Your astrological sign is your everything, it literally dictates who you are as a person. Though whether you believe it or not is up to you, but what if it could also dictate your kind of alcoholic drink?

Get an Uber and text your friends because you're going drinking tonight.

1. Aries: Hot and Sassy.

An Aries is one to be full of life and possesses seriously high energy. This sign is always looking for a new challenge to take on, which is why this tangy and spicy drink is perfect for you. It packs a punch while making you want to dance the night away.

How to make: 1 oz. of Pucker Vodka Sour Apple Sass. Add 3 slices jalapeños and 2 slices clementine. 1 oz. of lime juice and 3 oz. of lemon-lime soda. Muddle jalapeño and clementines in a cocktail shaker. Add vodka and ice, then shake and strain into a tall glass. Enjoy.

A Taurus is a daydreamer, they have a happy and vibrant inner life but more often than not are a bit on the shy side. One could even sare say they are the most sensual of the bunch.

Gemini's are known to have different personalities to different people, which gives them an aura of mystery. They crave intellectual stimulation. That's why a deep red wine is perfect for you, red wines always have a different taste to everyone who tries it. I'd recommend a good Pino Nior.

How to make: Go to the store and buy it bc nobody has time to deal with all that.

4. Cancer: Rum and Coke.

Cancer, the extremely emotional sign. They need to know that they matter to someone and that they are secure in that love, which tends make them either look like a hopeless romantic or just clingy. For you, the classic pairing of Rum and Coke will get the job done. It's sweet and smooth with a hint of tang, and just like your fleeting romance, once it's gone will leave you wanting more.

How to make: 2 oz of your favorite Rum, 6 oz of Coke poured into a short glass with a lime wedge on the rim. Enjoy.

5. Virgo: Buttery Nipple.

Virgo's are mild-mannered on the surface, but underneath it all there is a real flurry of activity. Which is why a buttery nipple is perfect for you. Underneath all of that heavy Irish cream is the even more delicious butterscotch.

How to make: 1 oz butterscotch schnapps, 1/2 oz Irish creme liqueur. In a tall shot glass pour schnapps, then with a spoon gently layer Irish creme.

6. Leo: Chocolate Chili Chin Gone.

Leo's are like lions, proud, regal, and in charge. They like to know they are in charge of the situation, aka fake it till you make it types. So try sipping on, Chocolate Chili Chin Gone, it's smokey, bitter and has a sweet after taste.

How to make: 2 oz of Patron, .25 oz Vida Mezcal, .25 oz Agave 2 tsp bitters all in mixing glass. Mix then strain into a coupe with ice. Grapefruit zest and garnish with chocolate bits.

7. Libra: Dark 'n' Stormy.

Libra is the definition of harmony and peace. When things are balanced, then there is harmony, so your drink would have to be more balanced to keep you smiling. This drink is well balanced in both being smooth and tangy.

How to make: 2 oz of Dark Rum, 1 can of ginger beer. Mixed in a tall glass with ice.

8. Scorpio: Moonshine.

Scorpio's are exactly what you'd think they'd be, fearless bad-asses. They embody a daredevil lifestyle and their drinks should match that. Which is why Moonshine is the way to go. This "outlawed" drink is not only dangerous to drink but makes you feel like you're taking a risk at every sip.

How to make: Best leave this one to the professionals. Though, I hear somewhere deep in NOLA you can find some.

9. Sagittarius: Whiskey.

Sagittarians crave adventure and freedom, both metaphorically and in reality. When you want a drink you crave something that gives you the feeling that you an overall sense of well-roundedness but still having a flair for the unknown. That's why Whiskey straight is your goto drink. Whiskey is a classic drink that has been enjoyed all over the world, hence giving you a more worldly and badass vibe.

How to make: 2 oz of whiskey (your preference) in a short glass. Ice optional.

10. Capricorn: Martini.

Capricorns are very much natural born leaders. They demand a rooms attention by just walking in, so why not have a drink to match that kind of captivating power. Your drink of choice, Martini. How dirty it is, that's up to you.

How to make: Tell the bartender you want a martini, three olives.

11. Aquarius: Aquarius.

Aquarian's are probably the friendliest people you will ever meet in your life. They are good at making friends everywhere they go and are just filled with charisma. That's probably why they have a drink made and named after them, the Aquarius.

How to make: 1 1/2 oz scotch, 1/2 oz cherry brandy, 1oz cranberry juice. Pour all into a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into old fashion glass. Garnish with cherry and lime for a kick.

12. Pisces: Dark Beer.

Pisces, someone who has their head in the clouds but when they come back down to earth have a very mysterious feel. Dark beer could be your thing, other than the drink being dark and mysterious to those who have never tried this kind of beer, the flavors might actually surprise you with a coffee-esk after taste.

How to make: Have you tried a Guniess? Try asking your bartender for an Irish car bomb. You'll be blown away.

Happy drinking!

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?

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.
