7 Drinks For The 4th Of July that Can Bring Out Anyone's Patriotic Side

Independence Day is arguably America's drunkest holiday. It's tradition to barbecue, watch fireworks, and binge drink the entire day away. If you're throwing a party this 4th of July and want to serve the tastiest, coolest, and most patriotic drinks ever, here are some ideas for you. Just click the photos for instructions on how to make these drinks! And remember to stay safe and drink responsibly!

1. Spiked Bomb Pop

These are the best popsicles to eat on the 4th of July! Why not turn them into a tasty drink?

2. Layered Red, White, and Blue Shot

If you want a shot with some patriotic stripes, just use a spoon to carefully pour layers on top of each other.

3. The Independence Rocket

This drink has muddled raspberries in the top layer for an extra fruity touch! Yum!

4. Star Spangled Jello Shots

These may take a little extra time to make, but they are so worth it!

5. Diversity Shot

This drink represents how America is a melting pot of all cultures! When you pull the shot glass out of the cup, the colors mix in perfect harmony!

6. American Flag Slushie

This slushie will be great to cool you off on a hot summer day!

7. Red, White, and Blue Sangria

This drink is light and refreshing and very fruity! The star shapes are easy to make with a small cookie cutter.

I hope your 4th of July is filled with American flag-waving and tons of red, white, and blue fireworks! And again, be safe and drink responsibly!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.
