13 Thoughts You Have When You’re Getting Dressed to Go Out

So you’ve decided that you’re tired of watching Netflix in your pajamas by yourself. Therefore, it’s time to go out and have a good time like all other twenty-somethings do—or so we’ve heard. But what is often reduced to a two-minute montage in the movies is actually a much longer and more stressful situation in real life. That’s right; we’re talking about the getting ready process during which we inevitably have the following 13 thoughts.

1. What I have on is so comfy. I’ve had it on all day. Do I have to change?

2. My clothes hate me, and I have nothing to wear.

3. Will anyone notice I wore this the last time we went out?

4. I should probably text everyone else to see what they’re wearing.


5. Am I too dressed up or not dressed up enough? These places should have a dress code.

 

6. I’m pretty sure I can get away with not shaving.

7. It’s never too late to say I’m suddenly not feeling well, is it?

8. Heels or no heels?

9. Mom always said, “Beauty is pain.” And the award for world’s biggest understatement goes to…

10. There might be a time tonight when I’m so drunk that I won’t even care what I’m wearing. Eh, not likely.

11. Makeup is the bane of my existence. And don’t even get me started on this hair.

12. This is way too much work. Why is being a girl so hard?

13. Whatever. I look amazing!
