The long curfew holiday only has days left to it, the campus days are now closing in. What does that mean? Coarsework, handouts, house parties, booze, blackouts then waking up in bed with strangers or places you can barely notice. Clubbing may have some cream smeared to it but nothing ever beats the fun around the soiree environment (Who could resist the sight of free booze or soda to those abstaining).So if you want to ripe the best of excitement from these parties some points will have to be taken under consideration.
Before the party
Dress Right For The Party
Yes you may have received the invite, but are you dressed for the theme soiree. Take time off and search through your closet for that right garb to fit the evening. Wear whatever you want underneath, naked isn’t bad too females! Too much color blocking, fella you look like a rainbow pimp. We well do understand how anxious you’re to be hosted on Mosha’s fashionista show but keep the sunglasses off at night. That’s why they are called sunglasses not ‘nightglasses’ keep it simple and tidy. Please be courteous and let the host know if you’re to be late or decide you’re not coming. (Call earlier not 7pm). You will be doing those on the waiting list a disservice; people have to be put on the cancelation list. If you don’t show up, it’s understandable, curfew is no crime it’s a stage of life you have to go through.
During the party
Don’t Make A Scene
This could be inform of anything that tampers with the peace of the others all involving over –inebriation. At these parties sex is optional; you come do whatever you want with anyone when you want but mind where you play from. The beds in the house aren’t for your personal sexual sessions and the sofas are not for standing. And perchance you happen to meet one of your exs with a new beau, play gentleman or independent girl because no one’s’ wants the screaming match of broken hearts ruining their night.
Don’t take over the music
Quite often when under the influence of an alvaro punch, may think you’re the next Uganda’s Vybz Kartel because you can rhyme his ‘pum pum’ club bunger, but sorry you aren’t. You just some guy with too much vodka in your stomach. There is purpose for music around the house. That’s why a DJ is employed to fulfil that purpose. So don’t pretend to know what’s on the joker’s music playlist or order what music you want to hear. Rather you could have called radio and asked for your favourite jam on the request show.
Control Your Bodily Functions
Never experiment with tequila or vodka play with beer, don’t mix a spirit with beer or drink more than what your guts can handle. Throw up and you’ll never get away with it. (Remember this is the smart phone era and our cameras aren’t far). You still have problems dealing with your libido. Please seek counselling prior to the soiree. Don’t act like you still in your early puberty stages. Not every skirt in the room is bound to face the wrath of your whopper or does any guy flirting with you want your fruit.
After The Party
Keep your voices low when on the streets and all kinky talk quiet. No one wants to know the silliest of your memoirs. Lastly respect your fellow party-mates and property you get around the party premises.
Hang out, meet new folks, play and see what happens next. Have fun this September semester and remember to be the fun guy not the wasted junk throw out of the party.
