9 Moments From Galway's Rag Week We Can All Relate To
The unofficial NUIG and GMIT Rag Week is as popular as ever and has become a right of passage for students living in Galway. Here's a snippet of what happened on Donegal Tuesday and over the course of Rag Week and we can relate to them all:
1. As usual, the queue for the Hole in The Wall was a party in itself as any queue for a nightclub generally is:
Aaahhh, we all did it (!) #DonegalTuesday sees #Galway #Freshers queue literally round the block to go on the lash at 10am! #NUIG #RagWeek #GMIT ? pic.twitter.com/fy7IDnBVdB

2. Some students got the formula of rag week down to a tee and it might be more important than the Pythagoras theorem:
Galway RagWeek= drink/ Sleep and Chicken Fillet rolls

3. You realise you're actually too broke to be even at 'Donegal Tuesday' but you'll continue, whatever life throws in your way:
I was stood at at atm in Galway today listening to two students compare broke stories. One had his Donegal jersey on for #DonegalTuesday and they laughed as the atm gave them nothing. Oh the good old days at @nuigalway

4. Turning up wearing the wrong outfit is something we've all experienced at least once:

5. It's gotten so wild they've had to hire bouncers at Supermacs but its inspired Irish television:

6. And it could be because of the absolute stupidity we all possess after a few too many:
One year ago today I guy was dressed as Jesus and another was climbing a pole in front of supermacs #ragweek pic.twitter.com/0BTTLEIjre

8. There's always someone trying to keep it classy:
I've seen it all now.. Someone eating #Supermacs with actual cutlery. A proper fork and knife... #Galway #EyreSquare ?

9. And we can all relate to this tweet:
