Homecoming isn't just another day on campus, nor is it one you will easily forget. Expect the stages of grief in your post-homecoming progression, only littered with regrets, good memories and glitter.
1 Day After
You wake up and watch all of the Snapchat stories your friends took the day before.
I hereby vow never to drink again.
3 Days After
You finally get around to cleaning and picking up the mountains of shot glasses and solo cups lying around your house.
Why do you even own 4,000 shot glasses? Did you break out a new one for every shot?
4 Days After
You finally begin to come to terms with the fact that homecoming is actually over.
Everything is going to be okay someday.
5 Days After
You realize that you've been so focused on homecoming that Halloween is only a few days away and you're not ready at all.
Wait, I have to have a costume bytonight?
1 Week After
You frantically check your grades to see if you can still pass your classes even though you neglected all of your responsibilities for an entire week.
Shouldn't your professors know to not schedule midterms for the three weeks on either side of homecoming?
2 Weeks After
You find a gem of a photo you had no idea you saved in that weird "Snapchat memories" archive.
Do you dare look at who you sent that to?
3 Weeks After
You finally tell that boy you gave your number to at the bar that you're not interested after he's texted you everyday for three weeks.
You would think he'd get the hint by now.
6 Months After
You find your favorite sweatshirt that got shoved behind your couch.
You actually remembered to grab that off of the bleachers at the game and bring it home? You really thought it was lost forever.
3 Years After
You're sitting at your desk at your mundane big-person job and see your pictures on Timehop.
What happened to the glory days? When did you become so ancient?
50 Years After
You're still finding glitter in your hair and laundry.
Thanks Ke$ha.
60 Years After
You come back to campus for the game.
Because there's nothing like coming home.
Ski-U-Mah!
