Happy Holidays...

The Holiday Drinking Game
1st Mariner Bank

Holiday break is finally here! You know what that means! Time for naps, free time, aaaannndd.... family dinners. Once you finish shuddering, continue reading please.

Now if you are anything like me, you get along well with your direct family. But once Christmas Eve hits, you are faced with plenty of uncles and cousins you see once or twice a year. These events always make for some drama.

Take a shot if....

An adult asks you how your finals went.

An adult asks you if you have a boy/girl friend (and take two if they ask if you have a partner that doesn't match your sexual orientation.)

A kid asks if you have a boy/girl friend.

"Come give _____ a kiss." (and take two if you are over the age of 20.)

Someone passes a baby to you for you to watch.

People go and excuse themselves into the kitchen to argue.

Someone is gifted a candle.

Politics are brought up.

"Hey who's parked behind Uncle ____?"

Someone is drunkenly singing Christmas carols.

Finish your drink if...

You are in a relationship and someone asks when you're getting married.

An unexpected (and uninvited) guest shows up.

Someone hands you a baby and says, "you're next, you know."

Someone receives an offensive gift.

A relatives ex-girlfriend or wife is brought up.

Someone takes the, "well how about our new president," bait.

Someone is drunkenly stumbling.

Just grab the whole bottle if...

"You know I know this nice boy...."

A heated political discussion begins.

Your unexpected guest starts arguing with someone else outside.

A child starts riding the dog like a horse.

Someone drops a glass plate in the kitchen.

Someone brings up conspiracy theories.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
