No one can compare. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">21+ ONLY: Get a beer at the cash bar if you got it like that.

And then let us know. Over here at the BA we are a sweaty demographic. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Try as hard as possible NOT to get kicked out.

Suck it in, stand up straight and if all else fails? Slap a filter on that sucker. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take full advantage of the appetizers and desserts offered. Whatever they offer.

Don\u2019t think about how it\u2019s your last President\u2019s Ball with all of your RC friends, and that you will never have this opportunity again. We mean it. Don\u2019t think about how bittersweet it\u2019ll be. Don\u2019t. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let the good times roll.
