Everyone Should Experience Indy 500 At Least Once

It brings out the best in (Indiana) people.

Everyone Should Experience Indy 500 At Least Once

As the month of May is slowly approaching, that can only mean one thing-Indy 500 is near. The Indy 500 is a weekend that you will never forget (some things might be foggy though). People from not just Indiana come to this massive race car event, but also use it as one big excuse to party (like me).

Here are a few reasons everybody should experience this event at least once in their life.

It’s An Indiana Tradition

This amazing sh*t show has been happening since 1911, so of course, we must always protect this Indiana holiday and continue to attend. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway becomes crowded with people ready to celebrate cars going around in circles a lot. (500 times to be exact.)

Snake Pit

OK, so this is something that hasn’t always been around but is another entertaining element to this sporting event. What’s better than beer and race cars? LOUD MUSIC AND DANCING.

Day Drinking

Drinking but instead of the normal 7 p.m., you get to wake up bright and early to take a swig of alcohol that will most likely make you gag. HECK YA!

Summer Break Kick-Off

This usually falls on or close to Memorial Day weekend. You can finally release all of your school stress here with friends, family, and random strangers. Goodbye spring semester, and hello sunshine and checkered flags.

New Pals

Everyone is just so happy and friendly on this weekend. It could potentially be caused by the alcohol, but you will meet people with the same mutual love for drinking and the Indy 500, and instantly hit it off.

No Judgement Zone

Eat 12 hot dogs? Lock yourself in a port-o-potty? No one is judging you, or thinking twice about it because they are most likely about to do the same exact thing.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity and annual event that will have you thriving and smiling the whole entire weekend.

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.
