The THOT Walk
Start writing a post

Girls Night!!!.....Led to too many shots and now you are waking up with a throbbing headache, smudged eye make up, and next to a snoring hottie. 

This is the not so romantic part to a not so memorable night. Now you have realized you cannot avoid the inevitable walk of shame.

In my personal experiences, nothing beats waking up in a shady part of town (South Park) and hiking a couple miles to my house. Want to know the best part? ESPN was at the Mountain Lair for Game Day! Crowds of children, parents, and students were rolling by and there was little old me, in a mini skirt, five and a half inch pumps, and too much cleavage for day light. I made it home without ending up on national television and now 2 years later, I can finally laugh at myself.  

For those of you who are not aware a, “THOT” is “that hoe over there”. For this circumstance, I'm sure this is what people think of females who are doing the walk of shame. The point is most men and women in college will end up doing the walk of shame at least once in their four years of college. This might seem like a nightmare to you, and trust me, stealing his jacket to cover up your embarrassed self will not make the audience waiting outside think any different of you. With this being said, the shame is all in your head. This moment is only insulting if you let it be. There are a few Do’s and Don’ts of The Walk of Shame, follow these and you will strut home.

  1. Cash: Always have at least five bucks for a cab fare. Being stranded somewhere is a no-no! If you have friends with a car, do not be afraid to ask them for help.
  2. Always have a condom on you! Safe sex is the only way to have sex.
  3. If you can't find your own clothes, get creative! Practice your awesome ABC party skills...Greek sheet robe anyone? or just take his sweatshirt and basketball shorts.
  4. Spend a few minutes in his bathroom. Take some time to get yourself together. Rub that make up off, splash some water on your face, untangle your hair, and give yourself a pep talk. Remember you do not have to rush out of there.
  5. Don't just walk out without saying goodbye or even a thank you for not murdering you in your sleep. Poke him till he wakes up and tell him you are leaving. 
  6. DO NOT BE ASHAMED! You just got laid and had a wild night. What is so wrong with that?

We're young. Live life while you can but stay safe! Let a girlfriend know you are leaving and with whom. If you had way too much to drink do not leave with a stranger. Go home and order Jimmy John with your roommate! Jimmy and John will always have your back. Remember The THOT Walk is just a moment that will pass. Laugh at yourself and move on!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
