An Open Letter To The People Driving From The Party
Boise Weekly

To the person leaving the party,

Hey there! What is going on? That party was pretty awesome, wasn't it? I just have one question for you though. Where do you think you are going? I hope you aren't thinking about driving anywhere. Do you really think that you are in any way in good shape to drive?

If you just said, "Yeah!!!! Of course I am good to drive!!!!!" Get ready for a slap up side the head and think again. You have been drinking for the past couple hours and now you think that you are good to drive... Really?

Let me tell you what you are going to be doing if you start that car. You are putting a countless number of innocent people in danger because you are "good to drive." You are also putting your life in danger.

Imagine this: You start driving home because you only had like three or four drinks. While you are driving home all of a sudden there is a car that came out of nowhere and the next think you hear and see are police sirens and lights. They put you and handcuffs and put you in the back of a squad car and you have no clue what is going on. You soon find out that that you T-boned that car. The driver of that car was a 17 year old kid who was going to be the first in their family to go to college. They were going to go and play basketball at Duke. They are now paralyzed from the waist down and lost their scholarship to go to school. Now you ruined a dream and you have a fine up to $10,000, you are heading to jail for up to two years, and possibly longer because of other charges all of that because you were "alright to drive."

Please, if you still feel like driving, don't do it. Don't drive for all of the people that care about you. Your parents. Your siblings. Your best friend. You have no clue how much they will miss you if you were to die in an accident. Please for you, your family, your friends and your future. Don't drink and drive.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
