Some of the best and happiest memories that I've ever had with my friends have been on our girls' holidays. When I was 18 I journeyed to Magaluf and then to Kavos a year later, both of which were absolutely hysterical, exhausting and some of the craziest and most enjoyable weeks I've had.
A few years on and these week long getaways, which gave some of us our first proper taste of freedom away from our parents, still provide us with hours of entertainment, filled with cringe-worthy memories that leave us reeling with laughter.
I'm sure many of you have been on these 18-30's holidays, so I hope you will be able to relate to these things that almost seem inevitable when you take a group of girl's and stick them in a hot country along with sun, sea, drink and dancing.
1. The first night someone will always get too drunk and struggle to make it to the strip or have to go home early.
2. A couple of you will think it's a good idea to go skinny dipping or for a casual swim in the middle of the night. Why?
3. Hangovers, for some reason, just don't seem as bad as UK hangovers. Damn you UK hangovers.
4. One of you will have a holiday romance and spend more time with that one person than the people they came with.... Hello remember us!?!?
5. Your tiredness levels are on par with someone who has climbed Mount Everest.. . it's the same level of exertion. Honest.
6. The reps/ pool DJ will soon become the bane of your life, when you're trying to sunbathe after only three hours sleep and they're trying to get you involved in some random pool activity. LEAVE ME ALONE!
7. You'll have those two or three songs that play in every bar you go in and when you come home you'll feel nostalgic each time you hear them.
8. The first time you go away you may get t-shirts printed with embarrassing names on the back. Then you'll spend the whole time leading up to the holiday trying to come up with some excuse to your parents as to what it means.
9. Trying to do your make-up, straighten/curl/blow-dry your hair in the stifling heat with a load of other girls around you is far from enjoyable.
10. The flight over is always full of excitement laughter, chanting and making plans for the forthcoming week. The flight on the way back is not.
11. Before you go, you'll plan one night where you promise to"take it easy", but once you get there all your promises soon go down the drain.
12. By the end of the holiday, you've drunk so many cocktails, eaten so much junk food and have had so little sleep you genuinely wonder how you're still alive. Your parents will also question this when they see you on return.
