7 Drinks That Will Make You The Most Popular Guest At Any Summer Barbecue Or Picnic

Summer time is finally here, or at least approaching depending on where you live. This means beaches, lake days, picnics, barbecues. As we all know, with these events comes some pretty killer heat. Nothing says summer time like a delicious ice cold beverage that is not only refreshing, but delicious. If you wanna be prepared to serve drinks that are sure to lead to some fun in the sun, check out the 7 beverages in this article that I know your friends and family will not be able to get enough from.

1) Seltzer

Sometimes, you just have to keep things simple. Water is great and all, but seltzer really helps bring people to the cooler on a hot day. The carbonation really helps to keep you from drinking too fast so you not only get to enjoy a delicious drink, but you can enjoy it for longer! This drink comes in a plethora of flavors so you can bet your bottom dollar there is a kind that you and your party will love.

2) Club soda

Who doesn't love a little bit of tingly water? A case or a bottle of club soda can liven up any get together. With flavors like strawberry lemonade and lime, what is there not to love?

3) Sparkling water

Some gas infused liquid is sure to hit the spot at your next party. Sip like the elite with this ~fancy~ drink. (My personal favorite flavor is cucumber melon, let me know what you think!)

4) Seltzer water

A little bit of H2C03 (Which is H2O+CO2 for those of you not well versed in chemestry) is just what the summer doctor ordered to put a damper on the brutal heat of the summer. This one only comes in one flavor... PSYCH there are soooo many flavors for this incredibly unique drink.

5) Effervescent water

Okay I'm gonna have to keep it real with you guys for a second, this one is basically just a fancy name for the next drink. See #6

6) Bubbly/Fizzy water

A little bit of bubbles in your water? What could be better when the temps get hotter! With this spicy take on your every day beverage you'll be sure to gain a great deal of leverage (the next time there is is "who brought the best drinks to the party" competition). Pick from hundreds of flavors that will tingle your taste buds.

7) Carbonated water

Carbon here does NOT mean that you are contributing to climate change by drinking this. It DOES mean that you will be everybody's favorite guest to have at any summertime ordeal. Pro-Tip: if you poll some of the guests before the party, you can ask them what their favorite flavors are and get those because there is sure to be a carbonated water in any flavor you could think of!

There you have it, the 7 best drinks for your next summer time shin dig. The hardest part is picking which one to bring! Really you should just buy all 7 and bring them to the party but leave them in your car, then feel the vibes of the place and then bring out the corresponding beverage. You'll have all the attendees asking "How did you know?! This is the perfect drink for this specific summer time gathering!"

Happy drinking!

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.
