By this point, we’ve literally heard it all. You’ve got your basic, playing-it-safe themes like Cowboys vs. Aliens, Jammies and Jell-O Shots, Cops and Robbers, CEOs and Office Hoes, etc.
Then you have stuff like Lifeguards and …. Lemonade (?), Goths and …. Sloths (??), Skype Interview (???), ABC (Anything But Clothes- ???!?!?!?!?!?!?)
Whoa back it up. Drop the lemon, leave the sloth behind, finish up that skype interview, and for heaven’s sake put some clothes on. How does one even go about mastering the art of the mixer?
1. Pre the pre-game
Don’t wait around for your friends to finish doing their makeup, or lend you an outfit, or text their friends to come over. Pull out that stuff you save for emergencies and party it up yourself!
2. Squad up
“Which pose should we do?” “Wait let me fix my hair.” “Wait can I see it?” “Take another.” “Bethany squat lower.” “This is my bad side.” “Okay go.” “Throw what you know!” “Let’s do one like this.” “This is my good side.” “Let me see it?” “Omg we look so hot.” “Omg I know right.”
Whoa. So much going on. Take a deep breath. Gather your thoughts. Then gather your squad, and get to that party!
3. Be social AF
We are well aware that you already have multiple friends in [insert frat name] … buttttt the whole point of a mixer is essentially mixing, so mix away and meet some new faces!
4. Be the DJ
Not feelin’ the music? Not even feelin’ yourself?? That’s a problem. Here’s the solution. Don’t be afraid to snatch the aux cord. Play your rockin’ workout playlist, whip out that NSYNC, or opt for Drake –everybody loves Drake.
