Stages Of The Night You Weren't Going To Drink
Randy McCombs

We've all had that weekend where we don't want to go out, or get drunk or party at all, but we do anyways. We get bamboozled into the very thing we were trying to avoid and usually end up having either one of two things happen: have the most epic night ever imagined, or the literal worst night one could ever dream to have. The following are the stages of the night when you thought you weren't going to drink... Oh, how wrong you were.

The night starts with innocent you saying, "I am not drinking." Cold turkey, "I ain't doing it," mentality. But then "that" friend comes over, you know the one. They convince you into just one drink and you promise that it is it, you will hold true. It's just you and your friend at first, a nice casual drink with just the two of you.

All of a sudden people gather. Where they came from you have no idea, but you are surrounded and you've ended up with three to five drinks in your system. An hour or so later you've ended up somewhere that is not your house and you want to get back to it until you hear your friends saying that they're headed to yet another bar. Why no go, right?

Home has become such a far away place in your mind. You know there was something you had to do tomorrow but at this point who cares. A few more drinks in and you are past the stage of completely ready to rage; you can easily say you've hit savage mode. Let's stay up all night, who cares if you have work. Shots anyone?

That's when you wake up the next morning and you have work, class, tests, studying and family hanging out to do. You missed something important and you either have no way to explain yourself or you have the best story to somewhat back up your drunken night and overwhelming hangover.

Going out with friends is always a blast and there are always stories, but unexpected nights out are almost better because that's what they are- unexpected, unplanned and completely spontaneous. With college consisting of hard tests and lots of studying, this is the perfect way to let loose and chill your mind for a second. So here's to all those students out there with crazy fun weekend stories of nothing but the unexpected

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
