A messy night out aka a real-life uni experience!

I want to know about your messiest nights out, especially at university. Below is a Google Form where you can tell me about your messiest night out.
This was the night when a group of us decided to go out to 2 different clubs. I was on medication but knew I would struggle not drinking. Since the start of university, I didn't have a single alcoholic drink. It was incredibly difficult, but I managed to do it. Spoiler... I may have had a few drinks that night...Spoiler...I shouldn't have.
Before we get onto the night, there is a back story with my dating history. I had never even flirted with a guy before the Summer of 2023. I met a guy where I was working and felt a connection, however he didn't feel it back. I was heartbroken because I wanted to see it going somewhere, but I got over it after making many TikToks (SimplyCC04) about how this guy had broken my heart. Once I got to university, I was sad and lonely, so I decided to download dating apps. I met a guy on Tinder and it didn't work out twice.
The theme of the club we went to was Barbie Night, so everyone had to wear either pink or blue to represent Barbie and Ken from the new Barbie movie.
Have you seen the new Barbie film
Yes
No
I decided to go live on Instagram (SimplyCC04) so that I could do my makeup and get dressed with an audience, and to make it more fun. I did my hair in a high plait and finished my makeup. I thought it would be a good idea to wear my black catsuit from Shein. I wish I hadn't though because I got so hot and flustered, plus when I needed the toilet, everything had to come off rather than one piece of clothing. I toyed between my pink faux leather jacket from Primark or just my pink jumper from Boohoo. In the end, I chose my jumper, as it felt more comfortable and I was already out of my comfort zone. I didn't feel pretty, but it did its job.

We went to the bus stop and got on the bus, the bus was just hilarious. We filmed a TikTok, the one where everyone says 'hi Barbie' over and over again. I look back on the TikTok video now and realise how awkward I looked, but it was mainly because I was so out of my comfort zone and so nervous. I had never been out in a big group before clubbing and it was a massive step in my university experience. I had a lovely chat with my guy friend for ages on the bus, he was making jokes and we were vibing.
On our walk to the club, 2 of my flatmates turned around and suggested he and I get together. Like why would you say that to someone who catches feelings easily? I denied any feelings there, but the more I thought about it, the more I liked the vibe between us. We got to the pub and bought our drinks. I felt awkward and so did the rest of the group because the club was very dead. However, within an hour we were all dancing on the floor and having a great time. We had extra friends added to the group and I felt connected to some of the girlies. I kept trying to pursue getting with my male friend who will remain unnamed for a very long time.
After a while, I was struggling to loosen up and have fun. I went to the bar and ordered 2 vodka shots by myself, whilst I was on medication. Then one of my flatmates bought me another one and I had one extra. At this point, I was far from gone, I was loose. I couldn't find the rest of the group and started panicking because I thought they had all left me, especially whilst I was drunk. I found them all outside and broke down crying about the boys I had previously been chatting to. Then another of my flatmates started crying and in the end, all the girls were huddled together crying. Some of the girls left to go to the toilet and I went and sat next to the guy I was trying to pursue. He hugged me and asked me what was wrong, but obviously, I wasn't going to tell him. There was some other relationship drama happening with one of my closest gals at university and I wanted to be there for her and tell her the truth about her relationship, but I knew I shouldn't do it drunk.
We then went to the next club, which was louder and more suited for university students. I found out a guy had been trying to touch up one of my friends, so I stayed with my friend the rest of the night because I didn't want him near her. We stayed in this club for roughly an hour before we got a taxi back to the university. I had the guy I liked sit next to me because I didn't want to be next to the guy who was being inappropriate around my friend.
We got back to uni and went and chilled in the kitchen. I was very drunk and very tired and just felt awful. However, I was ready to try and get to know this guy I had a connection with.
Quote of the blog:
"Drink because you are happy, not because you are miserable" - this is where I went wrong, and even went wrong a few times over the summer. I started drinking because something had upset me or I felt nervous and anxious. It is the worst time to start drinking as alcohol leaves you feeling worse in the morning, than you did to begin with it. Alcohol never solves problems when you are negative.
The next blog is about being hungover in a lecture, trying to pursue something with a guy I liked and chilling in the kitchen with my favourite flatmate.
