RESPONSES!

That’s funny that you say you're the only one to think its cool to be seen carrying a star bucks cup. But hey Im with you on that. In high school, we would have late start days and often times, I remember seeing the cool kids rush into class(even if jepordized them being late ), with a venti white chocolate mocha or even a hot coco just to be seen with a Starbucks cup, especially in class. I guess it gives confidence to look mature and older I guess. Good insite on that though. Even though starbucks has grown to be more of an accessory than the joy of the coffee itself, Star bucks does have some very good tasting drinks. In the star bucks at the union, last semester me and a bunch of friends would always get the same drink and the workers eventually gave it a nick name as the LONG BEACH TEA. It’s a Venti Black Tea with 10 pumps classics and an inch of half and half. You should try it. Its $2.55, so its cheap, and its really tasty. But it doesn’t have caffeine. Mmh Idea for next Blog, but yeah, try it. LONG BEACH TEA at the union Starbucks, they’ll know what youre talking about.

So I follow the Kogi Bbq Truck on Twitter, but I’ve never had the time to actually try to follow it on the road. It seems like an adventure to follow the Kogi truck. I know if I had the time and gas and patience to follow it I probably would. But realistically, is all the time you put into following a moving truck filled with food worth it. Probably are huh, since people form long lines for these trucks. But whats the food like? What kind of Korean barbeque meet do they use inside the taco? If I ever have free time, gas to kill, and money I am going to try this growing addiction to the Kogi Truck.

YO QUEIRO TACO BELL!?!


YAY, Yippie. It’s the freaking weekend, about to have me some fun. So hanging out with your friends on a typical Friday night seems routine yet exciting. Maybe hitting a coffee shop or watching the last flick in the theatres, anything sounds fun. Imagine going out to a late night party kicking back, drink a few drinks, mingle with some new people, and suddenly it’s past your bedtime. So you hop in the car, buckle up and turn on the engine, and play your favorite song and head home. Suddenly you feel the acute tingle of hunger in the pits of your stomach, as you drive further away from the fun and closer to home, eventually food consumes the thoughts in your mind. Its late, where am I suppose to get a bite to eat; everything is closed. Then the sight of a food joint fills your vision, with the bright lights OPEN illuminating the dark midst of the night. Excitement rushes not only in your mind, but also throughout the walls of your empty stomach. TACO BELL to the rescue saving your late night fix.

Taco Bell is on of the many fast food venues offering a cheap and tasteful menu. Unlike Carl’s Jr. and In-N-Out, Taco Bell specializes in foods of Mexican decent, in competition with Del Taco.

Even though Taco Bell doesn’t have the most authentic taco, or the most flavorful beans, you have to admit Taco Bell has fixed a craving or hunger at least once in your lifetime. (And if it hasn’t, if you’re ever feeling hungry or cheap, Taco Bell offers a tasty chicken burrito with brown rice, artificial guacamole sauce, all wrapped in a fair sized burrito all for 89 cents.)

Taco Bells’ offering of a late might menu provide food in convenience with the different types of lifestyles we each live. As for me, Taco Bell supplies my demand for food when I want it and for a cheap price. I have to admit, it isn’t the best Mexican food ive ate, but damn does taste good on a late night.

BEER PONG CHAMPS


The legal drinking age in the United States no matter where you are is twenty-one. Supposedly at the age of twenty-one, you are matured and ready to handle the responsibilities and actions of an adult. Drinking alcohol is one of these responsibilities and actions of adults. However, underage drinking is as common as cars on the 405 freeway at rush hour. Even though it is illegal in all fifty states, whether we like it or not, alcohol is being consumed by minors. Parties of all ages; varying from high school to college parties partake in underage drinking. Often times at these social gatherings; a universally known drinking game is played by many under aged partygoers; BEER PONG!

BEER PONG is a common and simple game. It is usually set up with 10 cups (or MORE) in a triangle, on both sides of a long table, filled up a little less than half way of the cup by using two (or MORE) 12oz. beers per each side. The objective of the game is competing against the other team, who stands on the opposite end of the table, by throwing a ping-pong ball into the opponent’s cups. Each shot made means drinking that cup. Eventually the team making the most shots will eliminate each cup and by that, ultimately winning the game.

Alcohol has been illegal for anyone under the age of twenty-one since 1984. That’s twenty five years that underage drinking has been prohibited. Despite what the law says, many minors are partaking in this drinking activity.

Honestly, in my opinion, Beer pong makes fun happen while drinking. Before the whole being drunk stage, beer pong gives party goers not just entertainment, but competition. It makes drinking fun while giving competition. Even though we hate to admit it, underage drinking does occurs, and what makes it worst, games are now created making the consumption of alcohol enjoyable.

Beer Pong has grown to be a routine addition to my weekends out. I have a particular cousin who throws parties or kick backs on the regular. She even has a permanent table set up for beer pong in her back yard. I am not going to lie, I have been a participant in this growing drinking epidemic and I will say that it was without a doubt, a very fun and social past time.
