Going out is a process for us college kids and it takes time, effort, and a lot of thought. But aside from just slipping on our new Forever21 top that we are dying to show off, our minds tend to think some weird, wild, odd, but totally valid thoughts when getting ready for a night out on the town (or a boats and hoes themed Frat party). Our minds go to a million different places and we have to focus on what we are going to wear, who we want to go out with, where we are going, and most importantly the pregame. 

Pregaming can make or break anyone's night. From shotgunning beers with your friends, to hilarious drinking games that make a terrible mess, to shots of very cheap and not very good vodka, there is definitely a lot that goes through anyone's heads when making the transition from sober to intoxicated. 

Here are just a few of the many thoughts one often has while pregaming: 

Thought 1: Hell, yeah! Let's start this night off right!

Thought 2: Okay, wait, I need to mentally prepare myself. Give me a minute (or five).

Thought 3: Okay, I'm ready. WOOOOH. Time to get drunk!

Thought 4: ... but like not too drunk.

Thought 5: Wait, how many drinks have I had?

Thought 6: Whatever, I'll just have another.

Thought 7: But the real question is — am I trying to get it tonight ...?

Thought 8: Wow, I did not mean to get this drunk.

Thought 9: Does anyone know where we are actually going tonight, though?

Thought 10: Whatever. More shots!

Pregaming is more than simply getting hammered because It can be and often is a long mentally challenging process for anyone. In the end though, whatever one's thoughts may be and, however, one chooses to pregame, we all have the same end goal: to get hammered.
