11 Reasons Why Your Sleepover Is Like A One Night Stand As Told By "Gossip Girl"

Fanpop

The worst part of a one-night stand is that feeling of regret. Let's be honest––you're likely to never see that person again. Or, if it's a booty call, you may be left wanting more. So, thank god for sleepovers with your best friends. They have all of the best qualities of a one-night stand and are like Netflix without the "chill." That doesn't mean its all good, however. Below are 11 reasons why a sleepover with your bestie might just remind you of a one night stand.

1. It all starts with a late night text

"Hey. Open the door. I'm outside." Welp, good thing I'm wearing pants.

2. She shows up at the door with food

Whoever said love can't be bought was wrong. Chinese is the way to my heart.

3. You all "Netflix and chill" without the "chill"

Binge-watching "Gossip Girl" is a way of life. And who better to share it with than your bestie? XOXO.

4. You end up sleeping on the floor, couch, or basically anywhere other than the bed

Six episodes in and moving any body part takes way too much effort. At least you're nice and don't give her the short couch.

5. "I'll wake up on time," said no one ever

Around episode five, you thought it was a good idea not to set an alarm. Wrong. Bad idea, baaad idea.

6. Some people are worth freezing for

Your personal space heater snuck out during the night. Now you're freezing with goosebumps and chattering teeth. Not cool.

7. You reach for your coconut milk shampoo, and come back with some Garnier Fructise mango thing

Did she really leave her shampoo again? And now my hair will be all voluminous and plush instead of healthy and moisturized. Ughhhh.

8. No one will notice this is the same shirt I wore yesterday, right?

Nothing is clean, again. And yesterday's shirt is conveniently next to the bed. Maybe it will look different if I wear my hair up.

9. Where are my favorite leggings?

She wouldn't dare steal my absolute favorite leggings, would she?

10. "Hi boss, I know I'm late. Please ignore me."

Maybe no one will notice I'm late if I slouch in my seat. Did I remember to brush my teeth? Crap.

11. Even after everything, you can't wait to do it again

"Hey, what are you doing? Wanna come over?"

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.
