There are student flats… and then there’s your flat — the one that becomes the official pre-party, the JuerMEX headquarters and where every plan starts (even if it doesn’t always end there). Want to turn your tiny place into the mecca of good drinking? Take notes, MEXlover.

1. Build the MEX Altar

First things first: the sacred tequila corner.

Save a shelf, bookcase or even a recycled fruit crate and decorate it like a shrine: LED lights, photos from past parties, crazy glasses, the weirdest bottle you own…

Don’t forget the perfectly lined-up miniMEX bottles — like war medals.

2. Party lights (without turning it into a sketchy after)

Forget the white ceiling light. If you want your flat to feel like an underground club, change up the lighting:

LED garlands, lava lamps, colored spotlights or even a cheap disco ball from a bazaar.

The key: party vibes without making your living room look like a parking lot.

3. The Speaker as a Totem

Non-negotiable: whoever controls the speaker, controls the party.

Have the official MEX playlist ready — full of reggaeton, generational bangers and guilty pleasures.

Pro tip: name the DJ of the night before chaos begins.

4. Games to Break the Ice (and Your Dignity)

Your flat has to be the place where the fun spirals out of control in the best way. For that:

• Always keep cards, dice, paper and pen handy to improvise a “Never Have I Ever”, “Truth or Shot” or “Who’s Most Likely To…”.
• You can also set up a shot roulette on your Stories (wink wink).

5. The Hangover-Friendly Protocol

If you’re turning your flat into ground zero of the madness, you also need to think about the morning after:

Sparkling water, coffee, extra mattresses, blinds down and a resurrection playlist.

Bonus tip: put a little sign in the bathroom that says, “If you survive, there’s pizza in the fridge.”

6. Decorate with Memories (the Cringe-Worthy Kind)

Photos, sticky notes with iconic quotes, costume accessories, empty bottles… anything goes if it tells stories from past nights.

Let your flat speak of parties, not textbooks.

🎉 And remember: it doesn’t matter if you live in 40 m² with textured walls and hand-me-down furniture. With the right attitude, a speaker and MEX in the fridge, you can build the JuerMEX temple you deserve.
