How To Vibe | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Vibing is essential to the college experience. Whether its kicking back after a short day of class, or having a lazy Sunday watching Johnny Foozball kill it with your boys, vibing is a necessity. To most of us, hanging out and chilling is natural and easy. It is just what we do. Unfortunately, there are those select few who just don't know what they are doing.  You know those guys that always find a way to kill the high. So if you are reading this and have some doubt about your social vibing skills, check out these easy steps to help stop being a buzzkill.

MUSIC IS KEY

I can't reiterate this enough, music is key. Being able to DJ any situation at any time is a must. Not only do you need to keep great playlists on your phone at all times, you need to make sure they offer great variety. These portable set lists make impromptu DJ'ing an ease and will help prevent the terrible sin of playing a vibe killing song. 

MOVE SLOOOOOOOOWWWWWW 

I am little worried that this article is putting off the idea that you have to play songs that everyone else wants, and you have to disregard your own vibes. Don't worry, playing your own music style is extremely important. The issue is that sometimes your style is vastly different from the music currently being played. In order to avoid playing a song at the wrong time and ruining the session, ease into the new genre slowly. BRING YOUR OWN GOODS.  If you are showing up to a new vibe you need to make sure you bring your own goods. It's always nice to show up with a nice Juicy J. And hey, a 6 pack of nice beer doesn't hurt, but we all know a case of it is even better. Breaking the ice can be hard sober, so prepare yourself and bring your own goods. Remember, no one likes a mooch. Don't be a peasant. 

FINAL WARNING 

Vibes sometimes decide to take a mind of their own and turn into a full fledged party. Don't let the few hours of "chilling" and drinking slow you down. Are you really going to be that guy that is half asleep looking at his phone the whole night? Or even worse, the guy who locks himself in the bathroom for 30 minutes puking his brains out. It sounds simple enough, but every group has their one hit wonder. So please, don't be that guy. 

In conclusion, don't be a dumb ass. Vibing may take some practice, but the end result is well worth it. Be prepared to party.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
