Sinning in Las Vegas

Be careful what you do and post

Sinning in Las Vegas

Going to Las Vegas for the weekend is practically a sacramental right of passage in college. It’s so crucial to our early adulthood development that Snapchat even made a filter that says “Vegas for the Weekend.” Damn Snapchat, you really do get it. 

But a weekend in Vegas isn’t just about having a 200-second snapstory that annoys all the sober people who watch it. It’s also about other substantial endeavors, such as drinking a lot of expensive liquor, pretending to like EDM music, and pissing off old men.       

The best part about Las Vegas is that the entire weekend is practically free, unless you’re a boy of course. For girls, all you have to do is alert somewhat creepy club promoters that your posse is in their city. When they tell you that they’ll get you on the VIP list and give your group free bottle service at their nightclub, they are actually not lying. The only catch is that they might not be in it for your personality. Happens.

Once you’ve lined up half a dozen club promoters to dote on your group all weekend, take in your surroundings. All the glitz and glam and tack and supersized-ness will make you feel like Barbie in her Dream Castle. Plus, open containers are legal, which basically lets you relive your semester abroad. If drinking a Bud Light Lime in front of the fake Eiffel Tower doesn’t get you cultured, I don’t know what will. 

When the desert sun has fallen and the Strip is lit up like Scott Disick’s eyes when Kourtney is out of town, it’s time to hit the clubs. The promoters will probably say in order to get free bottle service you have to show up at 10. This is when the games begin. Text all the promoters the lie that “XS’s promoter is offering bottle service AND we don’t have to get to there until midnight.” Next minute, every single one of them will be offering you free late entry and an extra bottle of Patron. 

Once you've got them all in the palm of your hands and pick the best deal out of your bargaining, the real Las Vegas will come to life. In reality, you don’t actually have the table the promoter promised you — you just have it until the actual reservation shows up, and you’ll probably feel like an objectified pump-up girl for the duration you’re at the table. Remind yourself that Grey Goose doesn’t see you that way.      

You might get lucky and your table won’t get rented out at all, allowing you and your ladies to bring in the sunrise on top of it. However, if you’re sitting at the best spot in Hakkasan and Calvin Harris is performing, expect middle-aged business men to book it out around 1 a.m. Likely, they’ll be overjoyed that a bunch of college chicks are swarming it and invite you all to stay. As tempting as it may be to party with these losers all night, get the F out of there before some 45-year-old housewife starts harassing you on Facebook for being tagged in the same club photo as her dearly beloved. 

These days, what happens in Vegas doesn't stay there; it gets posted on SpyOnVegas.com. Be warned.

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.
