<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of \u2013 if not THE most important – part of any night out, and you gotta get it right. Taking that perfect squad selfie is practically a work of art and if you\u2019ve ever tried to master it, you\u2019ll have been through (at least) one of these stages\u2026<\/p>\n

1. You\u2019ve gathered everyone together, found the perfect lighting and background. Now it\u2019s the game of Tetris to make sure you\u2019ve got the whole squad there and get everyone in the frame. Not as easy as it sounds.<\/p>\n

2. Ah the selfie side. Everyone\u2019s got one and if you\u2019re lucky you\u2019ll have a BFF who\u2019s side is opposite so you can werk those poses. If not\u2026good luck!<\/p>\n

3. The designated selfie-taker (usually the one on the end or the one with the longest arms) will shout give the countdown and right on cue everyone tilts their head and pulls their selfie face.<\/p>\n

4. That is until the first review when you realise that you\u2019ve a) cut someone\u2019s head off or b) missed someone out altogether. Time for a reshuffle. If things really aren\u2019t going to plan, you may even take the bold decision to swap selfie takers.<\/p>\n

5. Now it\u2019s time to take a few snaps. You\u2019ll do the smiley selfie, silly selfie and sassy selfie. You\u2019ll switch poses like a pro and with so many to choose from, you\u2019re bound to find one for the \u2018gram.<\/p>\n

6. After a few attempts \u2013 including the flash vs. no flash (always no flash!) \u2013 it\u2019s time for the final review. Chances are, at least ONE person is gonna hate it and you\u2019ll have to start all over again.<\/p>\n

7. You finally find a squad approved selfie and then it\u2019s time to send to the group WhatsApp. Everyone wants a copy. #sorrynotsorry for the \u2018gram spam that is about to occur!<\/p>\n

8. Filter applied, caption perfected, it\u2019s time to post that squad selfie and watch the likes come rolling in. Yasss gals, you got it nailed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
