Valentine’s Day: Love it, hate it, take it or leave it, you’ll probably still be asked what you’re doing for the (un)romantic holiday. Maybe you have a special someone or a “friend” that you’ve made plans with or you intend to hermit that evening. If you want to get out and do something different Wheat City has a few options for you:
Erotic Bingo: Located here at BU in Harvest Hall starting at 6pm with a cash bar running until 9pm. This game isn’t for the faint-hearted but can be a hell of a good time. Prizes are supplied by Smitten and presented by Flora Cowen in collaboration with the Women’s Collective.
Shred Your Ex: Running from 9pm-2am at Houstons, bring a picture of your ex (or a letter) to shred to have a chance of winning a date night package! $5 entry and $4.50 for drinks, it’s the perfect occasion to blackout drunk if your heart has recently been broken or to meet someone for a good time but not a long time. This event is not advisable for students who have the intention of going to their 8:30am classes on Friday.
I Love You Queerly: For out LGBTTQ* readers, this is the event for you. Hosted at the Lady of the Lake by Brandon Pride there will be a variety of board games and card games for those who want to meet up with other members of the community. Independent tables are also an option and gender-neutral washrooms are available on-site. The event runs from 6-9pm. Bring your partner(s) or a friend along for a low-key evening.
If you’re single, not working, and not sure you want to go out? We have you covered. Read
