5 Things We’ve Definitely Done To Spoil Ourselves After A Graveyard Hospo Shift
DiDi the rideshare of choice for uni students!
You’ve been counting down the hours (“Just have to do 15 minutes, eight more times!”) and you’ve finally finished that hospo shift that you agreed to at the last minute. Now it’s time to do everything that you have been planning in your head for the last eight hours.
#1 Eat Every Single Thing
Ice-cream is good, but it’s so much better late at night. Especially from any ice-cream shop or gelato place that uses words like “semifreddo” and “full-fat”. And you can excuse the binge because you have been dealing both with standing upright for a number of hours and expending a very large amount of emotional energy dealing with people who “don’t like the shape of the ice in their glass”.
#2 Catch Up On Everything You’ve Missed
Somehow, everything happens while you’re at work. Two of your mates are now in a relationship (???), someone has checked in to a sailing trip in Croatia, and there were 65+ new messages added to the group chat. How does anyone on this green earth balance working with knowing anything about anyone at all, ever?
#3 Indulge In Being Totally Extra
Yeah, you could take the train. Or the tram. Or you could ride your bike. These are all viable options. But nothing beats that feeling of using for phone to summon someone else drive you around in that sweet, sweet air-conditioning. If you’re lucky, the driver of your rideshare might even have some mints in the door pocket. And you get to ask them if it’s “been busy tonight?” and then they say, “Yeah”. Bliss!
#4 Mentally Start Purchasing Things With All Your $$$
Have you ever made money if you haven’t spent it in your mind before you get it? No? Us either. So, what you need to do is visualise every useless and luxurious purchase you do not need, do no maths, and just assume that you can afford it all. Then, when you get paid and cover off rent/bills/food/necessities, realise that you have $3.50 left and your mental shopping spree will have to wait until next week. Sigh.
#5 Do Literally Anything But Rest Up For The Next Day
You can (and will) complain for the entirety of your shift about how tired you are, but after your ride drops you off, it’s time to CLEAN YOUR WHOLE HOUSE! Or start a new series on Netflix! Or bake a croquembouche! How about playing bops out loud for two hours while doing nothing but scrolling your timeline?
Whatever it is, you deserve it because you’ve worked hard today. Now you’ve just gotta do it all again tomorrow.
