It’s cuffing season.
Maybe I should clarify that. Cuffing season is the time of year when it gets dark at 5p.m., snow falls, you watch more Netflix and find a cuddle buddy—another human being--not a stuffed animal or a box of Ferrero Rocher. In other words, summer’s over, so people tend to get in relationships.
Still don’t get it? The Urban Dictionary describes cuffing season as “During the fall and winter months people who would normally rather be single or promiscuous find themselves along with the rest of the world desiring to be cuffed or tied down by a serious relationship. The cold weather and prolonged indoor activity causes singles to become lonely and desperate to be cuffed."
But what is there to do when the weather is crap, and your seasonal depression kicks in? Let me give you some suggestions.
5 INEXPENSIVE things to do during cuffing season:
1. Rumour’s Restaurant & Comedy Club
Self explanatory? Pretty much. I’ve been here three times and had a great time. You can go to their website to see the different comedians and their bios. Rumour’s is great for students on a budget because they have “twoferrs” on Tuesday and Thursday. That means you pay $12 in total for you and your date, which leaves more money for drinks and appetizers.
2. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights
Your partner will think you’re smart if you take him/her here. The museum recently opened so chances are they haven’t been here yet. Tickets are $15 each, but students get in for $12—nice. Check it out!
3. Sky Zone
Sky Zone is for the active cuff-ee. It’s an indoor trampoline park—a good jumping, flipping, bouncing, workout place. Sky Zone also has a cube pit—my favourite part! But lets talk money. Sky Zone charges by time, so 30 minutes for $10, 60 minutes for $15, 90 minutes for $20, and if you go any longer you’ll sweat to death.
4. Canad Inns Winter Wonderland
Who doesn’t like Christmas lights? Check out Manitoba’s biggest drive-thru light show. How cute? Just put on some Christmas music, get some hot chocolate and enjoy. Winter Wonderland starts Dec. 5, and is open daily from 6p.m. to 10p.m. Free sleigh rides on the weekends.
5. Check out a game!
We’re all students, and we should be supporting our fellow athletes. Right now it’s hockey, volleyball, basketball, indoor soccer, and futsal season. School games are great because they’re cheap and there’s beer! Students typically pay $2 or $3 a game. You can go with classmates and/or your beloved cuffed one. You can see game schedules on your school website—take a look!
