15 Things That Happen the Morning After a Drunken Night Out

We all know about the piercing headaches and the throw up, but what about everything else that happens after that?

1. Confusion sets in.

You wake up to the gleaming sun shining through your blinds and a pounding headache. You squint your eyes and look around as you try to make sense of things. Where the hell are you? Is this home? How did you even get here?

2. Intense hunger.

You need to eat, but you’re too lazy to move.

2. The cellphone manhunt.

Your eyes widen and your heart jumps— your hands feel around your comforter, lifting pillows and throwing them off the bed. WHERE IS YOUR PHONE?

3. You see a text saying, “Can we talk about last night?”

But… what did happen last night?

4. You examine the digital evidence.

Once you finally find your phone (it was on the nightstand the entire time), it’s time to search for answers—what the f**k happened last night? You unlock your phone and open Snapchat, tapping on each of your friend’s stories in search for evidence. Your hand shoots to your mouth in shock at what you see.

5. REGRET/ANGER/EMBARRASSMENT.

You slump in your bed, bring the blanket over your head, and groan. The first thought to enter your head? “Why, why, why, why, whhhhy?” Why are you so embarrassing? Why did your friends let you do that? Why did you even go out in the first place?

6. You call your friends.

Still not understanding how exactly you made it home, you call your friends—partially to make sure they know you’re alive, and partially so you can yell at them.

7. You think about cleaning up.

As you lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, rubbing your eyes from tiredness, you begin to notice the burning of your eyes. You forgot to take off your makeup before passing out and you’re still in last night’s clothes. You should probably get yourself cleaned up, you think to yourself, as you continue to lie in your bed and stare at your ceiling.

8. You remember the cute guy/girl you met.

You see a new contact in your phone and smile. Should you text them now? Are they going to text you first?

9. You become the ultimate social media stalker.

You manage to find their Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/YouTube pages just from their phone number. The CIA should hire you.

10. You wonder how you can get water without leaving your bed.

Because at this point, you’re not leaving your bed for anything. Not even thirst.

11. You notice a McDonald’s bag full of fries.

Your drunken self is a godsend.

12. Snapchat the rest of your friends to let them know that you’re alive.

Smeared eyeliner, scarecrow hair and all.

13. Aching legs and feet.

After you finally convince yourself to stand up, you realize that you can’t and fall back into the comfort of your bed. You need to recover from dancing.

15. You see all the missed calls from your Uber driver.

Well, guess you walked home. Maybe that’s why your feet hurt so much…
