"C'mon, guys... I have to study... and plus I look like a *mess*" you whine, as your friends Traci and Shelly ready themselves for a night on the town in front of the mirror in your dorm room.
"So what? I know you're just trying to get out of it because you want to stay here and pout about Kevin", says Traci knowingly. And you admit it- she's right. Only two weeks ago, your boyfriend Kevin cheated on you with your shared partner from chemistry and since then, you've been lying around with hardly the strength to dress yourself up for class, and unable to focus on your homework. The last thing you'll be doing this Friday night is getting anything *done*. You give in.
"Fine", you sigh, and drag yourself into the walk-in closet you share with your roommate. You grab a teal blue minidress with understated gold sequins which you found at Goodwill of all places, to wear to a wedding within your restrictive college-student budget. It was a hot dress, undeniably, a fact which was reflected by the large number of compliments you received at the wedding. With hardly the interest or effort to make choices, you reluctantly pulled on the tried-and-true piece and put on a simple bit of makeup- eyeliner and tinted lip gloss- both of which were subtle enough that you normally even wore them to class.
With little expectation of fun in your mind, the three of you piled into Shelly's pickup truck and headed for your favorite inexpensive south-end Irish bar.
