My Post-81

Throughout the years, I’ve had a lot of people come in and out of my life. But the one thing that stuck by my side through thick and thin is my hangover t-shirt. 

This T-Shirt is so much more than just an article of clothing. For the past 5 years, this shirt has helped me through some of my darkest days and my toughest times. 

Something about putting this shirt on when I’m hurting puts me at ease. I find myself hungover every other day so this has become almost a uniform for me. 

It has gotten to the point that when I have this shirt on, both my friends and family know to just leave me alone. It’s a statement piece which screams: stand clear, I’m clearly going through it. 

Unfortunately, much like Harambe himself, this shirt’s days are numbered. Which was once a gentle cut along the neckline has now shifted into a giant stretch out hole. A toga, if you will.

So I felt that it was only right for me to dedicate an entire blog to my beloved tee, and take a trip with all of you down hungover memory lane. 

The t-shirts big debut. I had originally bought this tie dye masterpiece for a pep rally my senior year of highschool. Much like me, the shirt was so young, so naive and had no idea how quickly hangovers progress over time. 

Weeks later, I solidified the fact that the t-shirt would be my forever hangover companion when I woke up from one of my top 10 worst blackout of all time. On this day, I made a verbal will on my Finsta because I was 100% sure that I would end it all.

Since then, I have yet to off myself and also seemed to never take the shirt off either. Harambe joined me throughout the years as I experienced things like….

My first college visit and dorm bathroom yack fest.

Hungover roadtrips…

Week long benders…

& of course the inevitable bender comedowns.

I’ve done a lot while wearing this iconic t-shirt. Such as: thrown up, self reflected, laughed, cried, ate my body weight in greased up food, try to recall the night before, walk of shamed, you name it.

I dread the day my trusty tee either rips in half, gets lost, or my friends finally burn it like they’ve been threatening to do for years. Regardless, I cherish the moments we’ve spent together…even if they weren’t so great.
