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.

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.
