An Open Letter To Alcohol

Cheers to you my friend.

An Open Letter To Alcohol

There have been so many times that I've been let down by so many people, but there is one thing that has never failed me, alcohol. You don't really know your true self until you've stared at yourself in the mirror at a bar at 2am in the morning and questioned your life decisions. So, with this being said, here's to you, alcohol.

To my beer, you're the casual acquaintance that I can always get along with. When I'm with you, it's always a good time. You don't judge me no matter if I'm just wearing sweatpants and a sports bra, or just sitting on my bed still wrapped in a bath towel. Sure, you make me bloated, but you're cheap and inexpensive and still can make me happy.

To my wine, you've listened to me cry about tons of different things, boys, school, the fact that I'm running out of wine, and so on and so forth. It's not a negative relationship though. I'm happy to have you by my side for a girl's night full of pizza and Netflix, and there's nothing else I would rather come home to than a big bottle of you sitting on the kitchen counter for me to enjoy.

To my whisky, you're really only there for me when the going gets tough, unless you're fireball then you're there always. They're definitely right when they say whisky makes you frisky, but anyways it's not all about that. What it's really about is that you make me forget myself for a little while and make me feel just right.

To my scotch - no thanks.

To my gin, you're that okay friend that I can only be around a little while. Too much of you and I can get to be quite a handful, you are delicious though.

To my tequila, you and I have a love-hate relationship. My friend's love you for some reason, and don't get me wrong, you're not a bad guy, but damn do I feel rough the next day when I spend a night with you. Obviously, though, if you can make me feel that way the next day we had a great night beforehand even if I don't remember it sometimes.

To my rum, you're that tropical friend that knows just how to party. You got me through a lot in college and you go well with so many things. It honestly doesn't even matter what you go into you still taste delicious and it's awesome.

Lastly, to my dearest friend, vodka. Where would I be without you? You've been with me through the best of times and the worst of times. The best nights that I've had have been spent passing a big bottle of you around with my closest friends and staying up until all hours of the morning talking about life. You make me feel extra special inside, so thank you for all that you've ever done for me.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
