require a Northface and a shovel. Though coming up with things to do at home is often difficult, there are a few ways to have fun and all you need is a few Dixie cups. People underestimate its vital usage in our world and I have come up with a few ways to lift your spirits when all you have left is a cup, and your ability to drink.

1. Create an “Alcohol Fund” cup for all your mooching friends who come over for the free booze. The donations may start pouring in when their Natty Light receives a nice upgrade.

2. Play a nice game of flip cup. All you need is a few beers and you’ve got yourself a competition of a lifetime. And a hangover…

3. Ever wish you could pull the moves of a bartender in your very own home? Well, practice makes perfect, people. Grab two plastic cups and you’ve got yourself a home made martini shaker. Screw the olives.

4. If you aren’t in the mood to drink (you better have a good excuse), you can turn that nice cup of yours into an apartment necessity. The next time your slut of a roommate comes knocking at your door for a “this is the last time, I promise” rubber, point her to where the condom jar is located. Create and she won’t procreate.

5. If you went all out and scored yourself a 24 pack of shiny red cups, challenge your friends to a game of beer pong. Always a crowd pleaser.

6. Turn yourself into a fourth grader and create your own telephone on a string using two cups. You may look stupid but you won’t feel so stupid during a drunken chat when either of you want to leave your bed. Just don’t puke in the cup. Your call has been dropped.

7. He says ****, you say shit. Make those ****s pay for it. Make a swear jar and buy yourself a 6 pack of Bud Light when you are finished reeling in the dough. Hey, they did it.

8. Too lazy to leave but still want some physical activity? Stack as many cups as you can and figure out a way to play a game of drunken bowling. It may not last long but the first person to try will most likely be the drunkest with rug burns. Easy laugh in the morning.

9. “That was a bad decision.” We’ve all said it. We’ve all felt it. Now its time to do something about it. Create a bad decision jar and contribute money for every bad decision that you and your friends make. You may just be splurging on that bottle of Goose this weekend after all.

10. And finally, when you are lazier than shit and find reaching for the remote a risk to pull a muscle, use a cup like a normal person and pour yourself a drink.

So the next time the cold weather has got you down and going to a bar is tiring just to think about, all you need is a few cups, a few beers and some seriously willing participants.
