For decades, parents have worried that their college kids were having TOO MUCH fun at parties. 🍻
Now apparently they have a whole new problem:
What if their kids AREN’T having enough fun?! 😂
Because the latest trend hitting college campuses is something called a “wellness darty.” 🤨
And yes… this is apparently a real thing.
🎉 So What Exactly Is a “Darty”?
A darty is short for “daytime party.”
They’re nothing new. Traditionally, a darty means music, hanging out, friends, and… probably a questionable amount of alcohol before dinner. 🍺☀️
But the WELLNESS DARTY takes that concept and completely flips it.
Instead of waking up Saturday morning and wondering what happened last night…
You’re waking up and asking:
“Who wants to do Pilates?” 🧘♀️😭
🧘♀️💪 What’s At a Wellness Darty?
Apparently, the itinerary can include:
🧘 Pilates or yoga🏃♂️ A run🧊 An ice bath🥤 Protein shakes and smoothies☕ Coffee or matcha afterward
So instead of stumbling out of a fraternity house at noon…
You’re leaving with sore glutes, a cold plunge headache, and a $9 matcha. 😂
🏫 These Aren’t Just Tiny Wellness Colleges
And here’s the wild part: wellness darties are reportedly becoming popular at schools like:
🌴 University of Miami🐊 University of Florida🏈 Florida State University🍊 Syracuse University🐘 University of Alabama
So you could walk down fraternity row and see something completely different than you’d expect.
Instead of kids playing beer pong…
You might see a bunch of college students sitting on the lawn with yoga mats, protein shakes, and smoothies. 🧘♂️🥤
Someone’s talking about their run club. 🏃
Someone else is hyping up the weekend plans.
And then somebody goes:
“Yo, who’s trying to hit REI before we go backpacking?” 😂🥾
REI?!
BRO, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FRAT HOUSE?! 😭
🍻➡️🧊 From Beer Pong to Ice Baths
It’s basically the college-party experience getting a wellness makeover.
The old darty:
☀️ Wake up🍺 Start drinking🎶 Music🍕 Food🍺 More drinking🤷♂️ Figure out the rest later
The wellness darty:
☀️ Wake up🏃♂️ Go for a run🧘♀️ Do Pilates🧊 Sit in an ice bath🥤 Drink something with 47 grams of protein☕ Get a matcha😴 Be in bed by 9:30
Honestly, somewhere a college parent is reading this and thinking:
“FINALLY! MY CHILD IS MAKING GOOD DECISIONS!” 😂
Meanwhile, the college kid is probably thinking:
“Yeah Mom, we’re partying all day. We’re just… hydrating now.” 💀
The college party apparently isn’t dead.
It just has a cold plunge now. 🧊🎉
