Do You Dayge Or Darty?

The real college line is drawn between people who darty and people who dayge.

Do You Dayge Or Darty?
publicbroadcasting.net

My first week of Sophomore year of college has officially finished. Now nothing that exciting happened during this week besides new classes and finding out that biking to campus is a lot harder than it looks I realized that there is one difference between Arizona and Ohio, besides the heat, and that is daygers.

During my freshman year, I definitely went to my share of day parties conforming to the word used for them, calling them daygers. Dayger puts the words "day" and "rager" together as this is what I've learned people in Arizona only call them.

When I went home this summer I attended these so called "daygers." And when I called them a dayger not only was I actually yelled at but I was forced to correct my wording to what we call it as a "darty"-- combining the words "day" and "party."

After three months of being home, this word truly stuck with me and I became a firm believer in it and that the word dayger is high-key stupid. However, coming back to school dayger became the norm and when I used darty I was YELLED at by literally everyone.

My friends actually were [friendly] fighting over Snapchat about darty vs. dayger. I've probably heard every argument about which one is better or how one made sense or how the other doesn't.

Personally, I'm on the darty side. I think it just makes more sense-- day plus party equal darty. Dayger is day and rager and to be quite honest ragers remind me of high school parties in smelly basements wearing jerseys and spandex shorts (why was that even a thing?).

I do, in a way, see people argue when it comes to dayger. It's easier to say to someone, "Hey did you dayge this weekend?" than, "Pal did you go to a darty this weekend?". Maybe don't say "Pal..." – that might be the issue.

So the real question is, what do you think? Do you dayge or do you darty??? Let me know in this poll!

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.
