Why Being The Designated Driver Is Actually Fun

What's better than people watching?

Why Being The Designated Driver Is Actually Fun
collegehumor

When you and your friends are planning to go out, two of the most important questions are: "How are we going to get there?" and "How are we going to get back?" Sure, you can always call an Uber but not every college student is made of money (even if it's just $5). Whether you take turns or just offer, there is usually a designated driver. While that sounds pretty boring, sometimes being the DD is more fun than you would think. Here's why.

1. You get to people watch (and remember all of it).


2. You will be called an angel or someone's savior at least three times because you are bringing them home.

3. You get to make a fool out of yourself and probably no one will notice.

4. You can save your friends from making terrible mistakes... like that guy over there.

5. If you offer to buy drunk people food, there's a chance they will buy some for you.

6. You don't have to dress up.

7. You get to handle the aux cord.

8. You won't consume the calories from alcohol.

9. You can remind people of all the funny/embarrassing things they did.

10. You won't have to be reminded and so you will regret nothing.

11. You wake up with no hangover.


Everyone should go out and try to be the DD; not only will you be the responsible one to watch out for your friends and others, but you may end up having a great time!

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.
