Teach your mom to be ‘one of the boys’

BY BELLA KEYS STAFF WRITER

Dads Weekend is a weekend for the boys, and even if you are not a boy, it’s the weekend to learn about what exactly it means to have a guys’ weekend. Unless, of course, your mom comes along for the ride. My mom insists on coming along to every Dads Weekend, and because of this, my father and I do not get all of the bonding time we would normally. Plus, we don’t always get to truly enjoy what his idea of a dream weekend would be. But this year, things are going to be different. This year I’m going to teach my mom what it takes to be one of the guys. In fact, my father is going to show both of us what he would do on the best weekend of his life.

The first step in teaching my mother how to be one of the boys is to make her feel like one of the boys. After some careful research into the minds of men, I have learned being one of the guys comes with some essential activities.

The first activity is the handshake. Even your dad may not have heard of this, so it’s a perfect time to teach him as well. This handshake is called the “dap” and it works like a handshake, but then you slap hands like a horizontal high five. Then keeping your hands together, you do a hand hug and pull your arms in for a real hug.

A real man hug is more like lightly ramming your chests into each other with a slap on the back. Before you go out in the morning, make sure your parents practice doing this together until they can dap it up with style. After you’ve mastered the handshake, you guys can head out to a bar, pub or restaurant that shows sports on their TVs. Once you’ve arrived, make sure you get a spot with a clear view of a TV, order some beers and enjoy a casual discussion about sports. If your mom does not know anything about sports (which mine does not), your father can explain it to her, making it a fun bonding experience. Finally, you’ve taught your mother how to become one of the boys, and this has been a perfect beginning to your father’s fantasy weekend.

A fun activity that can include both your mom and dad for Dads Weekend would be letting your parents pick each other’s outfits before you head out to the events for the day. A great start to this would be keeping this idea a secret until they reach the University, so that no one can pack outfits specifically for this occasion.

Then once your parents have come to school, you can surprise them with this fantastic idea.

The basic rules behind this are you give your mom your dad’s suitcase and vice versa. Then they will choose each other’s outfits for the day and everyone must wear them out. It will be a fun way to celebrate the weekend and keep everyone included in the festivities. Hopefully, your parents will be adept at outfit-choosing and pick something each one would feel comfortable wearing. But if not, these new outfits will add a hilarious twist to the weekend.

A staple of Dads Weekend is the tailgate.

BELLA KEYS THE DAILY ILLINI

Bella Keys and her father stand in front of a sign at the Alpha Chi Omega house. Bella enjoys bonding with both her parents each Dads Weekend.

There will be a football game going on, and you guys can enjoy the day by grilling out, eating snacks and day drinking. This tailgate may have been set up for dads, but there is no reason your mom won’t enjoy it as well! A great idea to include in your Dads Weekend plans is to have a tailgate led by your mother. She can show him what it means to have a classy tailgate. This means your mom gets to decide on the drinks, food and activities. So, a fantastic way to start the morning would be with mimosas. There is no drink classier than mimosas, and they are effortless to make. Just pop some champagne and add some orange juice!

In my opinion, the less OJ, the fancier your day

Another great way to entertain your parents while also staying true to the theme of a boy’s weekend is to play some drinking games. Some classic drinking games most men love are beer pong and beer darts. If your dad went to college, I’m sure he knows how to play beer pong, as this is a staple of college life. That also means odds are your mom knows it, too. Plus, the best way to play beer pong is not with two guys but instead with one master (your dad) and his beautiful lady by his side (your mom). In case you don’t know how to play, I will do a quick overview of the rules. First, you set up ten cups on each side of the table in a triangular formation. Then once you’ve set these cups up, you fill them with beer (if you really want this to be reminiscent of college, fill them up with Natural Light). After the cups have been filled, you need to find four players. There are two people to a team, and each person on the team gets a ping pong ball. The first thing you do is have everyone throw the balls into the other team’s cups and whoever gets one in first starts the game. This game is simple; there is only one rule, which is to try and sink your balls into the other team’s cups. Once you successfully get a cup, someone on the opposing team will pick that cup up, drink it and take it out of the formation. The first one to get their balls in all of the other team’s cups wins!

Another fun drinking game notorious in college would be beer darts. This is a great game to play with your parents because you can put them on their own team. Now, this is not normally a team game, but it absolutely can be, as it will prevent anyone from getting too drunk and give them both enjoyment. The rules for this game are simple. First, you create a circle of players; there can be as many as you want, everyone is welcome. Then, each player puts a beer down in front of their feet. Now here comes the fun part. Darts are passed around (you only need one or two), and each player takes a turn throwing that dart at another player’s beer. If the dart punctures the other player’s beer, then that player has to drink their beer down to a level past the puncture hole. If your beers get punctured fast and low down, it can be a good idea to keep your parents on a team so they can take turns drinking and keep their entertainment level high! I hope these games are similar to the ones your dad loved in college and that they help make the weekend exciting for both of your parents.

