5 Thoughts You Have As The Designated Driver

Everyone has had to do it, whether you take turns among your friends or you simply volunteer yourself for the occasion. You have been a designated driver at least once in your life. It's hard, it's even ruthless at some points, but it must be done. Here are the 5 thoughts I've had whenever I've been declared the designated driver of the night.

1. I should have thought this through

What on earth was I thinking when I agreed to this? I thought it was the nice thing to do, I would be able to handle this. What am I going to do surrounded by all these drunk imbeciles?!

2. Oh sh*t, I forgot my own drink.

I'm thirsty as all hell, and there;s nothing here except for alcohol. What am I supposed to do now? Maybe swallowing my spit for a couple hours will have to suffice.

3. Am I this stupid when I'm drunk?

Every single person looks like a complete idiot. This cannot possibly be what I look like when I'm drunk, right? Right....?

4. I want to go home

Alright, I will as though my duties here have certainly sufficed, let's get a move on people, I'm sober and ready for bed!

5. OK, OK who else needs a ride?

As the DD it's my duty to make sure everyone makes it home safely, therefore if you need a ride, you get one.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

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.

I'm serious

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.
