Pick Your Poison: 7 Alcohols And What They Do To You

Ahhh drinking; a college student’s favorite pastime. With the many different things we experiment with in college, drinking is definitely one of them. Do you really think having tequila and beer in the same night is a good idea? I don’t know, but I’m sure you’ve tried it. Trying a new concoction of our favorite rums and juices, I wonder where that will take us by the end of the night. There are definitely certain alcohols that get you a certain kind of wasted. We’ve all got our favorite drinks; just pick your poison wisely.

1. Jagermeister

I say if you can’t spell it, don’t drink it. I think anyone who drinks Jager is asking for a night with his or her head in the toilet and a killer hangover. Shots of Jager lead to the vomit express before you can even enjoy the instantaneous drunk that will come over you.

2. Wine

Wine and whine go hand in hand sometimes. You know you’re about to have a sappy girls night, or a relaxing lovers quarrel if you’re busting out a bottle of pinot. Wine goes straight to your head, and your heart…get ready for an emotional but classy drunk.

3. Whiskey

Whether you’re going for some Jack Daniels or the beloved Fireball, you’re about to make some bad decisions. I’d say this alcohol tends to make tempers rise, you’ll have intensified emotions and possibly bust out a punch or two if people give you the wrong looks. It sneaks up on you like a ghost on Halloween and all of a sudden you’re found on the side of the road calling that girl or guy that you have in your phone as “Do Not Answer.”

4. Tequila

Tequila makes you frisky and makes you forget. You most likely will blackout by the end of the night, possibly dance on a table or two, and make some very questionable decisions. Girls who drink tequila are champs but also pretty smart; you don’t have to waste calories with a chaser, and there are some articles out proving it actually is one of the healthiest choices of alcohol. When life gives you lemons, grab a shot of tequila!

5. Rum

Rum punches are delicious and devious, depending on your mix of choice, but you might be surprised with how quickly just a few of those sugary drinks catch up to you. If you do get drunk off something like Malibu, cheers to the white girl wasted night ahead. Bloating isn’t far behind that last sugary sip, and you might have a sour morning ahead but you don't care because it tastes oh-so-sweet going down.

6. Vodka

Vodka drunk is the drunk girls in the bathroom at the bar -- you’re a hot mess and all about spreading your love to everyone. Whether that means becoming a kissing booth or becoming best friends with everyone you encounter, be prepared for the throbbing hangover and some raccoon eyes in the mirror looking back at you in the morning.

7. Beer

The happiest drunk of all, you might feel like you gained 10 pounds with the immediate beer belly, but the relaxed feeling of sipping on some beers rather than aggressively taking shots sets the mood for a happy drunk night ahead. You control yourself a bit more when you’re pacing yourself and having a more social pregame or night out. Let the drinking games begin!

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.
