Eat something before you go helps you to be less drunk and do embarrassing things, we highly encourage you to eat something fat like cheese, avocado or butter, food with a carb like a piece of toast, protein like chicken, food containing B-12 vitamin like salmon.

Follow The Dress Code

“Dress your best but don’t overdress!” You want to look the best that you can, maybe look stand out, but you probably don’t want to look too much different from others. Follow the dress code first, or if you don’t know what the dress code is a black dress never be wrong!

Know Your Limits

You should always know your limits unless you want to pass out in the middle of the party or do something embarrassed. You can have fun but remember to drink responsibly.

If Nobody Talks To You, Talk To Them

If you are the kind of person who sits there and waits for someone to talk to you, don’t do that. Nobody will bother talking to you if you just sit there. Go around and find someone you might get along with and hang out with them. You’ll never know maybe they will be your college best friend or your special one.
