10 Stages Of Going Out In Salina

Because what else is there to do besides drink in this town?

People always ask at work on Fridays: "What do you have going on this weekend?" Well...we live in Salina, Kansas; once you're out of middle school, hanging out at the mall, going to the movies, or bowling just aren't the "hot spots" anymore. You've turned to the bars once you've reached that legal age of 21, and we all know how those nights typically go.

1. The decision on whether to stay in or go out

We all do it: tell ourselves that we're going to stay in this weekend. All week we have the intentions of staying in, until it's Saturday night and your pals blow up the group text with the plans.

2. The kick back

You can't just show up at the bar willingly sober in Salina on a Saturday night. You're bound to run into a few people you would have been better off not seeing. Whether you're getting ready with your girls and having a few drinks or over at the pals putting a few back before 10:30 p.m. or later hits, drinks before the bar are necessary. They totally save you from spending more at the bar, right?

3. The first few drinks at the bar

Okay, kick back has you feeling a little loose. Just another drink or two, and I'll be good. I'm not trying to spend a bunch of money tonight.

4. SHOTS!

Hahahahaha, you thought wrong. Your liver is loving this, and you can't just leave your friends! Netflix is always streaming your latest binge watch; drink up!

5. Let's dance! Outlaws?!

If you've ever gone to Outlaws sober, I don't believe you're human. I need copious amounts of alcohol to get myself to function like a normal Outlaws being. Drunk me loves Outlaws though, as much as I hate to admit it.

6. Panchos

Every Saturday night after 2:00 p.m. hits and all the bars close, Panchos is packed. Drunk food at it's finest, because, quite frankly, Russell's service sucks and iHop is too formal. Plus, Mexican food is the bomb.

7. Someone gets upset

Nine times out of ten one of your friends gets upset with another for something petty, and the night just kinda goes to poop. Even worse if they decide fighting is the way to make it all better.

8. Beddddddd <3

Home, sweet, home

9. Hangover central

Happy Sunday Funday consisting of not getting out of bed except for a shower, a big glass of water, and some food.

10. Hearing about all the things you did while intoxicated

Liquid courage makes you do things, pals.

Even though I vowed to stay in this weekend, I'm sure I'll see y'all Friday or Saturday.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
