One part of sorority and fraternity date functions that is totally underrated: party cups. Those precious things that you only need two of, that they tell you to dump but don't actually check, that usually save you a fair amount of money when it comes to buying drinks. The process of getting them ready, however, is a little less precious. Here are 25 thoughts we all have while trying to make party cups for date functions:

1. Wait what are they talking about? Party cups? Why are they talking about party cu—oh no.

2. Our event is in in less than one week and I have completely forgotten about having to get party cups!

3. I mean what do I expect—it's me!

4. OK, OK, is Party City open? Probably not, the hours are so weird.

5. Oh wow! It's open! All right, ladies, let's stop talking about them and go get them!

6. Hmm...what color?

7. OK, well my outfit would match with these colors.

8. What if my date hates that color?

9. Oh no, should I ask him what his favorite color is?

10. Forget it. This one goes with my dress so this is the one we'll be using.

11. OK, to the checkout we go...why does it cost that much money for plastic cups and flimsy lids?

12. The paint pens I have at home better be ready and raring to go because there is no way I am buying any more of those right now.

13. I need a job. Also, maybe some artistic skills.

14. OK, now I’m going to put this off for a few days *four days later*

15. OK, these cups have been sitting on my desk hauntingly for far too long. Good thing I have a test tomorrow! The perfect way to procrastinate!

16. OK, what’s the theme what’s the theme…

17. How am I supposed to come up with something for that?!

18. Oh nice, my roommate has a Pinterest board for it!

19. That design seems easy enough! Let’s pencil it out. That way I can’t mess it up…right?!

20. All right, great, it looks awful.

21. Maybe I just need to color it in and it’ll be okay.

22. Do y’all think this is OK? Yeah, it’ll be fine, right?

23. I’ve never seen a cup so early. Why did I do this? Why do I overestimate my painting abilities?

24. Someone get the remover pen STAT!!!

25. “Meghan, how much do you charge to paint cups?
