    Do Take a Break from Your Phone

    If you are glued to your phone all night, you will miss out on key face to face interactions with your colleagues. The snap chats and texts will be there when you are done. Also keep in mind that social media can capture everything. Be aware of this when ordering another drink and possibly hitting the dance floor.
