Take a break from the
books and come play
at Bombay Ranch!
1. DOLLA DOLLA BEERS, YALL!
Who needs happy hour?! Bombay Ranch
serves up $1 draft beers until 11 p.m., seven
days a week! And were not talking warm,
at Keystone. From ice-cold Miller Lite to
Budweiser, Modelo Especial and even Blue
Moon, Shock Top, Landshark and more,
whatever youre diggin, theyve got itat
totally college student-approved prices.
2. LATE-NIGHT FOOD
Whether you need to soak up some alcohol
or just get out of your apartment for a mid-
study sesh snack, their kitchen is open until 11
p.m. every night. (And did we MENTION those
dollar beers to wash it down? Nothin like some
pre-midterm Michelob Ultra, ya know.)
3. POOL PARTIES
Were actually talkin pool tables here, kids.
Three of em. After all, theres no better way
to save valuable book money than a game of
loser-buys-the-beerif youve got pool shark-
esque skills, that is.
4. SWEET ENTERTAINMENT
Bombay Ranch also has awesome DJs or
live music seven days a week. And on the
weekends? San Antonios sexiest go-go
dancers. If theres a better excuse in existence
to get out of your dorm and go out, we havent
found it.
5. SAFETY FIRST
The bar prides itself on its balls-to-the-wall
security team, whos there to ensure that you
can get rowdy and still stay safe on a Saturday
nightlike babysitters, for college kids.

Ah, the glory days: When
you were 17, drinking
Smirnoff Ice in your friends
garage, and it was only
their problem when you
acted like a complete ass
clown. But now that youre
drinking in public, contain
yo' self, aight? Theres a
big diff between talking
shit to your BFF in the
backyard and talking shit
to a bartender and getting
well, backhanded. So read
and learn, because if theres
anyone you want on your
side, its the person making
your drinks.

BE RESPECTFUL
Dont call girls sweetie or guys
chief. Learn bartenders names and
use them. Otherwise, default Oliver
Twist-style and Please SIR, May I Have
Some More the SHIT out of them.
DONT JOKE ABOUT
YOUR AGE
Would you want someone to joke
that theyre underage mid-hookup?
Its the same thing as you joking
about being under 21 to the bartender.
PRACTICE PATIENCE
Imagine 200 21-year-olds screaming
bloody murder at you after waiting 5
minutes for buttery nipples. Annoying,
yeah? So as an imbiber by the bar, cut
busy bartenders some slack, mmkay?
DONT GET BELLIGERENT
Dont wanna get cut off? Dont be an
angry, drunk douchebag. Bartenders
have enough on their plate without
worrying about you trying to punch
anything with a penis.

If your boyfriend were a
superhero, who would you
want him to be?
Really Really Big Man. And no,
thats not innuendo! If any boy
gets this, then I know you grew
up watching cartoons as much
as I did!
What are you initially
attracted to in a man?
A. Eyes
B. Hair
C. Body
D. Personality
E. Other: None of the
above! Super weird,
but eyebrows. If theyre
neatly done, I know he
cares about little things
in his appearance. It
helps me gauge how
clean he is!
If your ideal boyfriend
was a candy bar, would
he be a Good & Plenty,
Mr. Goodbar, a Sugar
Daddy, or some other
brand?
Id want my man to be a
Zagnut. Its an awkward
candy bar, and Im
awkward too. We can be
awkward together!

If you were on a desert island,
what celebrity would you want
to bring with you?
Donald Glover of Childish
Gambino. I mean were already
married, so it wouldnt be
weird, right?
5
What board
game best
describes your
love life?
Rock Jocks,
because I never
win!
6
Whats your guilty
pleasure?
Cartoons! I love
me some Regular
Show. Go away,
Im an adult!

18 STYLES FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR

More than class schedules, 15-page syllabi and waking up before noon
(sometimes), nothing says back-to-school season like a new backpack.
So here weve rounded up 18 styles for that sprint (or walk of shame)

51 WAYS TO BE A BADASS
COLLEGE STUDENT!
YOUR ULTIMATE BACK-TO-SCHOOL GUIDE
WORDS: SAM SUMPTER PHOTOS: PRESS
Because, unlike your roommates for the last
18 years (i.e. your parents), this stranger isnt
required to love you unconditionally
WAYS TO NOT SUCK
AS A ROOMMATE
DONT BE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE
OR AGGRESSIVE
Got a problem? Dont write it on a Post-It. Also, dont
punch your roommate in the face. Act like an adultits
called compromise.
BE CONSIDERATE
Sharing a dorm room? Dont invite your bf over to bang.
Your roommate has a test the next day? Dont invite the
whole oor over for ip cup. Remember the golden rule,
and dont be a douche.

