I don't care how fun your Snapchat story looks the next morning, I will put hard cash down on the fact that there were at least a few moments throughout your night in which you felt brutally alone and or filled with unbearable boredom. The first step is always acceptance, ladies and gentlemen. However, fear not, for I have compiled a list of games as old as the act of being bored that can help to alleviate some of those awful moments. Goodbye to the days of checking your emails past midnight as an escape.

1. Doppelgängers

OK, none of them are going to be spot on, but you can still have fun by squinting your eyes and passing the time searching for celebrity look-a-likes. Congrats to you if you happen to find the Gainesville Brad Pitt lookalike. However, more often than not, you will find yourself excited over the “tall Peter Dinklage doppelgänger” or the woman who is eerily reminiscent of Paula Dean for reasons that you can’t express, but that everyone just seems to understand.

2. Where’s Waldo

First, you pick an interestingly clad stranger to lock eyes with. Remember your person, this is your Waldo. Now, buy yourself a drink each time you spot your person again. Buy two if it’s a false alarm.

3. Guess Who

It's kind of like the board game, but also nothing like the board game. For this, you find and infiltrate a group of friends talking in a circle. Pretend to be a part of the group, act natural. Take a shot for every weird look that you get. Also, make sure that your actual friends are somewhere nearby for when things get weird. Things will get weird.

4. ESPN

For this game, you pull out your best Eric Reid impersonation and stand by judgmentally commentating the events unfolding around you. Narrate the highs, the lows, the scores, interceptions, and whatever other sports/socialization parallels your little hearts can draw.

5. Silent Disco

This one isn't necessarily a game that you will look stupid playing alone, but you will definitely look stupid doing this alone. Are you intrigued? I thought that you might be. For this one, you bring your own headphones and DJ your night with music that you actually like in lieu of the same songs that you sing along to every Wednesday out of sheer mindlessness, not actual enjoyment. Pilot your own life and listen to that one song from that one Disney Channel Original Movie with Corbin Bleu that never quite took off as you get taken by the lazy river of people through the bar.
