The Art of the Day Party

Darty like it's 1999.

The Art of the Day Party

A darty afternoon usually goes like this: breakfast, darty, happy hour, bars, or always back to the darty. Strategically planning what to wear and of course what alcohol to buy (if you are of legal age) is always a must. I am saying, literally, don't leave your apartment until you have this stuff mapped out. Luckily, most people attending a day party won't have to deal with picking a theme. They just have to find out what they can possibly wear that is the right mix of fun, flashy, and unforgettable.

Today is not the day of comfort, people; it is the day to party like you don't have class next week (plot twist -- you do). For now, forget about that. Let's move on to the actual art of the most radical day party of the spring.

1. The sole gatherings that fill those game day voids during the off season.

2. Hopefully this party is as close to a music festival as you can get in your college town.

3. The DJ must be on fleek or it will ruin the entire event.

4. You cannot throw a darty without a inflatable water slide.

5. It's always nice to have some food around the party to combat the drunken munchies.

6. You are sure to see the cliche flower crown and rave paint, whether or not it is rave themed. Doesn't matter.

7. Bathing suits, sun tans and high wasted shorts are an absolute must.

8. Throw some Chaco's in there while you're at it.

9. Never forget your fanny pack.

10. You can never go wrong with America anything.

(Quick RIP for this Miley alter ego.)

11. Assuming you are of legal drinking age, don't go for the tequila or wine -- those are regular party go-tos. Stick with beer and vodka unless you plan on ending up in bed with a killer headache by 5 p.m.

12. If you are lucky, the day party never fizzles out and lasts all night.

13. But once the it's 6 a.m. the next morning and it's almost time for the bouncy castle guys to take back their slide of happiness, then officially...

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