SPLIT COSTS
This is more of an issue in an apartment than a dorm,
but when it comes to utilities, split it down the middle
and dont get fancy with the division. If you only shower
once a week (ew), consider the water bill more of a
body odor fee.
DONT PLAY THE BLAME GAME
Oh mythe bathrooms dirty? Were sure you had, like,
nothing to do with that. Teamwork makes the dream
work, so dont point ngers until you know how to pee
without hitting the toilet seat.
INVEST IN HEADPHONES
Whether its to block out their snoring or save them
from your Nickleback, headphones are an easy, $14 way
to save a roommate relationship.
SHARE RESPONSIBLY
If youre all about renting out your wardrobe to
friends, go for it, but keep in mind its a risk and not
an obligation. If you see pizza stains on their shirt,
dont feel pressured to share yours. And if YOU borrow
something, be sure to return it in perfect condition. And
clean.

COLLEGE CODE WORDS:
DORM ROOM DEFINITIONS 5
RESIDENT ASSISTANT (RA) (n.):
The head honcho on the dorm oor ofcially responsible
for soliciting advice, ruining fun, andoccasionally
handing out condoms
- Brandon felt like his RA was a lot like his grumpy 80-year-old
neighbor at home when she came by, shook her st and said
Hey you kids, cut that out! after receiving the fth noise
complaint.
HOOK UP (v.):
(open to interpretation, often causing confusion) To make
out, practice oral sex, receive oral sex, and/or have sex
- When Allison texted Travis to come over so they could hook
up, he, expecting some below-the-belt action, was very
disappointed upon realizing all she had in mind was an intense
dry humping sesh.
FOAM PARTY (n.):
Rowdy shindig in which large area is lled with suds
and bubbles, facilitating wet and wild behavior often
credited for the contraction of STDs.
- Lauren was shocked when she fought through a wall of foam
on the dance oor, only to nd the fraternity president grinding
furiously on her soaked and slippery roommate.
SYLLABUS WEEK (n.):
A ve-day rainforest genocide in which professors pass
out 3-inch-thick packets of paper and feel the need to
waste everyones time reading them aloud.
- Derrick woke up for the rst day of class really hungover, got
out of bed, threw up in his roommates shoe, and thought to
himself, Eh, its just syllabus weekscrew it, before going back
to bed.
WATCH A MOVIE (v.):
Hook up (see denition above)
- Bobby invited Susie over to watch a movie, and the morning
after, she had to make an emergency trip to the clinic on
campus to have a nurse check out some suspicious bumps
down below.

WAYS TO BE A BADASS

Cause those Hello Kitty mechanical pencils arent gonna cut it anymore
BACK-TO-SCHOOL ESSENTIALS
Because-what-you're still
doodling in a spiral notebook?
Amateur.
Lock your laptop up in the library and
you'll never have to ask a suspicious
stranger to watch your stuff again!
Because managing
your stress via
meditation during
finals? Yeah, there's
an app for that.
Because you're in
college now...and this
is the year you stop
writing your homework
on your hand
There's nothing better than some downward
dog to improve your focus in the classroom-
and flexibility in the bedroom
Polished, professional and
much better looking than a
giant Otter Box
Because your cell
phone charger CAN be
adorable...you're welcome
5
WAYS TO AVOID THE FRESHMAN 15
TAKE A SPORTS CLASS
One way to ensure youll actually work out? Make your grade dependant
on it. The bonus is its also a GPA boosterunless for some godforsaken
reason you manage to fail Aerobics for Beginners.
DRINK WATER
Basic? Duh. But trading your daily Big Gulp for a few glasses of H20
saves hundreds of calories that will be better spent on that free pizza
theyre handing out at the library. And if you need the caffeine for class,
its called black coffee, k?
MAKE FIT FRIENDS
If your new BFFLs prefer hitting the gym to hitting the buffet, odds are
youll join inwithout feeling like youre missing out on any shenanigans.
AVOID ELASTIC WAISTBANDS
We know youre stoked to wear your pajamas to class, but every once
in awhile try on something un-elastic to ensure those midnight snacks
arent sneaking up on you.
DRINK RESPONSIBLY
They dont call it a beer belly for nothing. If youre going to drink, do so
in moderation and use low-cal mixers like club soda, you skinny bitches.

