Last Thursday I went out to Fever for their college night as the designated driver. Usually going anywhere on a college night as the DD isn't going to be the most enjoyable experience, but I decided to make the best of it and do some some people watching for my own entertainment. I discovered a few things that I thought were worth noting.

For one, even if you carry a coke in your hands people assume (especially men) that it's alcohol, and because of that will approach you much more often. Secondly, when a guy would approach me it was obviously with a future hook-up session in the back of his mind because he thought that since I was drinking I would be getting drunk in the near future.

Don't believe me? I asked every single one of them. Alcohol is the best truth serum in my opinion, and maybe they chalked my boldness up to cheeky flirtation, but when I sarcastically asked, "Do you think you're going to get anywhere flirting with me?" they all smiled and said yes. It was enough to make you swear off men for good.

When attempting to talk to my drunken girlfriends on the way home, I asked them why we even bothered putting ourselves in that situation. For a second the car got quiet until someone shouted, "because we can and it gets us drinks!" They all started laughing like we were the ones who benefited from this master scheme, but after our classes it irks me. We're the ones being degraded because we submit to taking these drinks, and after watching it done for an entire night it really bothers me what people will put out of their minds for the sake of living in the moment.
