7 Things We Convince Ourselves While Drinking

If you erase all proof, did it actually happen?

7 Things We Convince Ourselves While Drinking

Something about alcohol just gives us all the same great ideas. We've all been there, done that. No matter how many times you question your logic in the morning, nothing seems to change the next time around at the bar. It happens to the best of us, right?

1. Calories don’t count

It doesn't matter if you keep yourself on the world’s most strict diet every other night of the week. Once you start drinking that all goes out the window. Taco Bell? Half priced apps at Applebee’s? It all sounds like a good idea.

2. He’s totally cute

Every single friend around you can swear on their life that the boy at the bar isn't nearly as cute as you think he is, and you’re probably not going to listen. After a view more drinks and with the lights down, he might as well be Channing Tatum. At least until tomorrow morning when your friends show you his Instagram account, and you all agree to pretend it never happened.

3. Texting your ex is a good idea

The biggest favor you can do yourself is deleting your ex-boyfriend’s number before you even start drinking. Sober you knows he’s the world’s biggest a**hole, but drunk you doesn't even care. I don't even think it matters whether you guys are arguing about a fight from six months ago or confessing that you still love each other, texting your ex is just another textbook drunk night event. All there is left to do is delete the text messages in the morning and continue on not giving a crap about them.

4. It’s time to cry about friendship

If you don't cry about how great your best friend is when you're drunk, do you even have a best friend? Take it from an emotionless sober person, if it wasn't for wine nights, my friends might not even know I like them. After a few glasses of wine, I’m sending them love messages longer than I’ve ever sent a boy.

5. You can (and should) dance

Whether it’s getting low, wap-ing the night away or reenacting the Single Ladies dance in a far less flawless way than Beyonce, drunk you probably doesn't care. As far as you can tell, you’re killing it. Lets just hope nobody catches it on video, and you successfully avoid falling onto the group and you’re good to go.

6. Those Snapchat selfies are flawless

Bathroom mirror selfies, 10 different pictures of you with a drink in your hand or eyes barely open from the flash after a few drinks you think they are all Snapchat story worthy. Everyone wants to see 10 seconds of your drunk duck face, right? I don't even want to think about how many people have experienced my drunk stories before I woke up and quickly erased them.

7. Vent to a stranger

I don’t know what it is about drinking and believing that the stranger you met wants and needs to hear your whole life story. Had a bad breakup? Go ahead and tell the all the details. Family issues? Yeah, they want to hear about it. Haven't talked to your middle school best friend since 2009 but really miss their friendship? They’ll have the perfect advice for you.

The truth is, you’ll probably never understand your drunk logic. No matter how many times you prep yourself about what not to do while drinking, you probably won't care after a few drinks. At least it makes for a good story, right?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
