Pregames: The Key to A Good Night Out

Pregame (Verb) - Drinking prior to an event, usually at a party, but often, a college course or lecture.

The Pre-Pregame

It starts with a shot after your last class at noon on Friday. Then it’s a shower beer. After your shower, it’s a mixed drink while you spend the next 2-3 hours getting ready. Then you actually have to leave your house and go to the planned pregame.

The “Oops”

You went over to your friend’s house for a quiet wine night, but after about a bottle and a half, you guys are ready to rage. You’re inviting people over last minute and figuring out your evening plans, all while cracking open another cold one.

The “Hopeless” Pregame

You know your nights going nowhere fast. The whole purpose of a pregame is to pump you up for the night ahead, but this pregame just kills it. The music sucks and the people are boring. So you pack your beer bag and head out with hopes of finding something better to do.

The Pregame - Turned - Rager

It was supposed to be just a small group getting ready together, sharing clothes, and doing each other’s makeup and hair, but then, the way - too -drunk friend shoots a mass text off inviting everyone they know to the house. You all have to get ready quickly so you don’t miss the party happening in your own living room.

The Power Hour

The rule-based pregame. This is shot of beer every minute for an hour. Usually accompanied with funny video clips or awesome music videos. The objective: to get so intoxicated that your bar tab is almost nothing.

The Tailgate

This is the 9 AM pregame. Usually, you don’t even end up watching the actual game that you’re tailgating for but you have a nice buzz all day, which is way more important.

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.
