The Holiday Drinking Game
1st Mariner Bank

Holiday break is finally here! You know what that means! Time for naps, free time, aaaannndd.... family dinners. Once you finish shuddering, continue reading please.

Now if you are anything like me, you get along well with your direct family. But once Christmas Eve hits, you are faced with plenty of uncles and cousins you see once or twice a year. These events always make for some drama.

Take a shot if....

An adult asks you how your finals went.

An adult asks you if you have a boy/girl friend (and take two if they ask if you have a partner that doesn't match your sexual orientation.)

A kid asks if you have a boy/girl friend.

"Come give _____ a kiss." (and take two if you are over the age of 20.)

Someone passes a baby to you for you to watch.

People go and excuse themselves into the kitchen to argue.

Someone is gifted a candle.

Politics are brought up.

"Hey who's parked behind Uncle ____?"

Someone is drunkenly singing Christmas carols.

Finish your drink if...

You are in a relationship and someone asks when you're getting married.

An unexpected (and uninvited) guest shows up.

Someone hands you a baby and says, "you're next, you know."

Someone receives an offensive gift.

A relatives ex-girlfriend or wife is brought up.

Someone takes the, "well how about our new president," bait.

Someone is drunkenly stumbling.

Just grab the whole bottle if...

"You know I know this nice boy...."

A heated political discussion begins.

Your unexpected guest starts arguing with someone else outside.

A child starts riding the dog like a horse.

Someone drops a glass plate in the kitchen.

Someone brings up conspiracy theories.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
