To most college students, Cinco de Mayo is just another excuse to get drunk on a Tuesday night, or whatever day of the week the infamous holiday lands on. Tonight you may have witnessed the throngs of students at the "official" Cinco de Mayo pub crawl. Yes, proceeds did go to charity.
So what should you do instead? Throw your own fiesta! Why not? My roommate planned a whole low key, yet fun event all on her own for some of her closet friends.
Alli made homemade sour cream and chicken enchiladas complete with rice and beans. And for those who prefer a more "festive" holiday, she had margaritas ready as well.
So next year, forget about knocking back as many tequilla shots as possible and just enjoy a night with friends. You'll probably remember more the next day anyway.
