Stage Three: The Real World (Ugh, This Hangover)
As the afterglow of immediate-post-college education wears off, you’re not gonna hit the bars as hard. Sure, you still crush it over the weekend, and maybe you’ll have a mid-week rager here and there, but you’re going to find yourself saying things like, “Can I get a beer and a water? Got an early meeting tomorrow,” where you used to say things like, “Ha, water, bro? No way, fish fuck in that!”
You’re slowing down, but you’re not slow. You still do bar crawls and have the occasional regrettable one night stand, though you’re spending more and more nights on Tinder dates as opposed to out with the bros.
