Being a
student is fun, but it does have its down side. For a lot of students it is the
first time that they have left home and is therefore somehow disconcerting. The
realization that there is now no mechanism around to take dirty smelly clothes
and magically transform them into clean ones is a bit irritating, isn`t it?!
But still the most inconvenient change in students’ life is dealing with budget
and studies and not only that but doing it SIMULTANEOUSLY… In this case the only
association with uni life will logically be BOREDOM and the only thought that
can slightly drive you back from this stressful association is going out for a
drink with “the guys”. Unfortunately, here comes the second obstacle that
usually students find hard to overcome…budget.
How about if I tell you that there is a decent
way to earn money until you`re having fun…SIMULTANEOUSLY? It could sounds a bit vague and too
good to be true but don’t forget that one bored and desperate student can be extremely
creative. For instance,
organising a party in your own house can be profitable “business”. Think about
it, first, no one can deny that students tend to release their whole “potential”
only if they feel like they are invited in a “private party” where the cozy home atmosphere is contributing
to the “crazy things I can do when my parents (OR for example, the security from Kasbah )are not watching”. Second, everyone who acknowledge this fact
will be even more interested of your “home organized party” when he/she notice
that the price that they have to pay for entrance and drinks is almost three
times cheaper than this in The Establishment‘s
menu. You may ask why someone would pay
to go in someone else’s house instead of organising hi/her own party. And the answer
is the mess that the extreme night usually leaves after the Sun goes up and the
damages that should be fixed somehow are due to the host of the party, hence
the only “obligation” of the “guests” is to have fun and cause those damages.Here some advices how you can do it:
1. Planning:
- Make sure you can gather volunteers
to help you.
- Be prepare to invest some money
2. Take action:
- Fix the dates and time your parties are
going to take place (stick with permanent timetable initially, so that people
can easy remember; afterwards, if everything goes on plan you can start “customizing”
your parties)
- Advertising is an essential moment:
find the balance between spreading the event, but on the same time inviting
students that you know or at lease your friend’s friend knows
- Make arrangements for photo and video (you
may use those materials for advertising…if appropriate)
