Hi freshman!

Have you ever wondered how would it be like to have a sleepover with your friends? Would it for once be nice to spend a fun evening with a hangover-free next morning?
Now´s the chance! OTY is organizing a freshmen slumber party on Wednesday 13.11. starting at 18:00! So, get your comfiest loungewear and head to Teekkaritalo (Teekkarihouse) to spend a nice, relaxed evening with the other freshmen. The plan is to play boardgames and console games, watch movies and go to the sauna for example. You also have the option to sleep over at Teekkari house so if you will, pack your necessities for spending the night as well as a mattress for the floor bedding.

Some snacks are available, but you should take some cash with you if you want to order food together etc.

Rudimentary plan for the evening:
18:00 Chilling, playing games
18:30 Movie number 1
20:30 Movie number 2

There are multiple board games to play throughout the evening and you are welcome to play those also in between movies. Bring your own board- or card game as well! The sauna will be warm so take your towel with you.

We leave the house the next morning at 8:00 am to go to morning lectures.

The event is for the first-year students of organizing association.
