Drink To Shitty Situations Day

A few years ago, I had an idea (dangerous, I know). The idea was simple: Every year shitty situations happen to everyone. People deal with these and life moves on of course, but surely we can do a little better than that. What about reflection, sharing, knowing you aren’t alone? The idea was to combine all these things into one event which I have called ‘Drink To Shitty Situations Day’. The goal is to get a group of people together, reflect on the past year, bitch about shitty situations, drink copious amounts of alcohol, and have a good time. I would like to think that the other day was the third successful such event.

Traditionally held at the end of the year, this time it was held at the beginning. I’m actually liking that choice of time better, as it allows people to actually reflect on their past year, and does not involve so much scheduling problems, like exams. Sure, as always there were some complications (and I’m sorry to everyone who was wondering where the hell I was), but all in all I had a good time with some good friends.

I could go into details, but Ann basically lists most of the highlights here.

To poor choices, shitty situations, and those people that help us see it all through.
