Student New Year's Eve - The Dos and Don'ts

Every year, students around the world fear New Years Eve plans, gagging to make them better than the last. We all know it can end in tears, a very sore head and waking up under a pool table. But never fear, we are here to show you how to have the best New Year's Eve yet.

Clubbing

The venue's sorted and you're ready to shift the night away with whomever takes your fancy. However, indulge too early in the night and you may see midnight from the inside of a cell, instead of gobbing your nearest and dearest when the clock strikes twelve. If this sounds familiar, just make sure you have a hoodie or jacket to hand to cover that teeny tiny dress. You don't want to end up with freezing your arse off and inviting more trouble than you prepared for.

DON'T- Wear heels like a tranny

DO- Bring a jacket/ comfy shoes / dignity

House Parties

Almost every student will breathe a sigh of relief when they secure a house party invite. You know you won't be cleaning up shite from the night before and you can sit on your arse as long as you please. If you do pass out, you'll be in a relatively safe, warm spot for when you wake up. However, if the house party host has a serious thing for puns or hilarious outfits, make sure you get dressed with friends so you don't end up as the only slut at the party.

DON'T- Shift someone too early in the night and have them follow you around for the rest of it.

DO- Bag a sleeping area early. Whether it be under a table or in a locked room. Get. There. First.

Staying in

If you're ballsy enough to decline plans and hide in your house this New Years Eve, make sure you have some essentials nearby to ensure minimal movement and an optimal vegetative state:

A Large bottle (or two) of any preferred alcoholic beverage.

A Blanket that will sufficiently wrap you into a tight cocoon of warmth

Some takeaway/shitty left over Christmas food/chocolate

A novelty pair of Pyjamas/ onesie/ something easily washable for food spills

DON'T- Fall asleep before midnight. You're too young for that shit.

DO- Make the most of doing fuck all. If you're not alone, sweeten up your companion to do the hard yards to the fridge.
