Going back to school it also means going back to the bars. If you are 21 years old, going to the local bars every Tuesday and Thursday night is practically a tradition. You go and get drunk, dance, meet some people, and have a great time. Every night out something new is bound to happen, but one thing that keeps on staying the same are the type of people that I see. Each week it may be someone different taking on the role but, without a doubt, that type of person will show up.
1. The one who's too drunk for their own good.
This person usually is the one dancing on the bar, or lying over a toilet in the bathroom. They pre-gamed way too hard and will probably not remember what or who they did in the morning. They are bumping into people, spilling drinks, and just being plain obnoxious. Avoid this person, or risk having your night ruined by getting kicked out with them.
2. The one who is way too sober.
This person is usually in a corner somewhere with the look of “I hate my life” written all over their face. They were probably tricked somehow into being DD and are now kicking themselves for falling for it. They want nothing more than to take a cranberry vodka to the face and be as drunk as everyone else, but they signed up to be responsible for the night and have to stand by that.
3. The babysitter.
So you remember that drunk person that was cradling the toilet, well the babysitter is probably holding their hair. They are making sure that their friend doesn’t do something that could ultimately get them killed. When someone wonders off, they are first to be a part of the search team and they have no problem telling you that you have had enough and cutting you off. They’ll get you home and make sure you have a bottle of water by the side of your bed and in the morning you will be praising for their existence.
4. The flirt.
This girl has no shame. She will do whatever it takes to get the attention of the guy she is eyeing. She knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. She will be on the dance floor grinding like it’s nobody’s business and everyone at the bar knows she will not be going home alone. You go girl!
5. The dynamic duo.
These two are pretty much physically joined at the hip. They will not leave each other’s side no matter what, so if you see one you will see the other. Whether its in the bathroom, on the dance floor, or at the bar you can not separate them no matter how hard you try.
6. The freeloader.
This person loves not having to pay for anything. Free drinks are their fav and they will try to be smashed by the end of the night without spending a dime. Causally asking to try someone’s drink and then taking more than one sip. Holding someone’s drink and then downing it while they’re gone. This person is hilarious and creative, and we can all take some notes from them on how they get the job done.
7. The performer.
If there is karaoke, everyone better step aside. Once this person is drunk, they are the first ones to sign up and sing their heart out. Not only do they love to sing but they love to dance. Whether music is playing or they are by themselves they will put on a show. Snapchat stories are filled with this person busting a move. They might regret it in the morning but at least they know how to have a good time.
8. The garbage disposal.
This person has had one thing on their mind since the beginning of the night, food. They want cheese, salt, and anything fattening. Whatever they can get their hands on, really. Their favorite part about being drunk is the drunken munchies at the end.
9. The creep.
This is that strange person that everyone avoids at all cost. They are there every week, and to be perfectly honest, no one really knows who they are. They try and dance with anyone that they can and only has one thing on their mind. Stay away. No free drink is worth getting on this person’s radar.
No matter whom you meet, or whom you end up being that night, just remember to have a good time. Don't let anyone stop you from living it up. Alcohol was meant to get you drunk!
