5 Alcoholic Drinks That Require No Effort And Are Easy To Make At Home

Missing the bar? A lot of us are, too. Lucky for you, most liquor stores remain open during the lockdowns.

Fortunately (or unfortunately for some), the liquor stores have remained open throughout this entire pandemic. "Essential business" really has a ring to it, huh? While you're bored at home, missing nights at the bar with friends, you may have been neglecting the ingredients you have to make delicious drinks all by yourself. (A Zoom call with your friends would be a great time to do this, by the way.)

1. Screwdriver

This one may give you flashbacks to that one time you didn't have a mixer. Of course, it's the classic mixture of vodka and orange juice. Most people have orange juice in their fridge and a bit of vodka in their liquor cabinet, so this may be the easiest one to come by. Add some grenadine if you want to spice it up a bit!

2. Mimosa

This one is similar to a screwdriver, but a little more classy. It's a mixture of orange juice and champagne. Mimosas are a staple beverage when it comes to brunch, so many of us consider them to be "special occasion" drinks. However, if you have some extra champagne lying around from your graduation party, why not mix it with some OJ?

3. Rum and Coke

My personal favorite drink is the classic rum and Coke. No fancy names, no hidden ingredients: it's just rum and Coke. The amount of rum flavor in your drink can be varied with how much Coke you put in, and the mixture of flavors is complimentary. Rum and Coke is my go-to drink for going out, and it never gets old. This is a great drink to have while outside during the golden hour and getting your daily dose of vitamin D.

4. Margarita

Margaritas from scratch sound complicated. Like, really complicated. Lucky for you, margarita mix is pre-made and only requires tequila! You can buy margarita mix at your local grocery store, and as you'll soon find out, there are many different flavors to choose from besides just "plain margarita". Personally, I recommend a strawberry or mango margarita. These drinks can also be enjoyed frozen or on the rocks (with plain ice).

5. Vodka Tonic

This is my grandma's favorite drink. Vodka and tonic water mix together to create a unique, slightly spiced taste that will make vodka more tolerable for you. Of course, you can always add some simple syrup into the mix if you want to sweeten it up a bit. Vodka tonics are not to everyone's taste, but don't knock it till you try it!

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.
