An Open Letter To Alcohol

Cheers to you my friend.

An Open Letter To Alcohol
Answerafrica.com

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
