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.

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.

13 Thoughts College Students Have On The First Day Of Class

Syllabus week doesn't exist.

Hunter College

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1282

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
