It's the biggest night of the semester, and you and your friends are ready for this to be the most amazing night of your lives. The expectations are high, and who better to explain the events of the night than our friends from The Office?

1. First, you have to prepare your look of the evening:

From head...

To toe.

Every inch of yourself has to be on point.

2. Then, all your besties come over, for truly no other reason than get on record– through all forms of social media– that you are having so. much. fun!!!!

#friends #fierce #turnt

Aim for the "candid" shot.

3. But there's always that one friend who needs that perfect shot, very quickly changing the mood of the room.

After photo number 20, you have to remember your dignity.

4. Then it's pregame time!!

... Hopefully your attempt at popping the cork is successful, but it's questionable.

5. In the time span of an hour...

... everyone's mindset goes from this,

to this.

6. Then, you start the long, arduous journey to the actual party...

and regret your outfit (or, lack thereof.)

7. You FINALLY get in, and your squad owns it.

The most idealistic moment of the night.

8. Simultaneously, you hit the dance floor...

and the alcohol hits you.

9. You start belting for your life, and then the WORST happens...

Instantly act like you didn't just sing the wrong words– shake it off, shake it off.

10. You run in to your ex, and after that conversation...

Every aspect of your life suddenly seems spectacular.

11. But then you spot them with their new thangggg...

and your friends have to come to the rescue.

12. ... And after several more sips, a lot happens:

You find your superpowers,

You further regret your outfit choice (or lack-of),

And you find a bae;

But thankfully, your friend knows what's best for you.

13. The night starts to get to this point:

Every time I go out– without fail.

14. It's time to go. You walk out feeling like this:

But actually looking like this:

15. And just when you start to think of everything you could have done differently...

It's taco time,

and all is well in the world again.

16. ... And when you wake up confused;

Then watch everyone's Snapchat stories and remember everything...

Just think of all the great stories you now have to tell...

... and always remember who you are.

Cheers.
