If you plan on going out this weekend, there are a few things you’ll first need to check. From assessing the weather to making sure that you have your ride sorted, we’ve got you covered. Read on and make sure you’re prepared for a fun-filled weekend!
The Weather
The weather is one of the most important factors to consider when planning any outdoor activity. For example, for those of you that live in Romford – you’ll know how turbulent the weather can be. Moreover, Romford weather can change from sun to showers in seconds each day. Therefore, it’s essential to check the weather beforehand so that you can be fully prepared physically and mentally for your night out. Checking the forecast can give you an idea of what to expect temperature-wise and whether or not there is a chance of precipitation. Similarly, knowing the weather of the weekend also allows you to dress appropriately for the occasion. Including needing to wear layers, if necessary. Wearing the right clothing will help you stay comfortable and safe. And finally, if the weather looks like it might take a turn for the worse, it’s wise to have a backup plan for your night out in mind so that you’re not left stranded or stuck in less-than-ideal conditions.
Your Friends You’re Partying With
Second, you need to make sure your friends are actually available. You don’t want to be the only one free on a Saturday night! Call round all of your best pals and see which of them fancy a night on the town. If they want to extend the invite to other people they know that might be interested – let them! The more the merrier. This also opens the door for you to make new friendships and extend your social circle.
The Venue
If you’re looking for a night out on the town this weekend, there are a few things you’ll want to check regarding the venue before you go. First, make sure you know the dress code for the venue. You don’t want to be turned away at the door because you’re not dressed appropriately. Second, check the cover charge. Some places have a cover just to get in, while others may have a drink minimum. Make sure you know how much money you’ll need to bring with you so that you can enjoy your night out without worry. Finally, research the venue ahead of time. Read reviews and see what other people have to say about it. This will give you an idea of what to expect and help you decide if it’s somewhere you really want to spend your night.
Your Transport
So, you’re all dressed up and ready to go – you just need to get there! You have many options in this scenario. You can either make sure that someone you’re going out with is the designated driver and isn’t drinking for the evening, or you can volunteer to be the designated driver yourself. If all of your party is planning on having a drink, then a ridesharing service is your next best option. Carsharing services are available in most cities and are fairly cheap. Similarly, you can usually rely on your driver to be with you within ten minutes. If the driver is kind enough, they may even offer you the aux!
Stay Alert
No matter how old you are, going out and having a good time is always a blast. Whether you’re going to a club, bar, or just someone’s house party, there’s something special about being surrounded by music, lights, and people. However, as everyone knows, things can sometimes get out of hand. People can get too drunk, fights can break out, and robberies can happen. That’s why it’s important to be aware of your surroundings when you’re partying so that you can stay safe. Here are some tips on how to do just that.
Watch Your Drink
Whilst out partying, it is essential that you keep an eye on your drink at all times. It’s easy to get distracted and not notice if someone has slipped something into your drink. If you start to feel strange or dizzy, you may have been drugged. If this happens, tell a friend or security immediately and get help.
Download A Safety App
If you’re going to be out partying, it’s important to be aware of your surroundings. One way to do this is to download a safety app. There are many different safety apps available, so choose one that fits your needs. Some safety apps allow you to share your location with friends or family members so they can keep track of you. Others have features like emergency buttons that will immediately notify your contacts if you’re in trouble. Some even have features like GPS tracking, so if you become lost, someone can come and find you. No matter which app you choose, make sure you take the time to read through the features and understand how it works. That way, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to use it, you’ll know exactly what to do.
Stick With Your Group
If you go out partying with a group of friends, it’s important to stick together. It’s easy to get lost in the crowd and before you know it, you’re separated from your buddies. If you’re not careful, you could end up in a bad situation. So how can you stay safe when you’re out on the town? First, make sure you have a plan before you go out. Where are you going to meet up with your friends? What time are you going to leave? Having a plan will help everyone stay on the same page and avoid getting separated.
Your Confidence
And finally, before subjecting yourself to a night out, you need to make sure that your head is fully in it before doing so. That means being comfortable with your appearance and feeling good about yourself. If you have any doubts, it is best to stay home and work on boosting your confidence. There are many ways to do this, including reading self-help books or articles, listening to motivational speeches, or attending workshops. If you take the time to work on your confidence, you will be much more likely to enjoy your weekend and have a great time.
Have Fun!
By keeping the above tips in mind, you’re sure to have a blast on your night out with your friends. Just remember to always be aware of your surroundings, check the venue and the weather beforehand, as well as your transport and your attendees. And finally, remember, no night out is worth having if you’re not confident in yourself. If you feel like you need to do some self-help work before heading out partying, that’s completely fine and I’m sure your friends will understand if you need to sit this one out. So whatever you choose to do this weekend, make sure it’s the right choice for you. Have fun!
