No, I didn't misspell party.

Your Ultimate Guide To Surviving A 'Darty'

I have seen SO many people post about "dartying," and at first, I was like OK, weirdos, what is this? Being an OU student I should have known. To darty is to day party. When the weather is nice, when the sun is out, and the homework is done (or not done, if you're someone who can handle that. I cannot. Work hard, play hard, amiright?) we college kids don't head to the bars, we head to the front porches and front yards to party. Here is the best way to darty.

1. Pace yourself.

OK, this may seem annoying, or obvious, but you have to pace yourself. I see so many people going home at like 5 because they can't hang. If you don't place yourself, you're going to get hurt, and you're going to miss out on the rest of the night.

2. Don't ignore responsibilities to darty.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. If you have work, homework, a group project, or whatever, don't skip them to darty, because chances are, people will still be drinking when you're done. And you also don't want to fail school or lose your job over this.

3. Don't mooch.

Don't steal someone's alcohol. Unless you've been offered one, don't take one. It is so rude.

4. Drink water.

I sound like a mom, but it is a lot hotter than what you're used to. If you don't drink water every couple of drinks, then you'll get dehydrated and that is not fun.

5. Be nice to the police.

Yes, they know what you're doing. No, they aren't out to get you. They're there to look out for you. SO be nice to them, follow the law, and you will be fine.

6. Have fun!

These are the best days, and they are a great time. So enjoy them! Just be safe, my friends.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
