Recently featured in the Style section of the New York Times, the "Snap Pack," a modern brat pack of sorts, has cultivated amongst the social lives of millennials everywhere. This particular feature focuses on a group of NYC twenty-somethings Kyra Kennedy, daughter of a Kennedy Jr., Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump's daughter, Andrew Warren, grandson of David Warren, a successful clothing manufacturer, and other similar trust fund babies. The idea is that a typical outing for the group is centered around Snapchat and, basically, taking lots of "Insta-worthy" pictures throughout the night.
They bop around from designer showroom parties to up-and-coming restaurants and exclusive clubs, all while documenting their luxe and lavish travels via Snapchat. Hence, The Snap Pack.
Naturally, we lust after their lifestyle. Of course, who wouldn’t want to amp up their social media scene with raw footage and pictures of some of the most elite spots in NYC?
Since we’re stuck in New Brunswick for now, though, here are some elite spots to feature on your Snapchat with your RU Snap Pack during a night out:
- First picture: Your pack posing in your dimly lit dorm room/apartment. Maybe you’ve hung a tapestry to make it extra edgy, or maybe you have a solid white brick background. Either way, this pic will be the opening act of your night out.
- Cliche snap-vid of you and your pack taking your first shots of the night and/or reply chugging.
- Making your way to the bus stop … this one is a must-have. See below: making your way to the bus stop at the end of the night.
- Trying to keep your voices to "bus-level" once those shots kick in…
- *First selfie of the night* featuring yourself and friend #1 and possibly a corny "Hub City" geotag.
- Snap vid of your pack arriving to your destination, i.e Phi Delt or Chi Psi.
- Blurry video of crowded basement and your white clothing glowing in the blacklight. You probably think your Snapchat followers will be able to see this on their screens as well, but they can’t.
- Another blurry snap-vid of your friends singing (screaming) to Fetty Wap.
- Dancing selfie of you and friend #2. Somewhat blurry, but not that horrible.
- Embarrassing toilet shot/vid of friends #2 and #3 while you hold their belongings. They’re probably flipping you off or something, too.
- Snap-vid of everyone evacuating the basement because the party got busted. Cups everywhere, friend #4 slips on some sort of liquid on the floor while exiting and this is pure Snap-gold.
- Snap-vid of your pack heading to the bus stop. Much less put together than the first video and a lot louder.
- Picture of a slice of pizza, or the line at Hansel featuring friend #3 and the caption ‘Decided we were hungry," or something close to that.
- Snap of someone slumped on the bus.
- Finally, you’ve completed your snap-pack night out. To celebrate, you may Snap a black screen with the time on it, or a group selfie with your pack.
We all have those nights, and we all love to Snapchat every single detail of them. We may not be ready to conquer some real VIP spots in NYC, like the aforementioned snap pack, but for now, your snap pack is better off in the Brunz.
