Night Out | Zikoko!

The next time you have a girls’ night out, you’ll have to get ready together. It’s for your mental health and sanity. Need extra convincing? Here why you should:

The chance to catch up on gist

This is when you brief them on all the happenings. If you don’t talk to certain people anymore, you’d want your girls to be aware. Anything can happen during a night out, and your girls need to be armed with all the current information.

Makeup activities

Even if you don’t use makeup, watching your friends get ready is such a chaotic experience. One person is blowing lash glue to dry faster; another is looking for an eyeshadow palette with a colour that’ll match the aesthetic. The chaos is 10/10.

Feedback on outfits

One reason women overpack is that they have backup dresses for their backup dresses. If you don’t feel confident in how your outfit makes you look, your girls are there to style and restyle you. They’ll give you tips and help you select the most flattering styles. It’s for your own good.

Pregaming drinks

This is for the drinkers. You need to pregame with your girls. Alcohol is costly outside, so it’s important to drink before you go out so you can be lit without spending too much. It’s financial responsibility!!!!!

Music

The getting ready playlist is the most fire thing you’ll ever listen to. It gives what it’s meant to give. Imaging getting hyped by your girls even before the party starts.

Pictures

Nobody takes better pictures than girls that like you. They’re super invested in your angles, poses and lighting. They’re thinking of things you’re not worried about and will help you come up with the best Instagram captions. And the hype that comes as they’re taking the pictures? It’ll help you feel like the bad bitch you are.

Make no mistakes, alcohol will fuck you up. If you’ve ever gotten blackout drunk before, you know it’s a journey of nonstop drinking and bad decisions. And because it’s the weekend again, we know you’re about to let yourself down and do a little drinking. How about we prepare you for what you’re about to go through by walking you through the process. (I mean you’re the expert drinker, but that doesn’t matter right now.)

“I’m not drunk.”

Nobody has to ask you if you’re drunk. You’ll just start telling your friends “I’m not drunk.” That means your body is ready to take the journey. Welcome.

“Am I shouting?”

Everyone becomes funny. And you’re laughing a lot. You realise you’re probably very loud with everything you’re doing, so you ask the person you’re the most comfortable with, “Am i shouting?”

The Quiet Stage

You become quiet because you don’t want to embarrass your family name in public. This is only after you realise you’ve just said something stupid but nobody heard. Now it’s time to control yourself.

Dancing to everything.

You hear “Won t’ese le bo, yahoo ni babalawo” and you’re on your feet dancing. You can’t dance and you know you look stupid but it feels good. At this stage, you’ve lost complete control. Alcohol has now taken over.

Seeing Double

Now this girl you’re talking to is looking like two different individuals, and you can’t hear shit she’s saying. It’s like your whole existence just hit the whoa.

Can’t Walk or Stand Straight

When you have to hold a railing or the wall to walk or stand, you know you’re gone. In your head it’s like, “Why did I take that last shot?”

“Grfrvtgbjbgvdcfvhg”

This is the part you don’t remember – usually a text or a tweet.

Calling your ex.

You have some stuff to get off your chest (and you need to tell her you miss her). Now’s a perfect time.

Lying down to let the tide pass.

You think you’re feeling a bit more settled after the call to your ex and you want to rest a bit before you continue the party.

Waking up inside a gutter

Cock-a-doodle-do sir! Get up from outside the gutter (or other awkward place you’ve ended up in, including the parking lot.) What happened? Nobody knows. Just dust your shame and be going home.
