39 Thoughts Every Student Has On Paddy's Day
It's that time of year again! The time when every single person from across the globe decides they want to come to Dublin (or just Ireland in general) to celebrate the magic that is St. Paddy's Day. If you've been in Dublin or the Dublin area your whole life, you know what a crazy mess this place becomes. At the same time though, it can be a bit of craic if you're doing it right.
