After what feels like forever, the Village Green is finally open for use. Now, the only thing left to do is to find something to do in the new facilities. Well, during Days of Play (11–13th Oct) Arc is hosting a bunch of fun stuff to kick off our list.
During Days of Play (11–13th Oct) **fun serious family-friendly ideas**
Obviously, play some sports and make friends.
Join some clubs. A few societies include Ultimate Frisbee, Taekwondo, Outdoors Club, Basketball, Boxing, and Quidditch.
Get yourself some free merch.
Chow down on some food including doughnuts, and anything on the BBQ.
Pray your BeReal notif goes off while you're at the new bouldering wall, running track, outdoor gym, multi-purpose courts, basketball half-court, or all-weather field.
Win some CA$H MONEY as part of the Days of Play: Amazing Race.
Book out the multi-purpose courts to play the least popular sports. For example, snail racing, esports, or extreme ironing.
See how far you can do the worm on the Village Green running track.
Vape on the sidelines of the running track while people are exercising and insist you’re still fit.
Stand at the bottom of the bouldering wall and mansplain how to use it correctly.
Same as #10, but make sure your mansplaining is entirely incorrect.
Be at the basketball court at all hours of the day, but only play Tlachtli.
Spend every waking moment of your day befriending Frankie the Fox.
Take a nap on the all-weather field.
Train Frankie the Fox to steal valuables from people napping on the field.
Sell stolen valuables by the Main Walkway.
Run around on the astroturf with Campus Security.
Get tired of running and eat some Stellini's in the sun. Then burn your mouth because it was too hot.
While your pasta cools, take an online course in necromancy so you can make some friends.
Start a cult with your new friends.
Write a UNSW Love Letter post when your friends leave you for someone better.
Seek shelter under the bouldering wall when it rains.
Oh… it flooded. Go swimming?
"Watch" your online lectures in the Law Library and actually watch people living their best life on the soccer field. Maybe cry too?
Practice backflips by the Outdoor Gym.
Take a victory lap around the running track because you're hyped for the release of Taylor Swift's tenth studio album, Midnights.
Pretend you’re a spider on the bouldering wall and scare the shit out of people.
Use the markings on the soccer field as a sigil to summon a literal demon.
Play some drinking games involving the Outdoor Gym Equipment because uni doesn't matter and you're only doing this degree to make your family proud, but tbh you're tired.
Realise you're doing great, and lay down on the field with some friends and go stargazing.
After Days of Play **spicier suggestions**
Caleb Burke is studying Physics and Philosophy because he likes the shows Young Sheldon and The Good Place. In his spare time, he is probably drafting spreadsheets or wasting money on bubble tea. He is also a simp for Taylor Swift. Stream her upcoming album, Midnights on October 21st on Spotify & Apple Music xoxo.
