10 Reasons Going Out Isn't So Easy

Going out has a lot more struggles than what everyone thinks.

10 Reasons Going Out Isn't So Easy

Every week, we get stuck in the same cycle of classes, homework, and projects, but as soon as it hits Thursday afternoon it's the weekend (or Friday if you made the biggest mistake and registered for Friday classes). From morning classes to the longest 10 minutes in your last class and rallying all night, here are 10 reasons why going out isn't as easy as people think.

1.) Sitting through classes.

Sitting in class knowing you're going out tonight makes focusing and actually paying attention that much harder. Your professors know that this is the only thing between you and the weekend, but don't hurry up any lectures so we can get out early and start the party.

2.) Downing coffee.

After having classes and school work all week, you're all sorts of wiped out. Therefore, I start pumping coffee through an IV so I don't fall asleep before we even make it out.

3.) Finishing last minute work.

Knowing I somewhat have my life together before going out makes it acceptable in my head. So I'm just going to get through all the last bit of homework that has to be done.

4.) Deciding on an outfit.

Trying to decide what to wear is probably the hardest decision I make every day. There are about 50 different vibes you can go with, depending on what you wear and every place you go has a different feel.

5.) Doing your makeup

Less is more, and we all know this, but why do I always end up piling on makeup? Watching makeup tutorials videos while doing my makeup always seems like a smart idea, but clearly, my capabilities of blending aren't there yet. For now ill just keep going with the drag queen look and hope for the best.

6.) The Pregame

We all over shoot on this one. Trying to drink everything you can in like an hour...it's not the smartest move. Make sure you remember it's a marathon to last all night, not a quick race.

7.) Line to get in

The wait to get in feels like an eternity and my feet are not meant to stand in heels for longer than like five minutes. Next time I'm skipping to the front of the line and walking in like all the movies.

8.) Mixing

I hope I'm not the only one that knows better than to mix what I'm drinking, but I somehow always do end up switching it up all night and always regret it the next morning.

9.) Ending up on the dance floor

I don't know whose idea it ever is or who lets me go out and start dancing, but I do not like you.

10.) Finally making it home

In reality, this is the best part of the night. Shoes are coming off, sweat pants are going on, and I'm crawling into bed. I don't plan on moving from my bed till it's time get ready for tomorrow night, so please don't disturb.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
