So you know how when guys get ready to go out all they really do is shower, throw on some clothes, brush their teeth, and spray some Polo Black cologne on?! They’re literally ready in like twenty minutes tops and waiting on the girls. They wait and wait and wait and wonder what could possibly be taking us so long! Well, since I am an almost 21-year-old girl with two roommates and about 5 other girls who basically live with us, I feel that I can answer that question. When we feel that it is time to get ready, this is how things typically go down in our apartment.
STEP ONE: Music.
Because you OBVI have to have a bomb playlist playing in the background while you get ready. I don’t think guys understand how important this is to us in our getting ready process.
*Plugs iPhone into iHome, puts on some “hype music” thats easy to dance to so we can all get in the mood to go out.* We all start singing along and kind of walking around the apartment dancing a little bit for basically no reason.
“Hannahhhh play Hit The Quan!”
“OMG yesssss! Okay!”
“Look I can kinda do it!”
“OMG you totally can!”
*Song ends and a country song comes on because it was on my playlist*
“Hannah! Why are you playing depressing music?!”
“My bad, it just came on lemme change it!”
“Okay OMG play some BOOOOSIEEEEE!”
STEP TWO: Planning the outfits.
Okay so this is like a team effort thing. You do NOT just pick an outfit without consulting with your girls first about what they’re wearing. Normally someone asks a question like “Are we doing casual cute or dressy cute?!” Once we come to an agreement, we try to dress accordingly to each others outfits. We sometimes even go shopping earlier that day for some new options.
STEP THREE: Picking out the outfits.
This step mainly consists of raiding each others closets and conversations like these:
“Emily omg can I pleaseeee wear that black romper of yours?!”
“Yeah girl and bring me those strappy heels you bought the other day!”
“Okay! And Abby wants to know if she can use your new eyeshaddow!”
& conversations like this:
“Waitttt, no put back on that other shirt cause its black and we are kinda doing the whole black thing tonight.”
“Ugh I hate that shirt.. you know how it fits me all weird remember?!”
“Ohhhh yeah, okay well here lemme go see if Madi has one like it!”
Then we all stand in front of the mirror and see if we look good. Usually we strike poses and dance while we are at it. Then we look at the time and remember we kind of need to hurry.
STEP FOUR: Doing our makeup & hair.
“Yall! Hair up or down tonight?!”
“Ummmm I think Emily is wearing hers down, but Madi’s is up!”
“UGH! That does not help!”
*Fixes hair*
“Okay hows this?!”
“Oh thats cute I like it!”
“I think Im gonna do a smokey eye tonight! Too much?!”
“Girl, no you totally rock it and plus whats his face is gonna be there and you know you gotta be looking hot.”
“You are SO right! Okay do your eyeshadow kinda dark with me too then pleaseeee?”
“Ugh fine!”
STEP FIVE: Pictures!
We HAVE to get good pictures together before we all go out. Yes we will take pics while we are out, but thats different, and we simply need both.
“Here ill take it of y’all, and then we can switch!”
“Okay now lets put the phone on timer and just set it up here on the counter!”
“Wait do a serious face cause we are HOT!”
“OMG THIS ONES SOO CUTE SEND ME IT NOW! No seriously send it right now. Did you send it? I haven’t gotten it yet so try sending it again.”
“UGH OMG EW NO DELETE IT! Well fine then just crop me out!”
“Okay do we all like this one?! YAY! Okay I guess we can leave now!”
STEP SIX: Actually leaving.. or trying to leave.
“WAIT LEMME SPRAY A LITTLE MORE PERFUME!”
“Crap I forgot to spray my hair, hold on!”
“Hey tell Abby we’re coming, Hannah left her ID upstairs!”
“Tell them if they don’t hurry I’m leaving!”
“Do we have everyone?!”
“YAY LETS GOOO!”
And that is pretty much how it goes down in our apartment every Friday & Saturday night that we decide to go out together!
