A CollegeCandy Public Service Announcement: Leave the Cameras At Home

College and extreme amounts of alcohol go together like Walks of Shame and mascara smudges down the side of your face. What else are you gonna do when the weekend comes? Or when that exam kicks your ass? Or when it’s Tuesday?

And while we at CollegeCandy love to hit the bottle, we do think it’s important to promote drinking in moderation. There is no need to get so drunk you vomit in your hand in the middle of a party. Or get escorted home by your roommates while your other friends search frantically for your skirt. Or wake up on the lawn outside of the dorm…that isn’t yours.

But, if you are gonna do it (and we know you are), at least make sure there are no cameras around, lest you end up like one of these poor souls.

These are the people you don’t want to be. These are the situations you don’t want to find yourself in. You may love the idea of taking funny drunk photos at the moment, but you are drunk and being drunk means making poor decisions.

Do not give in to the urge.

Heed our advice. Listen to our warnings. And don’t let us find you on Flickr and make us say, “I told you so.”

“Ok, so wouldn’t it be hilarious if I pretended like I was going down on you!? HAHAHA! Just make sure you make it look like you are enjoying it. HAHAHHAAH. So good! Everyone is gonna love this!”

Guy 1: “Look at us! We are halfway through Edward 40 Hands and we BARELY FEEL IT YET! We are big and strong men. We will TOTALLY DO THIS!!!”

Guy 2: “Uh, I just realized that I sorta gotta pee….”

Guy 3: “That girl I was trying to impress is over there talkin’ to someone else. And I’m duck-taped. F*ck!”

“Ok, so, like, let’s get dressed up in our favorite pink shirts, straighten our hair and get all cute for the party. And THEN let’s shotgun beers to impress the guys! Oh and can you get a pic of this? Thanks…I have to show my friends my (poor) shotgunning skills!”

“Hahahah! Look at me! I’m working out my inner thighs. <Insert funny sex joke here that really isn’t funny unless you are drunk enough to be doing this on the floor in front of a camera.>”

“Dude, I am the man. I am double-fisting these 4 drinks. Get a picture of this. What? There are only two? Naaaah there are so six. Yo, yo…is the room spinning? Why is my head mad heavy? Did you get the picture? It’s gonna be barf!…. I mean I’m gonna be barf….barf…”

“Look at us and our underwear! We are so sexy! But, seriously. We are all about women’s rights and sh*t. Why doesn’t anyone take us seriously!?”

“It’s my birthday so my friends made me wear this giant sombrero! Ha! It’s so great. I look so cute in it. And look at us doing the whole girl on girl thing! This is what college is about! Make sure you document this. NO ONE’S POSED LIKE THIS BEFORE, EVER!!”

No words necessary.

“Dude! I’ve got the best idea for my new Facebook picture!”

“People think I’m drunk, but would a drunk girl pull down her pants first?!”

“Hahah look at this guy. What a waste of some perfectly good Del Taco.”

“What? Where am I? Where are my shoes? Hhahahahah!! I can’t find my shoes…concrete burn! On my facceee!”
