In your twenties (at least 21, of course!), the weekends are a time for letting loose. Whether it’s a break from your academic life or work life, socializing with friends with a side of drinks is just what the doctor ordered. Although, there is the dreaded morning after…it’s truly inevitable. Here are the 6 stages of a hangover.
1. The Wake-Up
Goood morning, sunshine! Happy Saturday! How ya feelin’? Better check your purse for your wallet, keys, and dignity.
2. The Exit of Thee Bedroom
After some heavy contemplating, you figure that you should probably force yourself to make moves. Let’s start slow, perhaps by exiting the bedroom. Look at you go!
3. The Attempt of Home Remedies
Even though you are well-aware that some coffee, Gatorade, or greasy food will NOT make you feel good as new, you’re going to give it a go anyways.
4. Checking in with the troops
Alright, so it’s mid-afternoon now and you’re feeling slightly less crappy. You decide it would be a good idea to go check if your friends are alive. Of course you guys need to figure out what the heck happened last night.
5. Revival
After some heavy gossip, food, and laying on the couch for a few more hours with your girls you finally start to feel like yourself again. You have overcome a great obstacle in life. Bring it on world, you thought you knocked me down, but we back!
6. Back in Action
You and your girls are feeling
100% again and ready to take on local nightlife once more! Stay tuned tomorrow for the Sunday edition of your hangover when you are feeling just as crappy, if not10 times more. Enjoy!
Although hangovers feel like the end of the world, the memories you create in your twenties are irreplaceable. Remember, you’ll never be as young and alive as you are are right now. Take advantage of it. Stay fresh.
