Must-Haves for a College Night Out

toilet_paper_roll.jpgHey ladies. We all love to party right? I know I do. And with partying comes, well, some interesting circumstances. Us girls need to have the proper “equipment” when we go out, don’t we? Here’s my list of the things I never leave home without on my crazy college nights out.

1. Toilet Paper. I don’t know about you but I have had to pop my fair share of squats in the woods on the way home from God knows where. Not to mention, we’ve all been to one too many frat parties where the bathroom looked like something out of a horror movie and, of course, there’s never any toilet paper.

2. Flip flops. Heels make an outfit right?  After several hours out, however, standing (or dancing) on those heels, our little piggies need a break. Throw a pair of comfy flip flops in your bag and, if your feet are throbbing, change ‘em up. You’ll be thanking me latah.

3. Bottle of Water. No one likes a drunk, sloppy puking mess, so bringing a bottle of water to sip in between drinks is a great way to pace yourself and spread out your drinks.

4. Band Aid. You have no idea how many times me or my girl friends have either fallen, sliced a finger, ripped a hang nail, etc. Throwing one in your wallet will save you and your friends tons of trouble.

5. Shout Pen. White shirt. One too many cranberry vodkas. Nuff said.

6. Hair tie. Again, lots of drinks, way to many shots, and the spins. You’re going to need to pull your hair back to keep from getting the goo in your hairdo.

7. Small purse. Do not bring your entire giant collection of pens, lip gloss, loose change, and planner with you when you go out.  Reserve a “going out” purse that is small enough to fit only what you really need: ID, some cash, cell phone, and the aforementioned items. Do not bring your credit cards to the toga party. They will get lost.

What are your must-haves for a night out?

    Yea I recommend a wristlet. They are my FAVE going out accessory. This way you can fit all the stuff in there and you don’t even have to put it down to make that celebrity beruit shot.

    You can downgrade a whole roll of toilet paper to those handy portable kleenex to fit inside your wristlet but as for the flip flops you are on your own. I would sacrifice cute for comfort if you are really that concerned.

    You can actually get travel toilet paper AND toilet seat covers in little packets. I usually see them in the section for sample size stuff, at Target or the like. They were my saviors when I backpacked through Europe, so they’ll probably do the job for a party, too.

    i agree with all of the above.. i always carry toilet paper with me, and people laugh. then later ask me for some.

    small purses are definitely a good idea, but what small purse can carry both a bottle of water AND flip flops? you could always just opt for semi-comfortable shoes and just grin and bear it
