No, I didn't misspell party.

Your Ultimate Guide To Surviving A 'Darty'
publicbroadcasting.net

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.

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.
