Graduation is approaching, so I'm getting pretty nostalgic. I've been thinking about the good, the bad, and the petty decisions that I've made throughout my last few years in school. And while the memories may one day fade, I find peace in the fact that some things will always remain the same. Those things being that freshmen think they can handle an 8 a.m. class, senioritis can occur at any level of college and that house/frat parties will always serve you shitty beer.

A few days ago, I decided to do a little Instagram poll for all 990 of my closest friends and I found out that wayyy too many of them have trash opinions. But the people have spoken, so here are the top four beers that you'll be forced to drink in college.

1. Bud Light

Ah, yes. The sweet and pure taste of a crisp, bubbly Bud Light. This is a delicacy within the college realm. The Bud is usually saved by the party host(s) under a cabinet or in a locked bedroom so that only a select few can savor its greatness. While it may not be the best beer in the world, it's definitely going to cost you a few more dolla dolla bills, y'all. The likelihood that cases of this bad boy are bought for randoms and the masses is slim. So because of that, like Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen, it's number one.

2. Natty Light

Our tried and true. The people's (second) choice. The OG. Natty Light. Not only is it the most popular beer brand in the United States of A (don't look that up), it's also the easiest to shotgun (or so I've heard). Natty Light is like the best friend that you've been denying feelings for your whole life, until one day you wake up and realize they've been with you through your highs and lows. It's not the beer that you need, but it's the beer that you deserve... Because we're all kind of garbage.

3. Keystone

Trash. Next.

4. Hamm's

I'm not quite sure when Hamm's decided to pop up on the scene, but like Cinderella at the ball, that she was explicitly not invited to, this beer has shown up unannounced and caused a scene. I can (and have) literally purchased a can of Hamm's at a bar for 50 cents. A steal or ripoff; I'll never know. The taste of Hamm's can only be described as a cold, flat, off-brand, "beer-flavored" beverage with a slight hint of carbonation that resembles a flatlining heartbeat; faint and weak. While I think Keystone is "trash" (read above for more deets), I don't think that it's worse than Hamm's. The sweet release of death is better than a case of Hamm's. But, somehow, 25 percent of my Instagram voters/dumpster-fire friends decided that Hamm's was better than Keystone. Tragic.

Below, I have started a GoFundMe to help fund a new set of taste buds for all 26 people who voted for Hamm's. Please donate what you can and I hope you enjoy your day.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