COLLEGE COMMANDMENTS
THOU SHALL:
PRACTICE SAFE SEX
Weve said it once, well say it again:
use protection. Plan B shouldnt be
your Plan A, aight?
THOU SHALT NOT:
HAVE A LONG DISTANCE
RELATIONSHIP
All the airline miles in the world
arent going to help you avoid the
temptation of a post-tequila 2 a.m.
booty call, so do yourself and your
lover a favor and put that puppy love
on pause.











THOU SHALL: GO TO CLASS
Its 50 minutes of your day and you
wont get screwed via missed pop
quiz if you actually show up, so get
your ass out of bed, ya dig?
THOU SHALT NOT:
TAKE TOO MANY HOURS
Were sorryare you trying to kill
yourself?! Chill out, overachiever
unless youre taking classes like
pottery or power walking, dont get
carried away with your course load.










THOU SHALL:
HIT UP THE SALAD BAR
No ones gained the fabled freshman
15 from fennel or the sophomore 17
via spinach, so suck it up and trade
that greasy pizza for some low-cal
kale, mmkay?















THOU SHALT NOT:
STRESS ABOUT A FEW
EXTRA POUNDS
But if you DID indulge at the
buffet, heyits okay! Until they
invent calorie-free cocktails, were
all destined to gain a few alcohol-
induced LBs come college anyway.
THOU SHALL:
JOIN ORGANIZATIONS
The fastest way to nd friends? Hit
up potential homies with the same
interests as you. With thousands of
new faces, theres a bounty of BFF
potentialwhether your interests are
lacrosse, literatureor LARPing.
THOU SHALT NOT: HIBERNATE
IN THY DORM ALL DAY
We get ityour dorms got it all:
TVa mini fridgea roommate who
hopefully doesnt hate youbut it
doesnt count as college if you dont
have some awesome experiences.
Youll need stories to tell your
friends back home, after all, and they
shouldnt involve Ben and Jerry.
THOU SHALL:
DISCOVER THYSELF
Free from hometown friends and
pushy parents, these are four years
where you can experiment and do,
basically, whatever the hell youve
always wanted to do, sans judgment.
We just hope youve got a solid
buffer zone to avoid the dreaded
parental pop-in.

THOU SHALT NOT: CHOOSE A
MAJOR ONE DOES NOT WANT
Whether youre being pressured
into pre-med, encouraged to do
engineering or, for some reason, feel
an obligation to opt for underwater
basket weaving, stop and drop that
major. Being undecided for a few
semesters is a lot better than being
miserable for a lifetime.

YOUR GUIDE TO AN
AWESOME WEEKEND
NOW STUDY UP!
Its that time of the year again, yallACL is here! So
take a break from the books and study something
that actually matters: how you can make the most
of this awesome weekendor, uhh, this year
weekends. From small bands you gotta check out
to what to expect at the biggest shows, important
dos to denite donts, weve got it all here. So read
on and start your pre-fest prep now! (Trust us, its
wayyyy more important than homework.)
WEEKEND 1 VS. WEEKEND 2
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN
ACL
2013
WORDS: SAM SUMPTER
PHOTOS: PRESS
SCAN TO HEAR OUR
AMPED-FOR-ACL
PLAYLIST NOW!
THE EXPERT: Sam Sumpter
Editor, ACL Acionado, and Taco Enthusiast
WEEKEND 1 (OCTOBER 4-6)
Youll get to enjoy the superior been-there-done-that
feelingand your Facebook pics will go up a week
earlier
Theres no chance the bands will bail, having suffered
from heat exhaustion the previous weekend
Zilker will be pristine for a whole 35 minutes before
getting destroyed via stage-to-stage stampedes
Theres no way Mighty Cone will have run out of their
mighty supply yet
Cleaner Porta-Pottiesthe logic might be off here, but
were still convinced
You can force your friends who are going the second
weekend to pick you up
WEEKEND 2 (OCTOBER 11-13)
Its the same weekend as the UT-OU game, which
means a far smaller frat-boy-to-normal-people ratio
If any of your friends have already gone, they can tell
you who blows live and what shows youve gotta see
One week later means its one week more likely not to
be hot as balls
When everyone who went the rst weekend is sad its
over, you have the excitement of a whole weekend
ahead of you
Theres always the possibility of a grand naleand
you LOVE grand nales
You can force your friends who went the rst weekend
to pick you up, duh

THE BIG BANDS

football-eld distance from the stage

singing the words to songs you dont
knowya knowexcept that oneabout
being close to someoneor something
DEPECHE MODE: People older than
you singing the words to songs you
dont knowNo really, you know none.
Viva la 80s?
KINGS OF LEON: A mix of

