With every great night out comes great memories, but then again, with every great night out there also tends to be a great lack of memories as well.
For centuries, philosophers have wondered what the hell happened last night. According to Urban Dictionary, the phrase "what did I do last night" can only be defined as "The question you ask yourself or your friends after a night of heavy drinking. Often, you do not want to hear the response, but need to know if you should apologize to anyone or get checked for STDs.
You usually spend the rest of the day dwelling on the events of the past night and slapping yourself on the head".
Even Bo Burnham has wondered what has happened for him the night prior, writing WDIDLN expressing in song exactly how many people feel upon waking up.
These seven questions will undoubtably be asked if you had what many would consider (there's no way to know for sure because you just don't remember) a potentially great night out.
1. Where did I go?
Upon waking up, one of the great wonders you might have are where did you actually end up last night? Knowing where you went will definitely help you piece together the rest of your night.
2. What are these pictures from?
You might have pictures, you might not. But sometimes the pictures you do have are not the ones you expected. While they can help you piece together some other aspects of the night, they also might force you to relive some moments you wish you hadn't remembered
3. I said that?
Going through your texts the next day can show you all the terrible conversations had. Maybe you texted an ex, maybe you texted someone you currently like, maybe you texted your parents. Regardless, it probably didn't go well.
4. How much did I have to drink?
At what point did you lose count is also a good question to ask. But if you feel like death, chances are you didn't cut yourself off as soon as you should have, or at all. Knowing how much you had also can help you justify things that occurred.
5. How much money did I spend?
Looking at your debit card balance might be a worthwhile thing to check. This can also help you figure out how much you had to drink, if you went to a bar, or if you got late night food.
6. Who was I with?
Just because you went out with certain people does not mean you stayed out with them. You might have switched groups of people three to five times. Figuring out who you were with can also help you do damage control with them in the morning.
7. Where did this come from?
Whether it be a bruise, a hickey, or a stolen good, you might end up with items you didn't go out with. Once again, identifying where they came from can really help you figure out just what the hell you did last night.
