We have all made decisions that we have inevitably regret—the morning after a night of drinking way too much cheap liquor being one of them. An agonizing headache and nauseating feeling only make the regret cut so much deeper.

Contrary to belief, greasy food does not help with a hangover. It's good in preventing one by insulating your stomach, which keeps the bloodstream from absorbing the alcohol. However, it'll do more harm than good the morning after.

As the new semester draws closer, you'll probably find yourself in social settings where alcohol is being offered. It's important to note that binge drinking is not healthy and can lead to alcohol poisoning. However, if you ever find yourself in a situation with too much to drink, it's good to know these five superfoods to cure that hangover:

1. Eggs

Eggs contain amino acids like cysteine and taurine. Cysteine helps get rid of splitting headache and taurine promotes healthy liver function, which your liver is going to thank you for.

2. Sports drinks

Not a "food," but sports drinks like Gatorade contain electrolytes, an important body substance that keeps your body running. It's important to replenish electrolytes after drinking to help you get back on your feet and hydrate you.

3. Bananas

Bananas are a good source of potassium, an important electrolyte that is drained after a night of drinking. If you're not a big fan of bananas, blend it with some yogurt, another food that contains potassium, to make a delicious smoothie!

4. Chicken noodle soup

You're probably going to crave for something warm and hearty with the nasty symptoms you're feeling. Chicken noodle soup will help boost your sodium and water levels.

5. Oatmeal

Oatmeal contains vital nutrients like magnesium, vitamin B, iron, and calcium. It'll also help raise sugar levels and neutralize acids in the body. Not a fan of oatmeal? Add some fruit like strawberries and a dash of cinnamon to make it tastier!

Most importantly, remember to drink A LOT of water before and after you drink! It'll keep you hydrated and subdue hangover symptoms.

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.
