Freshers Fayre

From Frikipedia

Freshers Fayre takes place every first week of each new academic year. If the one at Nottingham University is anything to go by, students going to freshers fayre sign up to a myriad of societies, feigning interest in tennis, poetry or sumo wrestling, in an attempt to make friends.

Once enough friends have been accumulated, everyone quickly decides that it is far easier and more fun to go down the pub instead.
