Some of the best memories from college will be the parties that you attend. It is the one thing that many high school students look forward to in their future. Films and television shows have completely glamorized college parties and for the most part, they are all right! College parties are great!
Let me just tell you though, from a college student’s point of view, that while all the fun to be had will give you lasting memories of these so-called “best four years of your life,” nothing can amount to the worst feeling in the world known as tomorrow’s hangover. That throbbing headache will last all of Sunday from morning until 8 PM. No amount of aspirin or Tylenol will be able to save you. Multiple trips to the community bathroom on the floor of your dorm are not ideal. If you’re wise, you’ll take care of yourself the first thing in the morning. One of my friends suggested that I try this wellness shot from Baillout Wellness. I’ve been thinking about it since I heard of it.
Party throwers on the other hand don’t get off the hook so easily. Instead of just taking care of themselves, they have a whole house to take care of. If you thought you were sloppy, imagine the house you just took part in destroying.
A new business called Hangover Helpers is a team that comes to your aid the day after your biggest rager to pick up the pieces. The business, based in Boulder, Colorado, will bring you breakfast burritos and Gatorade ($15 per housemate) the next morning to make sure you are taken care of before they get to work on putting your house back together. Hangover Helpers was created by a few University of Colorado grads who have definitely had experience in hard-partying considering that the school is known for its infamous party scene. Founder Marc Simons decided to turn his side job into a full business after he began cleaning houses after parties for some extra cash.
