The Art of the Day Party

Darty like it's 1999.

The Art of the Day Party

A darty afternoon usually goes like this: breakfast, darty, happy hour, bars, or always back to the darty. Strategically planning what to wear and of course what alcohol to buy (if you are of legal age) is always a must. I am saying, literally, don't leave your apartment until you have this stuff mapped out. Luckily, most people attending a day party won't have to deal with picking a theme. They just have to find out what they can possibly wear that is the right mix of fun, flashy, and unforgettable.

Today is not the day of comfort, people; it is the day to party like you don't have class next week (plot twist -- you do). For now, forget about that. Let's move on to the actual art of the most radical day party of the spring.

1. The sole gatherings that fill those game day voids during the off season.

2. Hopefully this party is as close to a music festival as you can get in your college town.

3. The DJ must be on fleek or it will ruin the entire event.

4. You cannot throw a darty without a inflatable water slide.

5. It's always nice to have some food around the party to combat the drunken munchies.

6. You are sure to see the cliche flower crown and rave paint, whether or not it is rave themed. Doesn't matter.

7. Bathing suits, sun tans and high wasted shorts are an absolute must.

8. Throw some Chaco's in there while you're at it.

9. Never forget your fanny pack.

10. You can never go wrong with America anything.

(Quick RIP for this Miley alter ego.)

11. Assuming you are of legal drinking age, don't go for the tequila or wine -- those are regular party go-tos. Stick with beer and vodka unless you plan on ending up in bed with a killer headache by 5 p.m.

12. If you are lucky, the day party never fizzles out and lasts all night.

13. But once the it's 6 a.m. the next morning and it's almost time for the bouncy castle guys to take back their slide of happiness, then officially...

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

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.
