Thoughts of a 20-year-old Grandma When Going Out

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois State chapter.

Going out is fun and all…for the majority of younger people. But some of us twentysomethings have fallen into the “grandma” category by always opting to stay in and eat/bake cookies rather than going out. Your friends beg you to “please come, just this one time” and say things like “stop being a grandma.” In most cases, you’ll probably say “I have too much homework,” and then proceed to binge watch Grey’s on Netflix surrounded by snacks. However, whether it’s a friend’s birthday, an unavoidable bar crawl, etc., sometimes you just can’t avoid going out. So, as a fellow 22-year-old college student with my grandmother’s mindset, here are some of the most common thoughts that cross my mind when I’m forced to go out:

 

1. *gets to pregame* Shit. I’m tired.

 

2. Ugh, why am I here?

 

3. Omg, a dog! *pets until pregame ends*

 

4. Isn’t she cold wearing that dress?

 

5. “Sir? Where can I hang my coat?”

6. This music is too loud, omg.

 

7. “Do you serve wine?”

8. I miss the pregame dog.

9. My stomach burns.

10. I miss my bed.

11. – 12:15 p.m. – “Hey, what time do you want to leave?” *friend looks at you confused*

 

12. Friend: “Take a shot with me!” Me: Lol no.

 

13. Dear God, no I’m not dancing with you. Somebody please get me out of here.

 

14. Ok. My bed is a need at this point.

15. I wonder what’s going to happen on the next Grey’s episode…..

16. – 12:52 a.m. – “I’m getting an Uber” *friend tells you no*

17. WHEN WILL THIS END!

18. I’ve never been more exhausted in my entire life I will need two weeks to recover.

19. Friend: “Let’s go to afties!!” *dies a little inside*

20. “Can we just go home? I don’t feel good.” *friend feels bad and agrees*

21. YES I AM #BLESSED THANK YOU LORD. Comin’ for ya bed!
