Summer is here and you're ready to celebrate like it's 2016 and you're 21+. Awesome. But let's review some tips on drinking during the hot summer months:

*Be sure to drink plenty of water before and in-between drinks

*Don't forget to eat something to help balance out amount of alcohol your body is taking in

*Never accept a drink from someone that you don't trust

*Drinking a mixed drink is a safer alternative to doing shots

*Set-up a safe ride home before you go drinking to avoid accidents and illegally driving while under the influence

*Know to avoid extremely cheap, poor-quality alcohol that is likely to make you very sick and very hungover

*Stick with people you know well and trust 100% when you're going to be drinking, so you'll have someone to have your back in a sticky situation

*Remember that alcohol is fun but also dangerous and you aren't immune to the harsh reality of hangovers and medical problems from drinking in excess

Without further ado, here's 5 fantastic drinks that you have to try this summer

Mixed Drinks:

1. Vodka Cranberry

2. Pina Colada

Bottled drinks: the perfect thing for BYOB parties

3. Mike's Hard Lemonade (5%)

4. Seagram's Escapes Flavored Beer

5. Arborita Arbor Mist: Strawberry Margarita

Drink Responsibly!

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?