These are ideas that are exciting and inclusive of everyone’s tastes. So go out with both your parents this weekend and create memories that include parts of both of them (although mostly your dad). Having your mom is not a setback at all, but a way to spice up the weekend instead.

It will be an excellent time regardless of what happens, and I hope all three of you will get the full experience you’re hoping for.

will be. The next crucial step in a tailgate is the food. Now, if you’re letting your mom choose, let her add some refined food to the classic male-dominated tailgate. Maybe she will bring some finger sandwiches coupled with a few stylish lobsters and wrapped versions of pigs in a blanket. Following the food and drink is the conversation. If you want to include your mom, the conversation does not have to be dominated by sports. Instead, you can talk about things she enjoys, such as the decor of the stadium and her opinions on the football players’ uniforms.

Keep the conversation light, the drinks flowing and snacks on hand, and you are sure to have Bella is a Junior in LAS. a wonderful tailgate! ikeys2@dailyillini.com

The Weekend goes on without dad

or a friend that lives elsewhere. It can be hard to plan visits, especially at this time of year. You can use the time others block out for Dads Weekend to have time for yourself.

This can also be a good time for you to bond with other family members. You can turn Dads Weekend into a family weekend and get everyone you love involved. There are so many family-friendly events people of all ages can enjoy, like good old Saturday football or waking up on a Sunday morning to participate in the 5k. If everyone ends up being busy or the distance is too far, try to tag along with a friend for the weekend. This is a great way to bond with your friend’s family and show them how good of an influence you are on their sweet child (even if that is the furthest thing from the truth). Dad jokes also seem to be better when it’s not your actual dad nailing the punch line, so enjoy those laughs and the second-hand embarrassment that comes with in.

Even if your father is not visiting, try not to feel down. Instead, make this weekend your own by tailoring it to suit your needs.

There are plenty of ways to get involved and embrace others during this annual fall affair.

BY CHRISTINE SHERIFF CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The leaves are changing, and soon, dads from all over will be visiting campus to enjoy a weekend of fun with their kids. Dads Weekend is a way to spend quality time with your old man and show him how great our University is. Parents weekends, like Moms Weekend in the spring, are traditions many enjoy participating in during their four years at the University. However, for some, parents weekends can be a time of anxiety and stress when all of their friends have parents visiting, and they do not. It’s okay if you don’t have your father visit that first weekend in November. In fact, plenty of students are not able to have their father figure visit due to a variety of reasons.

If you find yourself in this predicament, invite some friends to campus for the weekend and give them the grand tour. Because the University has many interactive events planned already, this is a great way for your friends from another college to get an exciting take on our campus. You can watch in awe at the mobs of middle-aged men reliving their glory days at the bars without feeling the embarrassment of it being your own father. If you aren’t fond hosting others, take the weekend for yourself, and go visit home

The first Dads Day celebration is printed in Illio Yearbook in 1922. The University of Illinois Dads Association was founded in 1922 and claims to be one of the first parent programs in the country,

with their “King Dad” tradition having been practiced for over thirty years.

We go way back: rich history of Dads Weekend

BY NICHOLAS BECKHAM CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Friday starts the 2019 Dads Weekend, which will last until Sunday. While several events will take place, registrations aren’t required to participate in all of these events. Some events are free, and some, like the athletic events, may require tickets. Because of this, it is recommended to make a plan in advance.

The University of Illinois Dads Association was founded in 1922, making it just a few years shy of a century old. This organization claims to be one of the first parent programs in the country. This program’s “King Dad” tradition has been practiced for over thirty years. In this event, participating students are encouraged to nominate their fathers and explain why they

are the most supportive and deserving of the award. The winner is announced on Saturday and is given awards, such as free tickets to Dad’s Weekend events.

This weekend will also include the IlliniDads 5K. This race is promoted for leisure, not competition. Other than football, which is traditional to Dads Weekend, there are other sports events, such as volleyball. There are various cultural events as well, which are listed on the University website.

These games and events will all contribute to raising money for the IlliniDads. The purpose of this organization is to support students on campus. Participating in the weekend events is a great way to both have fun and support the school. Approximately $20,000,

according to the IlliniDads website, is collected and distributed every year. Their support includes $2,000 scholarships for students and grants for RSOs ranging from $500-$20,000.

Information for applying can be found on their website.

Overall, the responsibilities for IlliniDads organization includes organizing Dads Weekend and financial aid. They welcome and encourage new members to join, and any father or father figure of a student at the University is considered to be eligible. They have an organized group of board members who run elections for leadership positions within the organization.

