Festivals are crazy, but student festivals are even crazier. Lentedag is an anthropological phenomenon. Post-test week means we are exploiting the bars, blasting the speakers, rolling the joints, and ready for a good time. You can feel Lentedag in the Hatfield air. Between getting lost in the sauce, running into exes, witnessing unimaginable crossover episodes, hitting up the Strip, tearing it up at the Good Vibes Only stage, and capturing your canon Main Stage multi-colour shading pic, there are bound to be some crazy stories. It’s a wild, once-off special, so let’s hear the insane experiences from the students themselves.
“My buddy, “J”, lost his phone, wallet and dignity.”
“I got head in the bushes from this girl.”
“Saw a girl do some cocaine off her finger at the electronic forest.”
“My friend’s phone was stolen when we were in the queue for the bus.”
“I saw the security guard passed out drunk on the floor”
“Got chased by a homeless man.”
“I carried two of my friends. One threw up, one accidentally peed themselves.”
“I saw the alcohol being diluted behind the bar.”
“Yoh I accidentally almost got myself into a throuple.”
“I was offered ecstasy the MOMENT I walked in.”
“I woke up on the side of the road.”
“Lost my phone… after downing vodka from a sketchy water bottle.”
“I walked around afterwards and picked up lip glosses and sunglasses.”
“Off the road, a man jumped out of a BMW, snatched my friend’s phone out of her hand while she was holding up my other friend. Then, he jumped back in the car and screeched off.”
“Someone was high on molly and had to get carried out. I tried to help them, but they BIT me.”
“I hooked up with my Uber driver, she was lowkey the love of my life.”
“My friends got so drunk from pre’s that we left the strip 30 minutes after arriving.”
“This guy was spreading rumors about me, claiming I hooked up with 5 guys in one night, because he had feelings for me. Apparently, we had a “moment” at Jolly’s, but because I got a boyfriend two weeks later, he was pressed.”
Bro, I love Pretoria – the city of wildcards. Our promising party-performance-history really precedes us. Lentedag will see us again next year. Remember to have fun, be safe, and stay somewhat within legal barriers, kiddos.
