1. "What do I wear?"
*Calls friend to see what she's wearing*
2. "Wait, did someone say it was a dry weekend?"
Forever second-guessing.
3. "I don't want to get too gone this weekend"
We all remember the last time you said that.
4. "Maybe I'll just offer to be the DD"
The smart choice.
5. "Wait, dressy or casual?"
You were too focused on not messing up on your mascara to actually hear what your friend said during that phone call.
6. "I really don't want to run into *insert name* tonight"
Ex-boyfriend, past fling, or girl you don't like.. there's always someone you run into.
7. "We haven't even found a place to go yet.."
And you probably won't find one until an hour after you walk out the door.
8. "I should check to make sure I have enough money for an Uber"
Just in case.
9. "Nevermind, this outfit isn't even cute"
10. "Does my winged eyeliner even match?"
The parties will be over by the time you actually get those wings to match.
11. "Shit, I have to be up early tomorrow"
This is always the last realization before you just say "f*** it" and leave.
12. "Whatever, let's just go"
The preparation for going out is never successful; there comes a time when you just have to accept it and leave.
Going out with friends is one way people choose to de-stress from the week. Although there are many other (and smarter) ways, this seems to be a popular choice, especially for the college-aged. Always remember: be smart, be safe, never leave your friends, never take a drink from a stranger, and never drink and drive.