Aside from their main functions, the IlliniDads also occasionally post informative arti-

cles on their website, including information about moving in and the best places to go shopping on campus. They also sell merchandise for those who are interested. Other than its website, the organization runs a Facebook page and a Twitter account.

Dads Weekend can be a great event for the family, though individual students can and are welcome to participate. Taking part in the events are great ways to support the IlliniDads, who have historically supported students and the school. The University can be supported in ways other than donations, but Dads Weekend provides a fun way to give back.

Show appreciation for your dad this weekend

BY MEGHAN LYONS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Next weekend, thousands of students will have their dads or parental figures come to campus for Dads Weekend. For some, Dads Weekend is a time where fathers get the opportunity to relive their college days. For others, it can be quality time spent with friends and parents. And for some, including myself, it is a time to be thankful. Without helpful advice and encouragement from my dad, I would not be here writing this article today.

At the beginning of my high school experience, college did not seem like an option for me. I did not have confidence I would get into a good school. I obtained decent grades, but I felt like I was not a good enough student and lacked motivation. My dad helped to change my perspective.

When my dad was growing up, my grandparents did not encourage him to go to college, and they did not teach him the value of higher education. His only ticket into college was a football scholarship at a small Catholic school in Joliet, Illinois, called the University of St. Francis. Juggling football, academics and social life all became increasingly difficult for my dad. As a result, he dropped out of college.

My dad met my mother, and they were

engaged four months after meeting. After becoming engaged, my dad went back to college to finish his degree to help support my older siblings. At the age of 29, my dad finally graduated from college with his degree.

My dad always stressed the importance of attending college to me and my siblings. From a young age, we were required to give away portions of money received from relatives and friends for him to store away in our savings.

This always bugged me when I was younger, and even at times made me resent him. As soon as each of us turned sixteen, we were required to get jobs and start saving. As time passed on, I became frustrated. I began asking myself things like, “Is college really worth it if I have to work all the time?” and “Why do I have to work now when I have my entire life to work?” Nothing seemed to make sense to me.

None of it did until that day in December when I opened up my admission decision to see my computer light up in orange. I remember the big white words crystal clear: “Congrats, Meghan!

You’re an Illini!”

As a sophomore currently halfway done with my third semester at the University, I now understand why my dad pushed me for all those years. Katie, my older sister, graduated from Loyola University in Chicago and is current-

ly working as a full-time nurse in the city. My brother John just graduated this year from the University with a degree in Economics. My other brother, Michael, is finishing his last year of college at Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois, as well as his final year of being a decathlete.

Without my father’s unwavering commitment and passion for receiving a higher education, none of us would be where we are today.

Although we have extremely similar personalities and tend to clash a lot, I view Dads

Weekend as an opportunity to give back to him.

Without my dad, I would not be able to witness one of the biggest upsets in college football history against Wisconsin on Oct. 19, when James McCourt kicked the winning field goal against the clock. And maybe, just maybe, we will be able to witness the upcoming win against Rutgers this weekend.

Students share some favorite dad memories

BY SONAL SINGH STAFF WRITER

For many of us, our father figures are our childhood superheroes, the ones rushing to our aid for the smallest concerns. This weekend provides us with the perfect opportunity to reminisce about our favorite memories of our dads. Here’s what students across campus had to say about their most memorable moments with their dads.

Maria Sajan, sophomore in Engineering, said her favorite memory of her dad is one that comes up during family dinners all the time. “(I remember) the time I came back home after vacation with the rest of my family only to find that my dad had remodeled the entire house, got three satellites on the roof and a flat-screen TV for the living room,” Sajan said.

She talked about how amusing it was and how since then, her house is referred to as the one with three satellites.

Harsh Deep, sophomore in LAS, shared the one thing he remembers most about his dad.

“When I was in fifth grade, we were doing QBASIC, a very clunky (programming) language that was quite old,” Deep said. “I wanted to get a new game that had just come out.

After asking my dad, he said he would get me the game if I completed a task ... And so, he gave me the task of generating n Fibonacci numbers, much harder than what we were doing in school. It took me the entire weekend ... but he refused to help me but still gave me a few website links. It was pretty fun, and I just kept asking him for more. I never really ended up playing the game, but I still talk to him nearly daily about what I am doing in Computer Science.”

Prerana Kiran, sophomore in Engineering, said her most memorable moment of her father is from her childhood. “One memory I think about a lot is from when we went to an Egyptian museum that featured a lot of exhibits from a documentary we had watched earlier that year about ancient Egyptian rulers,” Kiran said. “When I recognized the models of some temples at Luxor, my dad and I essentially fan-girled over them. I think this is one of my fondest memories because it is something we bonded over and for the first time really talked about something we had in common: a love for learning and an appreciation for history.”

