This idea is not new. It's older than the universe itself (some say it allowed for the universes creation). Despite a solid history, many folk are highly sceptical of 'Winging It's' success rate and snub it right off the bat. I suppose I can understand where they're coming from, but come on people, live a little. Not having a plan means that the plan can't fail, causing unbearable amounts of stress and disappointment (perhaps a slight exaggeration, there are some elements of truth, nonetheless).
To successfully 'Wing It', one requires:
- A dandy group of friends who don't mind sparing you a bit of floor space if necessary (keep in mind that to have dandy friends, you must also be a dandy friend). They also come in handy to split cab fares or make bus rides more enjoyable.
- An open mind.
- Money (buses, cabs, you know the drill).
- A phone to contact dandy friends/call in favours.
It might be slightly greedy to never want to miss out on any of the action, but that's irrelevant, it's far more fun (which ultimately provides greater ammunition for the stories and recounting that always occurs after an event/night out - e.g. "Suchandsuch was CARVING up the DF last night, you should have seen those MOVES!!! **Gives exaggerated demonstration** (yes, I totally have Dee in mind here)" , or often something more scandalous, but equally hilarious to relay to those who missed out.
So please, I urge you hooligans to give it a go.
Disclaimer: By no means am I saying DON'T make plans ever. Plans can be very helpful, especially when trying to fit in huge amounts in a short period of time/you have to make a deadline. And clearly, if you can make a convenient and quick plan prior to leaving home, do it ("hey, can i just crash at your place tonight so I don't have to trek it home?"). Just don't make awkward/slightly inconvenient plans that are likely to just restrict a good time. Also, don't let not having a plan stop you from going in the first place.
Those shenanigans certainly weren't planned.
