Gallatin In-Class Drinking Game
a student walks in wearing oversized clothes, messy hair, and a coffee cup (but probably still looks cool, tbh)
a student says “the patriarchy”

a student says “capitalism”
a student says “juxtaposition”
a student says “heteronormative” or “cisnormative”
a student says “I have a lot of feelings about this,” and then goes on a rant
a student calls the professor “chill”
the prof. says “Let’s unpack this”
the prof. says “I’m gonna stop talking now” (in reference to the fact that Gallatin classes are heavily discussion-based)
the prof. references “postmodernism”
the prof. calls NYU Classes “Blackboard”
the prof. can’t figure out how to use the video projector
the prof. geeks out over the fact that they have a class filled with weirdos who want to discuss whatever it is you’re discussing
a student brings up the Bechdel test
a student says “the intersection between _______” (i.e. the intersection between race and gender)
a student makes a pop-culture reference during a serious discussion, and everyone laughs
a student says “White/male/cis/straight privilege”
a student says “the racist, sexist patriarchy in which we live”
a student references “the liberal NYU bubble,” or makes a joke about how liberal we all are
the prof. not-so-subtly drags Trump

a student trash talks a movie/show that you’re obsessed with
someone asks what your concentration is
someone asks if you finished your booklist yet
someone asks what you want to do after you graduate
someone invites the class to their improv show/open mic. night/etc.
the discussion gets so philosophical that you start to question why you’re alive
