If you and your roommates happen to be dateless on a summer Friday night, you might want to go swimming.
And if one of your roommates has parents who have a heated pool in their backyard, you will more than likely go to their house instead of swimming in your apartment's pool of ice water.
And because you're girls and there won't be any boys around, you might order a couple boxes of pizza.
And because you might be too impatient to wait a full thirty minutes before getting in the pool you may get cramps ranging from your stomach to your feet.
And then you may spend an hour or two just floating in the pool with a foam noodle.
And then being in a pool with your good friends will remind you that when you were little, you always pretended that you were a mermaid, so you may spend the next hour describing what you would look like if you were a mermaid.
And if you're a mermaid, you will need a merman, so the next half hour will be spent describing him in all his half human half fish glory.
And then all this swimming will make you tired and so you'll pack into your car in your wet suit and bare feet {because your mermaid fins turn into feet when you get out of the water naturally}, and you'll go home and watch a romantic comedy from the 90's.
And chances are if you're dateless on a Friday night, you'll turn into a mermaid.