FUN.: 3,000 people whove only heard
We are Young and bitter fans who

10 ACL DOS & DONTS
FIND YOUR NEW FAVES
DO: Bike or Bus
DONT: Drive
The denition of hell? Trafc during ACL. With
public transportation and the glorious two-wheeled
phenomenon known as the bicycle, theres no reason to
have a where-the-hell-am-I-going-to-park-my-favorite-
band-comes-on-in-ten-minutes panic attack.
DO: Roll With Low-maintenance Friends With
the Same Music Taste as You
DONT: Bring Whiners Who Only Like Lady
GaGa
ACL is the most wonderful time of the year, so dont
weigh yourself down with pop-loving princesses who are
going to whine about the heat, the crowds, and the lack
of bros in Abercrombie.
DO: Go With the Flow
DONT: Be a Schedule Psycho
Even if you plan every moment of the three days down
to the bathroom break, remember: shit happens. (Ha.)
Whether its an unplanned additional 10 minutes in line
for booze or an extra encore, just go with the ow.
DO: Respect People in the Crowd
DONT: Fight Your Way to the Front Row
No one believes the old my friend is up there excuse.
If you havent camped out by the stage for three hours,
youre gonna get decked in the face. People get CrAzY.
DO: Discover New Bands
DONT: Stick to the Big Names
Everyone and their mom will be at Muse (#COOL), but
theres nothing better than being an early fan when the
next big thing hits the mainstream in six months.

THIS WINTER BREAK, WOULD YOU RATHER
Careen down the mountainside
on your snowboard, busting ips
and impressing babes
OR
Drive your moms minivan around
the cul-de-sac
Wave your hands in the air like
you just dont care while Chingy
tells you he likes the way you do
it right thurr, right thurr
OR
Listen to your Grandpa tell stories
about walking to school 10 miles
in the pouring rainuphill both
ways, of course
Shotgun beers on the slopes with
college kids your age
OR
Sip on Capri Suns on the couch
with your 8-year-old brother
Get rowdy in a hot tub with some
hot babes
OR
Take a cold shower (solo) since
your siblings used up all the hot
water
Ski and snowboard all day and
party all night
OR
Sleep all dayand, uhh, sleep all
nightin a twin-sized bed...with
your snoring sister

TEGAN AND SARA @ LONESTAR
PAVILION AT SUNSET STATION
If you dont already know who Tegan and
Sara are, GTFO, because these lesbian,
identical twin sisters from Canada
are the best thing to happen to synth
pop rock since, like, ever. Provocative,
sincere, and talented as hell, their songs
are lled with the fuel of two women
who make no apologies. Lyrically they
deal with love, rejection, self-doubt and
self-acceptance. Dont miss the feels on
September 14th at Lonestar Pavilion.

TV
Grey's Anatomy
Expected Season 10 Premiere:
September 26
Were buzzing less about Greys Anatomy
than we are the fact that its managed
to last 10 seasons. We gotta admit we
stopped watching circa when Katherine
Heigl got Knocked Up, and at some
pointthere were ghosts or something?
Either way, it's Sandra Oh's last season
and Dr. McDreamy isnt gettin any
dreamier, so hop on that bandwagon now!
WHAT WERE OMG-ING OVER RIGHT NOW!

Freshman girls.
Youre once again only required to do stuff
for 3 or 4 hours a day, unless youre a nerd
and actually do the required reading for
class.
Another year closer to the real world, which
means you resolve to rage even harder than
the year before.
That new pledge class smell. That smell is
fear, by the way.
The fraternity house is sort of clean.
Spending your textbook money on
whatever cool shit the bookstore is selling.
Yes, yes you do need an X-Box for every TV
in your house.
You can once again eat 3,000 calories and
pump your BAC up to .24 for roughly $17,
combined.
You no longer need the excuse of a holiday
to start drinking around noon and continue
for the next fourteen hours.
All the women are between 18 and 22, they
all wear as little clothing as possible, theyre
as excited to see you as you are them, and
none of them are your mom.
Youll be able to maintain your higher
summer income because you saved all your
Adderall and now have 3 months worth to
bring back to school and sell. You didnt do
this? WHY DID YOU NOT DO THIS???
10 BEST THINGS ABOUT
GETTING BACK TO COLLEGE

youre out on a date?

Whats the creepiest move a guy has
ever tried to pull on you?

To travel the world.
All-time favorite TFM or TSM?
If something bad happens you drink to forget, if something
