The 12 Stages Of Day-Drinking

This weekend was our school's Spring Fest (We call it Siena Fest, #gosaints), which basically just means we soaked up some sun, hung out, and drank for 48 hours. All. Day. The. Whole. Weekend. Now, it's totally not a requirement to drink, and there's lots of fun things going on instead....but A LOT of people do it. Including myself (Hey, I'm 21, You can't judge me.)

I don't even know where this tradition of just being drunk all day came from, but it's honestly really difficult for me to keep up with it. I go through so many stages of sobriety, which can put me in a super cranky mood. College, man.

Well, after a full Saturday of drinking, I thought I'd write something for everyone to remember their weekend by, because memories only last if you were sober. Well, at least mine don't. Thank God for Snapchat.

And, if you're not a drinker, consider this a good reason to stay that way.

Here are the 12 Stages of Day Drinking:

1. Attempting to wake yourself up to not waste any precious drinking time. (This is probably the only time I will wake up for 12 on a weekend.)

2. Figuring you probably should eat something, but not wanting to make anything.

3. Trying to get past those first few sips at 10 AM. (This is my biggest struggle.)

4. Making yourself look presentable before the alcohol kicks in. At least, Sort of.

5. Heading outside with your friends so the shenanigans can begin.

6. Realizing you're not nearly as drunk as you should be...

7. ...and remedying that with excessiveness.

8. Realizing you got way too drunk too quickly.

9. Finding Food. Especially Free Food.

10. Fighting the "after food' exhaustion.

10. Embracing the second wave of energy. (Possible side effects include: thinking you're really good at beer pong, and/or a good dancer.)

11. Making bad decisions. (Trying to fight someone, hopping fences, etc.)

12. aaaannddd Crashing...again. Probably after another meal.

Okay, so maybe this is just MY experience with day drinking. But, honestly, what a day I had yesterday. Anyone else feel me?

p.s. Please Drink Responsibly. Seriously.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
