I like to view beer as America's drink. Sometimes beer can get a bad rep because you can get a beer belly or it's carbonated. Some people don’t like the taste.

I hear you people who don't like it, but I just don't really understand it. I personally think that there is simply lots to love about an ice cold beer.

1. It’s refreshing

When those mountains are blue or you pull a beer straight out of the fridge and pop that top, the first cool swig down your throat is more than refreshing.

2. It’s convenient

If you are sitting on a boat in the middle of the lake, not many people bring the ingredients needed in order to make you a martini. Get some ice and a cooler and you’ll have all you need.

3. It’s cheap

Hmm $25 for a fifth of vodka or $15.99 for a 30-rack???

4. It floats

This may seem like a weird fact, but if you are standing on a dock or a boat and you are throwing a beer to your friend in the water, don’t worry about them catching it, because it floats in water.

5. It is the perfect day drink

I tell you what, nothing is better than sitting on a porch, enjoying the sunshine, drinking a beer. It is also the best drink to be holding during a darty (day party). That is just a simple fact.

6. The drinking games

Flip cup, beer pong, hell bring in the beer bong and the keg. Someone turn on 'Thunderstruck'. All of these fun things are associated with beer and they are better with beer. If you you are playing flip cup with straight liquor, know that I am praying for you.

7. You end up with a wide-assortment of coozies

Coozies are cool and fun. They help keep your beer cold. There is a lot to love about them. You'll get your first one and then before you know it you have a bin full and you'll have no idea where you got them all.

8. There are many types to choose from

Coors. Bud Light. Budweiser. Busch Light. Miller Lite. Blue Moon (if you're fancy). The options are endless my friends.

9. It goes with many foods

Beer tastes good with many foods. Cheeseburgers, pizza, tacos, you name it.

10. Beer is timeless

Beer has been around for a very VERY long time. And its legacy will continue.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
