Not sure if hungover...or dying

This blog is about having a hangover during a lecture and chilling in the kitchen making memories with my flatmate.

After a messy night out, I got into bed at 5:30 am and had to be up for a 9:00 am lecture. I had never done this before, so I dragged myself out of bed put on some comfy clothing and sat on my bed regretting last night's decisions. I filled my backpack up and headed off to my lecture. I would say the main tip for this is to not go and get drunk when you have a lecture the next morning. However, it will happen. Waking up the next morning, have a shower to refresh your body, drink some water or some tea, eat something even if it is little and rest until it is lecture time. If you have a headache and can take pills, take something for your head and nausea.

I was slowly falling asleep in my lecture as I hardly slept and was exhausted from the previous night and found it hard to concentrate. In my lecture we were looking at the brain and how memory works.

After the lecture, I got back to my uni room and went into the kitchen where my flatmates were. We looked out the window as we heard loud music and saw the guy I liked singing in the courtyard. He was singing his heart out with a speaker in his hand whilst we sat on the stairs watching him. I felt very awkward but wanted to be there to see if anything was going to happen. Some of his female flatmates came and sat on the grass, he went over to them and kept singing to them. Part of me felt jealous, because I liked him, but couldn't voice that to anyone because I didn't want to be seen as a psycho. We went for some dinner and then my 2 other flatmates got ready to go out drinking.

I chilled in the kitchen on my phone, until my flatmate came in. He is an Esports student, which overall is a course on video gaming. You play about 70% of the time, especially in the first year. There is coursework to do and essays too, it isn't just gaming. He came into the kitchen and we chilled in the kitchen. Mostly, we sat on our phones and showed each other funny TikToks and laughed. These are the best times, chilling with flatmates and having a laugh.

We waited for our flatmates to come back, and they came back drunk. I always felt like the mother of the flat, I could never sleep when they were out, and I always felt uneasy if I tried to sleep when they hadn't arrived. They also had a bit of a rocky relationship and most times I wanted to be there to give them the same advice don't talk about feelings now, talk about them in the morning.

Quote of the blog:

"A hangover is just your body telling you that you're an idiot" - this is true in this situation, I was an idiot to drink when on medication and catching feelings within a second. Although it was a learning curve and since then I haven't had a drink. Part of me doesn't like the 'new' Chloe when drinking as it brings out a scary side, the other half is I kept drinking when I was sad or angry about something, and didn't want to get in the habit. I haven't had a drink since, I don't feel the need to drink alcohol.

In the next blog, I take a trip to McDonald's with some friends and have a nasty experience with one of my coursemates.
