The Morning After: Halloween of Horrors

[Everyone’s got a morning after story (though most don't involve a large group of potential sorority sisters) and we wanna hear yours! Send it over to us and we’ll post it – anonymously, of course – right here!]

Freshman year Halloween.  Is there anything scarier?  I’m not talking about the orange and black jello shots or the DIY strobe lights and dry ice combo favored among frat house basements.  No, the part that caused me to break out in a cold sweat and goosebumps was the daunting task of selecting the perfect costume.

We’ve all seen how boys act when they want to make out with you at a club. First, they come up behind you and begin to dance. Maybe you introduce yourselves, maybe you don’t. If they are a good dancer, you continue dancing, and if they suck, you text your friend that you have to go to the bathroom and she comes and pretends that she has to use the facilities at that exact second.

However, if you have decided that this guy is worth your dancing time, about five-ten minutes into the encounter (2-4 songs) he will likely turn you around so that it is only natural that your faces are near each other, therefore giving him the opportunity to make out with you. Read More »
