What Your Favorite Alcohol Says About You
Michael McDonald

What you drink says a lot about you; almost as much as where you're drinking it. Maybe you're at the hottest club, dancing the night away. Maybe you're at the hole-in-a-wall bar having a delightful conversation with the bartender who resembles your grandfather. Maybe you're home alone, surrounded by your six cats, eating an entire bag of pizza rolls. I don't know. I'm not here to judge.

Wine

Wine drunk is the kind of drunk everyone wants to be/have around. The wine drinker is bubbly, sweet, and gives out the best compliments. It’s also the classiest drunk even when they’re drinking out of a box, because, well…it’s still wine.

Wine Coolers

Not to be confused with wine, this person is drinking a juice box with a 5% alcohol content. Mike’s Hard Lemonade is not an exception, either. This person has graduated to neither beer nor liquor, so they’re stuck in the sickly sweet purgatory that is a wine cooler, and within five minutes is telling everyone around them their deepest and darkest secrets while crying.

Gin

You’re very classy. Possibly an international spy. Possibly a grandmother. Either way, you’re a martini lover and know that a gin and tonic is the perfect end to a long day of crime fighting. Or knitting.

Vodka

You’re probably a freshman. Either that or you haven’t learned your favorite liquor yet, so you want to drink just enough to justify all the mistakes that you’ll inevitably make that night. The vodka drinker will most likely spend the next day laying in bed and crying over their poor decisions in a hangover from hell.

Beer

Beer is what you drink when you’re already drunk and also down to your last $5. Or you’re day drinking and have to keep going all day long. Or you’re bonging off the frat house roof. Or you’re taking a shower.

Tequila

Tequila drinkers are balls-to-the-wall crazy. They don’t take no for an answer and are probably the ones who end the night singing “Drunk in Love” on top of the bar. They aren’t sipping on tequila because they like the taste…they want to get drunk and they want it to happen NOW. This friend is a tad shambly and a lot of fun. And yes, I made up the word shambly, but you can imagine that it’s truly a perfect description of a girl on a mission with tequila in hand. Tequila to kill ya!

Whiskey

The type of person who drinks whiskey is the same as whiskey itself: hard but fun. They aren’t going to take any crap from you, and the night might end in a fight (or two or seven). Your whiskey friend is definitely taking back-to-back shots, possibly while riding a bull and/or carving a bear from a tree.

Bourbon

Drinking bourbon screams that you probably have a trust fund and the bottle comes with a starter pack of Vineyard Vines Ts, boat shoes, and a “my dad will sue you” mentality. Also, you demand that it be served with only one ice cube because you simply cannot water down your 100-year aged Bourbon.

Rum

Rum is spring break in a bottle. It is filled with mistakes, regret, and sand in places sand should never be. It is a delicious flavor that tempts you with its pretty bottle, and like a siren, it will wreck you.

Champagne

If you’re a champagne drinker, then you most likely belong to a country club, and you’re sporting a $400 handbag. Also, you wouldn’t be caught in a dive bar; you prefer VIP at the most elite club. Either that or you’re on vacation in Mexico and downing mimosas like it’s nobody’s business.

Schnapps

You’re a foreign exchange student from Germany. This is the only acceptable scenario in which Schnapps is a favorite.

Jäger

I don’t know what kind of animal you are. You probably don’t actually know how to spell jäger, but you do know how to scream that you want it from across the bar. You might have a fake ID and you definitely have a “bro.”

So whether you drink a classy glass of wine or bong beer after beer, at least, you're having a good time doing it.

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.
