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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
