girls night out
I can remember when Girls Night Out was as easy as walking down the hall and asking my dorm mates if they had plans later, taking a break from studying in order to roller blade around town at midnight, or simply showing up on Ladies Night. It was as easy as an old friend randomly passing through town and a bunch of us jumping in a hot tub to celebrate and catch up. At most we needed a week to plan a hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up; five minutes if we wanted an impromptu trip to Shoshone Point for sunrise. The best part of Girls Night Out was always how tired you were the next day when you woke up at noon.
Now Girls Night Out requires at least three months notice in order to organize the spouses, parents, grandparents, kids, coworkers, babysitters, pets, and bosses it takes to pull off four hours of fun. And still kids get sick, you get sick, babysitters get sick, even the dog gets sick. Josh Hamilton ends up playing right field when you've specifically purchased tickets in left. The music that inspired you the last time you had a Girls Night Out (eight years ago) isn't as inspiring. And you are exhausted when you have to get up in the morning to relieve the spouses, parents, grandparents, babysitters, and coworkers who made your four hours of fun possible.
It may seem like it's not worth the trouble anymore. But I heartily disagree. Girls Night Out isn't as casual as it used to be; it has become something more. It is something to plan, to anticipate, to celebrate, to enjoy, even when nothing turns out the way you expected.
EMBRACE GIRLS NIGHT OUT.
Even though our lives are now filled with responsibilities and schedules and overabundance, we wouldn't be where we are without friends.
