Here’s everything that will happen on your lads or girls holiday

After a long year at uni, summer is finally here and that holiday booked back in January is now round the corner. Clubbing holidays with friends are made to let your hair down, have fun and go wild. Well that’s what us Brits are known for after all. Will you be the friend lying in the gutter by the end of the night?

Someone will get ratty in the airport (we all have that friend)

There’s always that one friend who leads the group and acts like mother hen. They take care of the tickets, passports and room keys because everyone is useless. At one point they’ll become frustrated with the rest of the group for being giddy drunken idiots.  However, without this friend the group will be stranded in Newcastle airport half cut at 6:00am trying to find the right gate to board nearly missing the flight to Kavos. So if you want to make it to your destination remember to follow the sensible friend.

Someone will get way too drunk on the first night

It’s the first night out and your new to the strip. It’s a guarantee that one friend will get way too drunk at pre drinks and by the end of the night they are legless unable to walk which means someone needs to step in to help out, but it’s not that simple. The friends a bit hefty and other people will begin to notice you struggling which results in an army of drunks carrying the light weight friend back to the hotel. Don’t worry though you’ll dump the passed out friend on the bed and head back on it with the rest of your pals.

Someone will think they’ve fallen in love

There’s no denying boys are on holiday for one thing… to pull. But girls don’t mind having a bit of fun either. One friend will definitely fall in love. As mad as it sounds, after a week on holiday it’s possible. They’ll meet someone and be inseparable spending every night together oi oi. Boys will land back in the UK and realise what happens in Kavos was meant to stay in Kavos. On the other hand girls will still be madly in love, do some stalking on social media and discover he has a girlfriend. Oops.

The bar reps will turn from your best friend to your worst enemy

As soon as you step foot on the strip the reps will be swarming at you like bees around honey. They will do anything to get you in bars, even offer free shots and drink deals. The first time you’ll be polite, it’s your first night and you need to discover some bars anyway. By the third night its become rather annoying so you just bluntly ignore them or scream abuse in their faces. By the end of the holiday you know short cuts to avoid them at all costs.

There will be one fall-out

As things go you get on with your friends well and have good craic. On holiday you’re with them everyday 24/7, sounds exciting right? Until you’ve had enough of them and their bad habits are getting too much for you. On holiday you discover you’re friendship group’s true colours. You will have one big bust up. It can either go two ways, forgive and forget straight away or hold a grudge returning to the UK as enemies.

You will waste your money on ‘event packages’ and go to two at most

There will be one friendship group that’s dumb enough to buy the full weeks events package which is a waste of valuable money. You won’t attend all the events, as it’s too much in one week. Two events you will definitely do is the boat party and paint party. You’ll have the time of your life on the boat party, booze, food, music, water sports and drinking games – what more could you ask for? The paint party will be a daft night to remember. Looking identical to everyone else wearing a “Eat, sleep, paint, repeat” top to get covered in paint which isn’t as good as it makes out to be- you’ll be disappointed. You’ll come out of the venue looking like a colourful drowned rat, but you’re on holiday who gives a shit.

There will be a holiday anthem

You’re thinking about yours now, aren’t you? ‘House Every Weekend’ was the summer song of last year. There will be a song repeated over again whether you’re round the pool chilling or bopping away in the bars. Whatever song it is will be your holiday anthem. You’ll cherish this song for the rest of the year. When you hear the song play in the dull UK, you’ll get the holiday blues and flashbacks of all the memories.

You’ll think you are at one with the locals

A week on holiday feels like forever. You get to know all the bar staff, workers and other holiday makers. You’ll know your way round like it’s your second home. It will feel like you belong there and won’t want to leave. You’ll be on first name basis with the pervy kebab man, shouting: “We love you Nikos” down the strip. You’ll recognise the bar men and go to the same bar every night just to see them. The managers and workers in the hotel will feel like family who have looked after you throughout the holiday. Lastly, you’ll make new friends every night when you’re drunk (who you most likely won’t remember), but you’ll also make friends during the day who you will remember (if not still drunk).

You’ll experience traumatising, awful holiday blues

It’s the last morning and Kavos 2016 has come to an end. Probably still intoxicated from the night before you’ll be sobbing your heart out at the thought of leaving. You and your friends will get fowl looks in the airport. One covered in paint from the paint party, one wearing “I <3 Kavos” shorts and the other wearing last nights clothes with a love bite on their neck. You will all look like trash, but not mother hen they’re dressed sensibly, obviously. On the journey back you’ll already be discussing the memories made. Once you land in the UK you’ll be dying to get a shower, have some proper food and finally have sleep in your own bed. The next morning the holiday blues will kick in and you won’t get over the best holiday ever… until the next.
