Let’s face it, before that first Friday night drink is poured you know if you’ll be waking up in your own bed come Saturday morning. That’s just the power of being a women. I know people say we live in a male-dominant society, but when it comes to sex – we hold the key.
Either that, or our razor holds the key considering we don’t let anyone within three feet of our legs that could be featured on the “or not” side of a Skintimate commercial. BUT when we do spend that extra five minutes in the shower, it seems like the rest of the night always turns out a little more… pleasurable.
Now Friday night may have been all fun and games, but there’s nothing worse than waking up hungover in someone else’s uncomfortable bed. Oh wait yes there is… waking up hungover in someone else’s bed knowing you have to walk across campus in the outfit (if you can even call it that) and heels from the night before. Ugh.
We’ve all been there. So I’ve created this list for Collegiettes everywhere to help them transform the “walk of shame” into just a regular Saturday morning walk. Because who doesn’t take morning weekend strolls in college?
1. Fast Flats. If you don’t have anything else on this list, have these. They’re small and cheap (hopefully opposite of the guy you went home with). Remember, nothing says, “I just had sex last night” more than walking home in 4 inch heels at 9am on Saturday morning.
2. Make up wipes & hair tie. Mascara running down your face is never a good look any day of the week and it’s definitely not the look you want your “new friend” to remember you by. As for the hair tie, there’s no prediction how unruly your hair might look after a night of tequila shots. Tip: most make up wipes come in containers of 100 or more. Try putting one or two in a zip block baggie so it can fit in your satchel.
3. Leggings – this is something I’m sure every Collegiettes reading this article already owns. Fortunately for us, it’s becoming socially acceptable to wear these out (with the right leggings and right outfit that is). If you had these already with you, and your fast flats, you’ve basically got a regular Saturday morning outfit. Versatility is our friend.
4. Weather – You may want to avoid sleeping out if you know Saturday morning is expected to have heavy rain showers. This will pretty much reverse any good your make up wipe did for the remnants of last night’s black eye make up. Not to mention you’ll probably get even more stares walking in a dress while it’s raining with no umbrella…
5. A friend – now considering we live in New England and the weather predictions are about as solid as a party not getting broken up, you should have that one friend on call either to pick you up or if she really loves you just come for the walk.
6. A coat – I know we all avoid bringing a coat at all costs, including freezing our bums off while we wait in line at the bar, but a coat will always look better than walking in 40 degree weather in a crop top.
7. However, if you didn’t bring a coat there’s no shame in asking to “borrow” a sweatshirt or sweatpants. He doesn’t have to know you have no intention of returning these items. How else are we supposed to get our fix of oversized men’s clothes? They’re so in right now. Not to mention comfortable AF.
8. Get the digits – there’s a very high chance that you forgot an earring or your underwear.
9. Don’t text him though if you don’t really want to see him again and it’s just your underwear. Could be awkward and not worth it. Also gives you an excuse to hit up the next 7 for $26 sale at Victoria’s Secret. Now that’s worth it.
10. If you DO like him – get the digits, “accidentally” leave your underwear and let the rest happen from there.
But remember Collegiettes – even if you don’t have anything listed above, you should never actually be ashamed of your “walk of shame.” Own it.
