This drink is exactly what you need after the whirlwind year of 2020: intense, bright, tart and super easy to make at your convenience. Although this drink is a twist on a classic coconut martini, the pineapple adds a balance of sweetness and acidity. Just make sure to get “turnt” responsibly and enjoy your drink.

College Tips for Freshman
Make your classes your top priority. As an incoming college student, you’ve got to be thinking about all kinds of opportunities that will emerge. From living in some cool new city to possibilities of going to “crazy college parties,” you are probably thinking about all kinds of exciting things that college has to offer.
Shoot for perfect attendance in your classes. Sure, this goal may be hard to achieve- but at least shoot for it. Attendance is a better predictor of success in college than is just about anything. It is a better predictor of college GPA than are SAT scores, for instance.
Don’t even come close to plagiarizing. There is nothing worse than plagiarism. Students who are called out on plagiarism may claim that they didn’t know that they were doing constituted plagiarizing, and they often are surprised when professors take punitive actions.
Take notes with a good old pen and paper. Occasionally, a student will take notes with a laptop or Ipad. This makes your professors wary. Writing out notes during class is a critical skill that will help you best learn the material.
