Friday
Burn Book, Geddes Hall Auditorium @ 7 p.m.
Most, if not all, women on this campus are familiar with the movie "Mean Girls" starring Lindsay Lohan. The University Counseling Center, along with several other offices on campus, will be hosting a "Mean Girls" watch Friday evening, to be followed by a brief dialogue regarding the way young women interact with one another. A prominent part of the movie, the "Burn Book" and its effects on the women in the story will be discussed. This event is part of a weeklong program designed to raise awareness and challenge body image and eating disorder awareness on Notre Dame's campus.
Saturday
Get Your Jams On (Jock Jam Nightclub), Legends @ Midnight
Everyone loves a cheesy dance song from the nineties. And everyone is in luck! Legends is hosting "Get Your Jams On" nightclub Saturday night. They are sure to play such classics as "Whoomp! (There it is)" and "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)." "YMCA" may even make an appearance. No doubt this will be a blast, so bring your friends and get ready to dance all night long to some of the most ridiculous tunes from the last 20 years.
