Thursday Night Fever
Despite Friday classes, students shut their books and hit the clubs to get an early start on their weekends

Molly Beuerman/SKIFF STAFF Students dance Thursday at Cowboy’s in Arlington.

It’s well past midnight Thursday, any Thursday really, and freshman education major Leanna Gilles has just hit the dance floor at Billy Bob’s Texas for another round of two-stepping. She and the four or five women who came with her will close the club, then head home and to sleep, hopefully by 2 a.m. She really should get to bed as soon as she can. After all, class starts at 8 a.m.
Many TCU students choose to take advantage of Thursday night, despite class Friday morning.
“In college, the weekend starts on Thursday nights,” Gilles said.
Gilles said she usually gets ready at about 10 p.m. and doesn’t even hit the clubs until 11 p.m. She leaves about 1:30 a.m., giving her enough time to catch some sleep before hitting her 8 a.m. Spanish class.
“I’m a little tired (Friday morning), but it’s not horrible,” Gilles said.
Billy Bob’s on Thursday nights has become a tradition for Gilles and her friends, who said she started going to the club the second week she was on campus and has gone every week since.
“There are lots of college students there (on Thursday nights),” Gilles. “Friday and Saturday have more adults.”
