Remember These 4 Things Before You Get A Reputation As The Go-To Party Girl

Sidney Ambrogio

As a college sophomore, I'm not going to say that I do not go out and party on the weekends. It's nice to go out and let off some steam every once in a while — especially if it's Friday night, you're in a clammy college basement and you're dancing to "Mr. Brightside." But being the go-to party girl is not always the reputation you want — or it wasn't necessarily the one I wanted.

Freshman year was the first time that I was away from my parents, and I wanted to experience all that college had to offer. But with that, I became the girl who was known to go out and have too much fun sometimes.

So, to the girl that is becoming the known "party girl," here are some tips to get you through this.

Stay in sometimes and watch a Netflix movie.

I wish someone had asked me to stay in on a Friday or Saturday night and have a girls night with them — binge eating popcorn, watching Netflix and doing face masks. Everyone needs a night to themselves, or one with their closest girlfriends, every once in a while. So take the time to have a "you night."

It's OK to not go out.

There were plenty of nights when my roommate and I did not feel like putting on makeup and getting dressed up, just to sweat all our makeup off and feel gross the next morning.

Its OK to tell your friends you do not want to go out. And don't feel bad about it! Do not let your friends make you feel bad because you want to stay in with your roommate and binge Domino's and Disney movies.

Just because you party, that does not mean your education does not matter.

Do not let your grades slip because you go out and party! You do not want to be failing out of college, and you do not want to be known as the girl who failed out because she partied too much.

Trust me, it is not a good look, and you'll pay for it during your sophomore year — just like I am. Going out every weekend will get you sick, and you will miss classes. And missed classes equals slipping grades.

You do not have to drink to be cool.

During my spring semester freshman year, I had my appendix taken out. With that being said, I could not drink for about a month and a half. But honestly, I had more fun being the DD of the group than I did while having to worry about finding a DD.

I loved waking up before noon and being so productive. You do not have to drink to be cool. You're probably even cooler because you are making sure your friends have a safe ride home. In my eyes, I would rather have fun sober and drive my drunk friends home than wake up hungover and have blisters on my feet because I had to walk home

So, with these tips and tricks, I hope you find your place in the party scene at your school — whether it be a huge party school, like University of Delaware, or a small school, like Salve Regina. Be smart, but have fun!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
