On a rainy weekend, you can stay pent up in your room looking out your window, penning the latest melodrama in a diary. Or, if you actually have a personality, you can be outside having some blood-pumping excitement. Here are some suggestions to have fun before the rain, rain goes away.

Mud wrasslin’

Nothing brings out your inner-redneck like a shirtless game of mud wrestling. Best found in grass-less recreation fields around the dorms, bring a few of your friends and get mud where you never thought you could. The first one to get pinned – well, is still really dirty.

Slip ‘n’ sliding on Central Campus

You don’t need ice to slide around like an Olympic figure skater, and wet grass can be as slick as a hockey rink. Find some hills, put on your swim gear and fly around until you get exhausted – or your clothes fly off on a super-speedy slide.

Wet T-shirt contest

Hold it. We’re not saying have your own personal “Girls Gone Wild” next to the math building. Some guys have ample bosoms, too, and why not have them show off what their mother gave them? Have an impartial judge score the winners and have them win . well, the pride of winning a wet T-shirt contest without being on spring break.

A slippery, partially-clothed game of Twister

There was nothing more titillating to your parents back in the day than playing Twister in their bell bottoms. Although we’ve seen more nowadays in a late-night infomercial, throwing a semi-naked game of Twister on Central Campus will have you falling all over each other into a giant pile of bodies. Now that’s how our generation does it.

Fall-on-your-face flag football

If you thought rugby players are tough, you’ll be seeing birdies with a reckless game of flag football on wet grass. The cleats should be left in the closet and padding would probably suit you well. Just don’t shatter too many vertebrae, OK?

College Creek innertubing

Grab an iced tea, bust out your inflatable ducky and coast down College Creek when the water is at its highest point. It’s hardly the Wisconsin Dells, but at least you don’t have to waste any cash, and you can tell people you’ve done it.
