It's the best time of the year... right after football season of course. Darty season is upon us! If you don't know what a darty is, it's a day party. Thanks to darties, we have mastered the art of rallying. We go out Friday night just to wake up still drunk Saturday morning, get a mimosa at brunch, head to the gas station for beer and get ready for the darties. Darties are all fun and games until we wake up from our darty naps around 7 p.m.
1. Where am I?
Okay so most of the time we're in our own bed but waking up from any nap usually leads to confusion.
2. What time is it?
"Is it dark outside or is it just dark in my room?" "Did I miss the pregame?"
3. Where is everything?!
The panic sets in and we realize we have no idea where our cell phone, money or dignity is. Then suddenly we find (almost) everything in the middle of the floor and make a successful attempt to reach for it without leaving the bed.
4. My head is going to explode.
"This is it. This is where I die from my hangover." I have said that to myself multiple times and I know I'm not alone. Whether you drank beer, a Four Loko, wine or ices; you have a killer headache.
5. I need Dominos.
Most of the time we aren't craving Dominos, we crave the connivence of Dominos. They accept dining dollars, delivery to your front door and it's delivery is usually the perfect amount of time needed to get out of bed.
6. Why am I the way I am?
We all make mistakes that we regret but in a few years I'm sure some of them will be worth it... or at least a funny story.
7. I shouldn't waste what few nights I have left in college.
Arguing with ourselves when trying to decide if we should find out where the pregame is for tonight is completely useless. We always decide it is a good idea to rally.
8. Okay, I can do this.
Giving yourself a pep talk while getting out of bed is the only way I get out of bed. We need to make sure we aren't going to throw up before the Dominos delivery man gets here.
9. Stop talking about rallying and just do it.
It's time to get moving. There's usually only an hour from the time we get out of bed to get to the pregame. Eat, shower, make a drink, start the process of putting yourself together and get to the pregame.
10. LETS GO!
After a few pep talks from yourself and friends and a couple of drinks, we're ready to party! Pregame, bars and some late night food until we end up back in our bed where we started.
It's a blessing and a curse being able to rally so rally with caution y'all. Lastly, HAPPY DARTY SEASON EVERYONE!
