By Ames247 staff VEISHEA begins Monday, and some of you are likely wondering “What should I do? or “How should I celebrate?” We’re here to help. Completing these tasks ensures you have thoroughly enjoyed the VEISHEA celebration to the fullest extent. For you new students, view this as a guide to enjoying the week — though you can’t enjoy all of the Campustown activity yet. For you VEISHEA veterans, see how much you still have to do before you graduate. Accomplishing absolutely everything here seems rather unlikely, but not impossible. We stole this concept from a piece by Tim Harrower. It was pretty awesome and we couldn’t help but adapt it for VEISHEA.

This is VEISHEA and you are staying in your room all weekend. Get to see campus during the event. You are only at Iowa State for so long.
You’ve lived a little, but it’s nothing to brag about. Let’s change that this year.
Not a bad start. Not boring but nothing to get too excited about. It may be time to hit up those alternative acts, tournaments or classic VEISHEA categories.
You know your way around VEISHEA. You’ve definitely had your share of good times, but a few more points couldn’t hurt. Keep it up.
A well-weathered veteran. You know the ins and outs of the VEISHEA celebration and have stories to tell. Either that or you cheated.
You should have written this survey. Congratulations.
VEISHEA
