10 Reasons Ben & Jerry’s Is Bae

Ben & Jerry’s is one of the most consumed ice cream producers in the United States, but what a lot of people don’t know is that these guys are also amazing in every sense of the word!

What Are the Actual Effects of Smoking Weed and Drinking at the Same Time?

Some people think it is whether you see the glass as half full or half empty, but you and I know it is what’s inside that counts.

Types of People You Meet at a Typical College Tailgate

Speaking from experience, I met tons of people during my first tailgate and I can almost guarantee you that each one fit one of these descriptions: 18) The Governor: This is the guy wearing a suit and tie in the sweltering heat, and yes, he’s also probably in Student Government. 17) Miss Sweetheart: THAT girl that everyone wishes to be, and she really is genuinely sweet. Almost too sweet. She’s probably from Mississippi or Alabama because that Southern charm is just so obvious. 16) Stereotypical White Girl: You know. The girl with the North Face backpack and monogrammed water bottle. She’s most likely wearing Nike sneaks and leggings with her spirit wear.
