Going out is fun and all…for the majority of younger people. But some of us twentysomethings have fallen into the “grandma” category by always opting to stay in and eat/bake cookies rather than going out. Your friends beg you to “please come, just this one time” and say things like “stop being a grandma.” In most cases, you’ll probably say “I have too much homework,” and then proceed to binge watch Grey’s on Netflix surrounded by snacks. However, whether it’s a friend’s birthday, an unavoidable bar crawl, etc., sometimes you just can’t avoid going out. So, as a fellow 22-year-old college student with my grandmother’s mindset, here are some of the most common thoughts that cross my mind when I’m forced to go out:
1. *gets to pregame* Shit. I’m tired.
2. Ugh, why am I here?
3. Omg, a dog! *pets until pregame ends*
4. Isn’t she cold wearing that dress?
5. “Sir? Where can I hang my coat?”
6. This music is too loud, omg.
7. “Do you serve wine?”
8. I miss the pregame dog.
9. My stomach burns.
10. I miss my bed.
11. – 12:15 p.m. – “Hey, what time do you want to leave?” *friend looks at you confused*
12. Friend: “Take a shot with me!” Me: Lol no.
13. Dear God, no I’m not dancing with you. Somebody please get me out of here.
14. Ok. My bed is a need at this point.
15. I wonder what’s going to happen on the next Grey’s episode…..
16. – 12:52 a.m. – “I’m getting an Uber” *friend tells you no*
17. WHEN WILL THIS END!
18. I’ve never been more exhausted in my entire life I will need two weeks to recover.
19. Friend: “Let’s go to afties!!” *dies a little inside*
20. “Can we just go home? I don’t feel good.” *friend feels bad and agrees*
21. YES I AM #BLESSED THANK YOU LORD. Comin’ for ya bed!