Inhoo Kim, freshman in AHS, said one of his favorite memories, although slightly random, is one that he thinks back to a lot. “A few years ago, we were playing around and ended up getting in a physical play fight,” Kim said. “This moment comes to mind all the time just because it was super fun and made us laugh”.

Swati Bishnoi, a student in Law, shared her favorite memory of her father.

KAITLIN MIKRUT THE DAILY ILLINI

“(I remember) when I decided to pursue my career as a lawyer because he is a lawyer too.” Bishnoi said. “This was an important time for both of us because he guided me all through the process and motivated me to pursue my master’s degree here at

the University.”

Regardless of whether your dad visits you for this weekend, take this weekend to bond with him over funny incidents from your past or your future plans. Make sure you spend some quality time with him, whether it’s in-

person attending events on campus or over the phone, just asking about his day.

Fill your belly without emptying your wallet $$ - DESTIHL

You’ve already tailgated and watched the game with your dad. Now it’s Sunday and your dad wants to end his visit by treating you to a hearty breakfast before it’s back to dorm food or cooking for yourself. Take a look at these popular breakfast and brunch spots in ChampaignUrbana to help bring Dads Weekend to a delicious close.

301 N. Neil St., Champaign Until 2 p.m. on the weekends, you can enjoy a gourmet brunch at DESTIHL, a modern brewpub and restaurant in downtown Champaign.

Most of these restaurants fill up fast when all of the dads come to town, so if you’re not an early riser and you don’t feel like waiting, you might have to settle for a McDonald’s or Steak ‘n Shake breakfast. But when it comes to spending precious time with your dad, the choice of what food to get isn’t the most important on the menu.

Celebrate with your anti-Dads Weekend dad

BY SHIVALI SHUKLA STAFF WRITER

My dad hates driving. He also doesn’t like being in crowds, talking to strangers or waiting in long lines. He’s the kind of person who can walk into a Costco and come out in less than five minutes with a full of everything he needs.

He’s a simple, efficient man who knows what he wants and doesn’t try to complicate things. I’ve never asked him to come down for Dads Weekend when I know the lines are long, the streets are busy and the stores are loud. I know if I really wanted him to, he’d make the trip down. But I also know he’d be out of his comfort zone. Here are some things to do for the dad, like mine, whose cup of tea might not include Dads Weekend festivities, but who (of course) still deserves to be appreciated.

Invite him down for a quieter weekend on campus

For the dad who particularly doesn’t enjoy the crowds and the long lines, inviting him down for a regular weekend is a great option. You can still visit the same restaurants, go to the same bars and see the same attractions. You can ride the Illini Pubcycle any weekend. The lack of an official “Dads Weekend” label doesn’t take away from the fact that you’re still celebrating and appreciating him.

Go home for the weekend.

It’s Dads Weekend, right? So for the dad who might just miss you and want to spend some quality time with you at home, perhaps surprising him with a visit and offering to do the things he loves in your hometown might make the weekend feel just as special, if not more.

Take him around some “unpopular” attractions

Visiting a place like Curtis Orchard on Dads Weekend is probably not as popular as watching Illinois play Rutgers in the football game on Saturday morning, but it still can be memorable and even reminiscent of your childhood. Host your own barbecue at your apartment complex or outdoors rather than buying tickets to eat at the crowded ARC, or take him on a jog through your favorite parks in lieu of participating in the Sunday Dads Weekend 5K. You can go down to the Japan House and enjoy the picturesque view of the autumn leaves while catching up on some precious dad-time, or just walk along one of the quads to appreciate our campus history.

SHIVALI SHUKLA THE DAILY ILLINI

Shivali Shukla is being held by her father at a young age. While Shukla’s father might not enjoy participating in Dads Weekend festivities, she shows that there is more than one way to enjoy the weekend with your father.

Share a drink in the comfort of your apartment

Who says you have to go wait in long lines to hit the bars with your dad? Crack open a beer or let your dad teach you how to make cocktails in the comfort of your own home. Turn on your

favorite childhood movie or play the ‘80s hits your dad loves and just relish in the rare oneon-one time we college students hardly get to experience with our dads anymore.

When it comes down to it, Dads Weekend is really only about one thing: you and your dad. It doesn’t really matter how you celebrate it or if you even choose to celebrate it on this particular weekend. The point is to spend the time you both

deserve together, and that can be done wherever, whenever or however you both decide. There’s no wrong way to do Dads Weekend, and no calendar of events should dictate what you choose to do together. Only you two can plan the perfect weekend, even for the anti-Dads Weekend dad.
