When dreams turn into drinks.

Hey, there, legal drinkers! Wouldn’t it be amazing if there was a brand new kind of wine in different flavors like Blue Razzberry Lemonade and Cranberry Limeade? Sounds sugary, though, right? In order for this drink to be perfect, it would have to have a low calorie and sugar count, kind of like a SkinnyGirl Margarita. On top of that, it would be awesome if it was packaged as boxed wine so that it could be shared with everyone so that all could take turns to “slap the bag.” Then, it could be used alone, frozen, with a mixer, or even as a cocktail. One can only dream.

Guess what? Dreams really do come true, and they’re called BeatBox Beverages. These delicious, low calorie, party-sized wine based drinks are officially on the market, and have begun a nationwide party-movement. At universities and venues all across the United States, people are slapping the bag with BeatBox and are united in the excitement this company has stirred up. The BeatBox team is so confident that people will love their product that they are willing to help sponsor events of all kinds, providing BeatBox Beverages, banners, and merchandise for participants over the age of 21.

Who came up with this, anyway? Business school student Justin Fenchel and his buddy Brad Schultz had a dream to create a mixed drink that trumped all boxed wines, one with great flavor while fun to drink. Together, they made the dream work, and teamed up with fellow business school classmates Dan Singer, Amy Steadman, and Jason Schieck. The BeatBox Beverages were born, and boxed wine has been revolutionized forever.

The BeatBox team appeared on "Shark Tank"in 2014, a show that allows entrepreneurs with brand new ideas to present them to “sharks,” or the founders of self-made empires. The entrepreneurs try to sell their creation to the sharks in hopes that they will invest in it and help their company boom.

Luckily enough, BeatBox Beverages sparked the interest of the sharks, and billionaire businessman Mark Cuban eventually agreed to invest $1 million for a third of the company. Once this occurred, BeatBox skyrocketed. Regional managers and brand ambassadors were hired for the company to share the fun all over the country, and are blowing up on social media. BeatBox events, social gatherings, and parties have taken over Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, spreading great drinks and good times from city to city.

It is incredibly inspiring to see that with only a vision, a few college students can create something so exciting and popular. The founders of BeatBox Beverages put their heads together to accomplish something monumental, and took the nation by storm. Now, all legal drinkers can get in on the excitement and party with BeatBox Beverages! If you are of legal drinking age and feel moved to become a part of their movement while you “slap the bag,” you can apply online to become a brand ambassador. This position allows the person to take part in many different activities, some of which include opening up Key Stores nearby their home, doing dry demos in liquor stores, and throwing BeatBox Beverage sponsored parties. These ambassadors receive special rewards for their accomplishments and can even win a trip to party in Vegas with the BeatBox team.

With passion, hard-work, and teamwork, anything can be possible, so the time to start dreaming is now. Write your goals down and hang them up on your wall. Set them next to your bed. Print them out and keep them in a safe place. Do whatever you can to make sure that you read your goals every single day and have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish in this life. You may fail at times, but life is about picking yourself back up again and striving for success, no matter what stands in your way. The BeatBox team started small and grew to become a multi-million dollar success, proving to young people that we have the power to achieve greatness.

Now, keep one thing in mind -- you have the power, too. Go get ‘em, tiger.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
