    Going out on St. Patrick's Day can be STRESSFUL.

    It starts when someone asks if you want to go to a St. Patrick's party and you're like, "This sounds mildly terrifying."

    Did you hear the scary story of the person who went out on St. Patrick's Day and woke up on the subway? In a different city? Wearing someone else's pants?

    But then you hear there'll be pizza at the party, so you're all YAAAAAAS.

    KISS ME I'M PIZZA.

    Then you get to the party and don't recognize anyone there.

    Trimark

    I guess I'll pretend to text until it's appropriate for me to leave.

    So you call your friend and ask if they're planning on EVER SHOWING UP TO THIS.

    Do I have to wait here alone until Easter? GET OVER HERE.

    So you're bummed, waiting. But then you see it: GREEN. BEER.

    Trimark

    And you're like... YODSPDOAY! (You Only Do St. Patrick's Day Once A Year)

    THEN your friend finally texts back with "I'm at this OTHER PARTY," so you leave without saying good-bye to anyone.

    Trimark

    Ugh, "bye."

    You are pleased to note that everyone at this next party looks SUPER HOT in green.

    Trimark

    You finally spot your friend and you're like "HEY GIRL."

    Trimark

    Boop!

    You friend asks if you want to wear novelty shamrock sunglasses and you're like "HAHAHA. No."

    Trimark

    Just because I've had a lot of green beer does not mean I'm prepared to sacrifice my dignity. Yet.

    So by this point you've had so much green beer that you yell, "LET'S MAKE LIKE A SHAM AND ROCK."

    Trimark

    And you friends gently whispers that you're embarrassing yourself.

    You have a drink with all the "new friends" you've made that night.

    Trimark

    This is a good idea! Maybe.

    Your friend tells you that you've had too much green beer and pizza, but you're like "I'M INVINCIBLE."

    Trimark

    "I CAN TOTALLY WALK IN A STRAIGHT LINE," you shout.

    Trimark

    You think you have the singing chops to perform "Oh Danny Boy," but guess what.

    Trimark

    You really do not.

    So your friend is like, "YOU'RE ACTING WEIRD AND WE'RE LEAVING."

    Trimark

    Your Uber ride home is a total nightmare because you're trying hard to keep all your beer inside your body.

    Trimark

    Like, you're an actual hot mess.

    Trimark

    And yet, the minute you get home, you can only think of one thing: SNACKS.

    Trimark

    At this point, you really just want to pass out in bed. But then you remember: IT'S A WEEK NIGHT. AND YOU HAVE WORK TOMORROW.

    So you put on some sunglasses and pretend this night never happened.

    Trimark

    Have a happy (and safe) St. Patrick's Day!
