As wreckless and boundary-free as we have been thus far, we have come to realize that a set of guidelines may be in order. Not in the sense that consequences will result if someone fails to comply, but definitely endless ridicule. While some are more valued than others, they are all none-the-less the laws of the Niland house. Here they are (note this is a rough draft and susceptible to amendments)
*Rule #1: Finish your Drink.
We're in Ireland people. There are sober kids in India. Don't be that a-hole.
*Rule #2: ** ***** ** ****
*Rule #3: No Americanos.
Not the drink that is more popular here than at home, ironically, the fellow Yanks that we encounter. We have had our fair share of them at home. Failure to comply with this rule is an opportunity cost to the grand scheme (finding a nice Irish husband and never coming home.) <- Someone should have told Kelsey that this rule is not appropriate pillow talk sooner.
Rule #4: Never deny a friend in need of a bathroom buddy.
Some crazy stuff goes down in there, and going in alone has no guarantees of survival.
Rule #5: Every man for themselves in the morning.
Yes Christine, I get it. The Irish are great snugglers. But if given the opportunity to escape from an awkward AM encounter...TAKE IT. P.S. This should be done before noon or wifed-up jokes will presume.
Rule #6: Always Pregame.
Never play a sport until you stretch, never go out unless you pre-game. It will save you a ton of money not to mention it will warm you up before walking outside in the cold.
Rule #7: Say "yes" to fun.
This is actually Rule #7 in the NUI Galway student handbook.
Rule #8: No Whining.
There is nothing like a negative attitude to ruin the night. This rule was instituted after the wahmbulance ran over Kelsey and Christine who can't handle a short walk to College Bar. Amateurs.
Rule #9: Share your Smokes.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Rule #10: CANADA! CANADA! CANADA!
aka Code Red get me away from him.
