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?

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.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
