What is the Last Cup Scaries? It’s a moment that all beer pong players have experienced at one point or another. Nine cups down and only one to go. The finish line is in sight, but one miss leads to another and suddenly the pressure begins to build… the last cup scaries are alive and real! The phrase “last cup scaries” was coined by the founders during a game of beer pong and quickly became popular with other students.

However, the phrase soon came to mean more---it evolved to symbolize all the pressures that college students face during their time in school. Pressure to succeed in the classroom, pressure to fit in socially, and pressure to professionally network for a coveted job.

Here at Last Cup Scaries Co. our goal is to encourage students to embrace the challenges and force themselves to step outside their comfort zones. We seek to provide guidance on how to handle the pressure and give tips for navigating the three key areas of college: academic, social, and professional. A common misconception is that to thrive in one aspect you must sacrifice another.

Four years of college may seem like forever, but before you know it you’ll be walking across the stage at graduation. So during your time in school try to embrace the challenges that make you feel uncomfortable and remember to enjoy the moment.

Don’t let the last cup win!
