A Step-By-Step Guide to Going Out

In the beginning, when the patriarchy created college, the Thursday Night was born. Some may argue that Thursday Night has always existed, but I beg to differ. College has perfected the Thursday Night at the bar, with each stage of the night being held to the highest esteem.

The Decision

This is the most important part of the night: your decision to actually go out. Sure, you may have that 9:00 am and probably haven't finished your homework for the next day yet, but the possibility of an awesome night and a severe case of FOMO has left you curious. Whether your friends are pressuring you to go out with them or you had a really rough week, the decision makes or breaks your night.

The Preparation

What you wear downtown has to reflect what you want from the night, but don't wear anything sleazy. Want a little dancing action? Wear that skirt while also not flashing the entire bar. Want a free drink from that creepy old guy who hangs around to stare at all of the girls? Go for it. Feeling that nice shirt you've been saving for a special occasion? You do you. Tonight is your night, friend. Carpe that diem.


The Social

You're hanging with all of your friends in one of y'all's rooms. You're probably feeling some type a way by now, with Drake playing in the background and the liquid courage running through your veins. You are in your zone, you are on top of the world, and nobody can bring you down. You are ready to go to the concrete jungle of downtown.

The Event

It's your time to shine, superstar. While some of your friends stayed behind because they couldn't make it, you can still have your moment. Do the Dougie, Cupid that shuffle, and if you want to Wobble, then Wobble. It's the one night of the week you're allowed in public to dance as badly as you want. Dance with people you just met, scream the few words you know of that song, and live up your Thursday. You deserve it!

The Ride Back

The best kind of people in your college years are the ones that are willing to be your driver. Thank these people profusely, especially when they buy you a Taco Bell Beefy 5 Layer. Your A+ friend drops you off and you take the ever-beautiful elevator back to your dorm. You crawl back to your bed because the liquid courage has unfortunately left your system. You dream of sugar plums and people raving all night long. You survived a Thursday Night.

The Friday

"Has the sun always been this bright?" will probably be one of your first questions. As you take the struggle bus to your morning class looking ratchet AF, you know that going out the night before was one of most fun things you did this week.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
