Turn That Walk Of Shame Into A Stride Of Pride

A wise man once said, “blame it on the ah ah ah ah ah alcohol.” If the goose had you feeling a little too loose and you spent the night in some guy's dorm room or house, have no fear; this is your survival guide for making it through the dreaded Walk of Shame.

1. First things first:

Send out an SOS (save our shacker) text to few friends to see if they can pick you up. If that plan fails, it's time to salvage what's left of your hair and makeup.

2. Mirror mirror on the frat bathroom wall, who's the finest of them all?

Hate to break it to ya but it's probably not you right now. Use some tissue and water to wipe off any leftover makeup under your eyes; no one likes looking like a raccoon. If your hair still looks nice, leave it as is, but if it screams "current member of the got laid parade" then pull it into a cute messy bun or braid.

3. Snag his shirt.

I'm not sure what you're wearing, but hopefully you can borrow a big t-shirt or jacket from the guy you stayed the night with to draw less attention to yourself when you're walking back.

4. Give yourself a pep talk

Mentally prepare yourself for the adventure back to your room. You are not going to walk barefoot in shame with your heels in your hands; you're better than that! Instead, you will stride with pride and your head held high.

5. Own it.

If you look embarrassed or ashamed, people will feel embarrassed and ashamed for you, but if you walk like you chose to wear this outfit on purpose, then it won’t be as obvious that you shacked.

6. Omg my BFF Jill.

Another thing to make the walk easier is by talking to a friend on the phone. If no one picks up, just pretend to talk on the phone and when you're walking by people, casually say something like, "I'm on my way now, I'll meet you for breakfast in two minutes." This way, it seems like you chose this outfit to wear to breakfast with a friend. People may question your outfit choice, but not your morals.
