How Ordering Angel Shot Might Save Your Life
David Silverman

It's an idea that's sweeping the internet: the angel shot.

The angel shot originated in St. Petersburg, Florida. It's actually a pretty simple idea, and though it comes out of a movement seeking to make the world (especially of dating) a safer place for women, men could easily take advantage of it too. According to Redbook Magazine,

"Order an angel shot neat and a bartender will escort you to your car. Ask for it with ice and the bartender will call a taxi or Uber for you. Order it with lime and the restaurant staff will call the police."

The ability to order an angel shot multiple ways is actually incredibly intelligent; its discreetness gives the person ordering exactly what they need without alerting others. Including whoever is causing the orderer potential danger. On the flipside, if the abuser or otherwise threatening person knows about the angel shot, it could possibly make the situation worse.

Why does it matter?

Though the practice isn't yet widespread and depends on the staff knowing about it, as well as how to respond properly, it's important that it even exists. Because even though there's virtually no research on how often date-rape drugs are used, we do know that they are prolific. We do know that a date can go from awkward to uncomfortable to straight-up unsafe very quickly, especially in the age of Tinder and online dating. Which means that safety mechanisms are quickly becoming ever-important. Having the angel shot as another weapon in the arsenal of getting home safe could save lives.

Maybe even yours one day.

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.
