O-Week? More like No-Week

ASA confirmed that the “originally planned O-Week” had been cancelled this semester, with president Ben Austin noting that, in lieu of the event, the annual Sex Quiz was held on Wednesday 17 “instead”. The event was originally postponed because of the first lockdown, with the second lockdown causing yet another cancellation.  

One student told Massive that “fuck, it sucks, but let’s face it, the original O-Week wasn’t going to be that big anyway. Last year, some mates of mine just went to Dunners for a rager instead of anything that ASA put on.” Another student said she’s “hopeful” for something in Semester 2, but admits “by then, the purpose is a bit defeated. O-Week is for making friends, that’s why having it in Semester 1 is important.”  

As for clubs' events, Ben says “club events are allowed to take place in Level 1 so it’s up to the clubs when they host their events,” with a rescheduled Clubs Day taking place on 21 April. “Since we only have just got back to Level 1 on Friday, a lot is starting to be in the works again.”  

For all you disappointed freshers out there, just lock yourselves in your bathroom, drink a bottle of vodka and message your high school ex. It’s pretty much an exact replica of O-Week, trust us.
