Going out is known as a staple here at Florida State University, and pretty much a trial and error experience. As most college kids can tell you when going out, you win some, you lose some. If you haven't taken an L, have you really experienced the nasty? I asked some fellow Noles what their Do's and Don'ts of going out in Tally were, but if we're being honest, the list is really endless.
Do's:
1. Always have a DD or use Uber
2. Eat something before drinking
3. Go together, leave together
4. Pregame hard, drinks are expensive
5. AYCD is always worth it
6. Bring money, you know you'll be hungry af after
7. Get cash out
8. Have Gumby's or Guthries after
9. Drink water before you go to bed
10. Get the cheapest ID you can find, no one actually cares if it looks like you
11. Purg at Pots is a must, but get there early to get your full $10 worth of drinks
Don'ts:
1. DO NOT EVER DRINK AND DRIVE
2. Ever let someone convince you that all roads lead to Coli
3. Leave alone
4. Stay past closing
5. Go to Tabu
6. Go out if you have an exam the next morning - no matter how appealing it sounds, it is never a good idea
7. Bring your credit/debit card, unless you want to wake up with a significantly smaller bank account
8. Bring a boy home (they will have sex with you, then leave, and never talk to you again)
9. Take a swig of Skol and think you don't need a chaser, you need a chaser
10. Text that boy (you will regret it in the morning)
11. Don't be the asshole that sprays Champagne on everyone
