8 Things I Wish I Did in Newport

November 22, 2015 by astoldoverbrunch in Guest Post, Leisure, Life In Your 20's

Florida was sitting pretty around 80 degrees and I was in need of a change. So I packed my bags and flew up to the New England for the weekend. I wasn’t quite sure of what to expect upon my descent to Providence, Rhode Island. I was taken aback by the small airport and the autumn colors – both of which I’m certainly not used to.

I reveled in the foliage and the slight drop in temperature. It felt good to wear a sweater and feel a breeze that wouldn’t completely ruin my hair. The air was fresh, the nature was vibrant, the laughter was filtering our lungs, and we were at peace wandering through Providence’s streets (all of which close dramatically early).

6 Dumb Things I've Heard on Dates

I can't say I'm particularly good at dating. I typically pick guys based off of very limited details, then sit through a dinner or round of drinks wondering why I set myself up for them. On the rare occasions that I actually pick a good one, it's then my turn to be the date-ruiner. Now for a self-deprecating example:

There was this one time I forgot I said yes to dinner with a guy from Coffee Meets Bagel, which is a classier Tinder, and went to a work happy hour. I remembered after three-four $2 beers that I had a date, so I showed up heavily buzzed / probably drunk to dinner. He was the sweetest little (I do really mean little) Southern guy who told me he "traveled into the city just for me." Well dang. No pressure there.

The People at Bars: A Bouncer's Perspective

I’m a bouncer at a college bar. While that might sound like a fun job, it can be quite the headache when people do not want to act their age. In my three years I’ve worked at two out of the three bars on campus. Most of my job is just people watching and making sure that everyone is behaving appropriately. It’s a different perspective of the bar when you’re standing two feet above the crowd. However, I’ve come to find that there are certain types of people that I see at bars:

Things That Happened at the Masquerade

A couple weekends ago, Sara and I attended a masquerade ball. I sit on the exec board for the organization that hosted the ball, so my favorite game of the night was having everyone guess how much the ball cost. Since our tickets were free, we decided to go all out on our masks. Unfortunately, the first couples' set we chose sold out, but we received a discount for our next choice. We chose - I should be real here; I chose - a metal filigree mask that was hot as Hades. Truly, my only wish for the evening was to get a killer profile pic. However, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.

Leading up to the ball, I asked my friends where they were getting their masks. The most common response was, "Oh, are people wearing masks? I wasn't going to."

Me: (I guess I'll leave my $22 mask at home. Uh, no.) "You should wear a mask; I hear everyone else is."
