Put your sombrero and fake mustache
on and get ready to party! Yup, it is finally that time of the year again where
we celebrate the Anniversary of the Battle of Puebla (I’m totally screwing with
you, in fact I had to Google that.). Anyways here in the US its more of a day
where we all pretend to be Hispanic and get sloppy at the local Mexican
restaurant…unless of course you have gone above and beyond to be more creative
than this and are throwing a festive shindig at your place. Nevertheless,
sloppy.
I didn’t really start “celebrating” [i.e.
chugging margaritas until I thought my last name Perry was Pablo] until my
freshman year of college where everyone made it clear that in University world
this was a real unofficial holiday. People are either dressed quite, eh… well
racist, or just being typical white girl wasted.
Recently I really started thinking to myself,
“holy shit, for such an inapplicable holiday to my life I sure do spend a whole
lotta money on it.” I mean for all I, the typical white girl, knows this could
be some kind of Mexican conspiracy- make all of us clueless idiots buy a bunch
of expensive margaritas, shitty Coronas and killer tequila shots. Ok, not much
of a conspiracy, but say hello to being hungover and broke on May 6th.
I personally plan on going to this
little hidden gem called “Fiesta” where they have cheap ass margaritas, they
BLAST Spanish music throughout the entire bar and everyone is there to much
like the name, FIESTA. Seriously, for 20 dollars you can get like 4 huge ass margaritas
like its nothing, which sure beats out the Chili’s I went to last year. The
game plan: invite as many people over my apartment from the hours of 3-5 pm,
chug tequila, then call a cab to this godforsaken bar which is conveniently 4
minutes down the road (better safe than sorry). Upon arrival I will chug more
tequila from 530-10pm. Then back to the cab.
Seriously guys, chugging tequila and calling
for a ride home go taco and taco, I mean hand and hand. So be safe, have fun and try to not make too much of a jackass out of yourselves this year! EY EY EY!
