Friday night comes along after a long, hard week and you’re ready for a much-deserved girls' night out. You get dressed and make sure that your eyebrows are on fleek. Then, it’s off to the bar. The drinking starts and everyone's having a good time, but there is always that one friend that goes a little bit too far. By the end of the night, you'll have yourself a drunk friend. Congratulations! Now, you have to take care of her and make sure she gets home safely. Here are the 10 stages of taking care of your friend after a drunken night out.

Stage 1: You have to locate your drunk friend in the crowded bar. We all know how they like to roam.

Stage 2: Then, you have to actually get her to leave the bar. That's always a fun task.

Stage 3: Once you have found her and forced her to leave the bar, you have to get her to the car. She may resist, but don’t back down. Be persistent.


Stage 4: Now that you’re in the car, it’s your job to keep her from texting “that guy” (you know the one I’m talking about).

Stage 5: “There are no singles in your area.” Get her off of Tinder! Swipe left, girl. Just swipe left.

Stage 6: You're finally on your way home and, all of the sudden, you hear, "I want Taco Bell!" That means you have to sit in the long line at Taco Bell to appease your drunk friend's munchies. Did I mention that it's 3 a.m.?

Stage 7: Time to drive your friend to her house and assist her to her bed. She will be talking about how she’s going to be single forever so be prepared for that.

Stage 8: You have to stick around for another 30 minutes, just to be sure she doesn’t try to escape. This keeps her from doing anything stupid.

Stage 9: Make sure you remind her the next day of all of the dumb things she did the night before.

Stage 10: Now, it’s your turn to have a drunken night of fun and she gets to take care of you this time. What goes around, comes around.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
