Stages Of The Night You Weren't Going To Drink
Randy McCombs

We've all had that weekend where we don't want to go out, or get drunk or party at all, but we do anyways. We get bamboozled into the very thing we were trying to avoid and usually end up having either one of two things happen: have the most epic night ever imagined, or the literal worst night one could ever dream to have. The following are the stages of the night when you thought you weren't going to drink... Oh, how wrong you were.

The night starts with innocent you saying, "I am not drinking." Cold turkey, "I ain't doing it," mentality. But then "that" friend comes over, you know the one. They convince you into just one drink and you promise that it is it, you will hold true. It's just you and your friend at first, a nice casual drink with just the two of you.

All of a sudden people gather. Where they came from you have no idea, but you are surrounded and you've ended up with three to five drinks in your system. An hour or so later you've ended up somewhere that is not your house and you want to get back to it until you hear your friends saying that they're headed to yet another bar. Why no go, right?

Home has become such a far away place in your mind. You know there was something you had to do tomorrow but at this point who cares. A few more drinks in and you are past the stage of completely ready to rage; you can easily say you've hit savage mode. Let's stay up all night, who cares if you have work. Shots anyone?

That's when you wake up the next morning and you have work, class, tests, studying and family hanging out to do. You missed something important and you either have no way to explain yourself or you have the best story to somewhat back up your drunken night and overwhelming hangover.

Going out with friends is always a blast and there are always stories, but unexpected nights out are almost better because that's what they are- unexpected, unplanned and completely spontaneous. With college consisting of hard tests and lots of studying, this is the perfect way to let loose and chill your mind for a second. So here's to all those students out there with crazy fun weekend stories of nothing but the unexpected

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.
