Several people were arrested and several pieces of furniture were burned yesterday in New Brunswick as Rutgers University students and freelance partiers gathered for the all-day rave that is "Delafest." What's "Delafest," you ask? It's the all-day spring bash that rose from the ashes of Rutgersfest (which was permanently cancelled in 2011 after several shootings and Snooki sightings) like a phoenix with a beer bong strapped to its wings. Below, you can check out several videos and vines of the nightmare partying. Or as sophomore Cortney Ludmer told the Star-Ledger: "It's college. Live a little." Just, you know, don't get set on fire in the process.

Things got so messy, riot police were called in to break up the crowds. “Some of the people acted in defiance of police” called to disperse the crowd of students, said police Capt. J.T. Miller, explaining why cops started pepper spraying kids. "We were walking home and bam!" said Ludmer. "It looked like a fire extinguisher." As for the couch burning, well, it gets cold at night, ya know: "It was seven parties that got out of control," sophomore Gina Pagliaro explained helpfully.
