Every Member On Your Drinking Team Makes A Difference

Coach always said every player is important

Every Member On Your Drinking Team Makes A Difference
Sydnee Pollock

Every time you go out, you and your friends assemble to form your favorite team; your drinking team. There are many different positions on your drinking team, but every one holds an important role vital to the success of your night. Although, sometimes not every player makes it on the court every time you go out, your group performs best when everyone is in attendance.

1. The Instigator.

This is the person who rallies the troops to go out, and tries to make sure as many people can make it to an event as possible. Also could be known as the team captain.

2. The Spiller

The person you never trust to hold your drink. Can usually be blamed for stains on the carpet and always has food and drink remnants on their clothing.

3. The One Who Always Disappears

It's a few hours into the night, and the phrase "Where did... go?" Usually this person doesn't turn up again until the end of the night, but you have faith that they are always safe.

4. The One Who Passes Out Early

This person could also be The One Who Disappears. Always the first to fall asleep, and rarely makes it past midnight.

5. The Fighter

This is the person you want to keep on a leash when you go out (cue The Mom). Even the slightest disturbance will cause this person to lose their temper, and it seems the rest of the team is always holding them back from engaging in a brawl.

6. The Emotional One

Always ends the night crying. Either happy or sad tears, you can count on this person to bring emotional turmoil every time you go out.

7. The One Who Can't Stand

(Again, cue The Mom) This is the person who usually is covered in dirt, and knows better than to wear clothing that can't handle their constant falling. Usually needs help to the next destination, or even just standing up.

8. The Mom

A crucial role, although not every team has found their mom. This person makes sure that everyone makes it home safe, and not in a hospital or jail cell. Also known as the responsible one.

9. The Puke and Rally One

No one is entirely sure how this person keeps at it, but you can always count on them to rally. No one can decide if they are disgusted or impressed with their talent.

10. The One Who Won't Shut Up

Can be found talking off the ear of some poor soul who has been trapped by this person. You never know when this person will finish their story, but always has input in a conversation.

11. The Dancer

Always providing entertainment to the group, this is the person who thinks they can dance. Whether they actually have good dance moves or not is irrelevant to this person.

No matter what your role on the drinking team is, remember that they are all important, and the team notices when you are gone.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
