10 Things You Hear As The Designated Driver

“Hey, can you pick us up?”

Getting the 2 a.m. phone call from your friends asking you to pick them up from the bars never fails to be an interesting experience. As the designated driver, you’re required to handle multiple drunk people, DJ to a multitude of music tastes and manage to not get pulled over. Along the ride, you typically hear a plethora of drunken statements and questions. Here are some of the reoccurring statements I’ve heard during my time as a DD.

1.“I’m SO drunk.”


This is the preceding statement to a string of slurred “I love yous" and “thank you so much for picking us ups.”

2. “[Insert Name Here] is dead!"

Okay, the person probably isn’t actually dead, but they are passed out taking up two seats in the already packed car (including the trunk if the drunken chariot is an SUV), drooling on your best friend’s new crop top.

3. “Can we roll the windows down?”

No, we can’t because then you will proceed to yell belligerent nonsense out the window at the group of police officers regulating the drunken crowds.

4. “Close the door. Now.”

This one comes from the DD themselves, because, since the child lock is now permanently on the windows, obviously the logical thing to do is open the doors and yell. This all happens while you’re navigating down the street full of drunken bar hoppers.

5. “Can we get Taco Bell?”

This question is answered with a chorus of agreement to what seems to be the best idea since sliced bread.

6. “I’m gonna puke!”

This is crunch time for the DD. It is essential that you whip the car over to the side of the road, unless you want to be cleaning puke stains out of the upholstery of your car for the next week.

7. “Can you change the song?”

Nobody agrees on a song. Period.

8. *sobbing*

Okay, so this isn’t actually a statement or question, but more of a muffled noise coming from your friend who drank too much boxed wine and is currently texting her ex.

9. “Where’s my credit card?”

Yes, they left it at the bar. Yes, you need to turn around to go get it.

10. “Can you drop me off first?”

WWIII: Who gets dropped off first?

At the end of the ride, you end up with a group of gracious friends and a good story for the next morning when you pick your friends up so they don’t have to do the dreaded walk of shame.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
