No hangover? No problem.

Hey, if you don't drink, you can't feel like crap in the morning... problem solved?

It feels like there's a wall.

Maybe it feels like there is a whole world between yourself, and party-goers. If you don't party, it's like you're not "cool enough" for them. But, if staying in means I'm embracing more of myself, I'm okay with that.

Forever a DD

Sometimes, you get paid to be the designated driver. Other times, it makes you want to pull all your hair out. But, we all still do it anyway because drinking and driving is a no go.

Mock-tails for life

Just because I don't drink, doesn't mean that I don't enjoy fancy beverages. What are mock-tails? Cocktails without the alcohol, my friend... and they're actually pretty tasty!

There are better things to do than drink.

Why do people think that drinking is the only activity known to mankind? Instead of going to that party you could...lipsync...watch a movie...be productive...study for an exam...volunteer your time...work out...literally anything, but it's mostly assumed that if you're a college kid, you're going to party every weekend. Is it so wrong to be productive?

You'd rather die than hear another "drunk" story

I'll admit--sometimes the stories that start with "man, I don't remember much but" or "so Friday night when I was wasted" can be entertaining, but in all honesty, a story like that just makes the party-goer look downright stupid. (and we've heard this story a thousand times already)

It makes you look bad.

Sorry, but when you drink, you look...really bad. lame. incredibly stupid. Maybe it's "fun" for you, but every sober person in the vicinity can tell you that you look awful. That's why the word "trashed" is used in place of "drunk" so much. So, uh, don't get trashed?

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.
