9 Reactions I Get When I Tell People I Don't Party

Confession: I don't go to parties. I've never really seen the appeal. While I don't judge people who do party, I do judge how people react to me not partying.

1. You're lying.

No, I'm really not. It's just not my scene, and when people tell me I'm lying, it makes me want to say they're a liar anytime they say they don't do something.

2. Well, what do you do?

I'm about to blow your mind: There are things to do in college besides partying. I don't drink, but I have movie nights with my friends. We go to Waffle House at 2 am just because we can. I love that, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

3. I bet you're super religious.

While yes, I am religious, that is in no way one of the main reasons why I don't drink or party. Not only that, but with this thinking, does that mean that since you party you're going to hell?

Didn't think so.

4. Hey, will you be my designated driver?

While I appreciate the fact that you're asking for a designated driver, I'm literally the designated driver for all of my friend groups already. Please don't make me spend my gas taking yet another group of drunk people home.

5. Come out with me this weekend, and I'll show you that parties are fun.

I've been to my share of parties to know it's not my scene. I assure you I'll be miserable no matter what party you take me to. Just stop.

6. You're such a Mr./Ms. Goody-Two-Shoes.

Maybe I am, and? Somebody's got to be the goody-two-shoes of the world.

7. *pats head like a child*

The next time someone pats my head I'm going to rip their arm off, I swear. (Not really.) (But seriously stop .)

8. You must have really good grades.

I do, but not because I don't party, but because I quite enjoy the scholarship that's paying for my education.

9. Wait, why?

Maybe it's for religious reasons, maybe it's for grades, or maybe it's just because I'm not into drinking and partying. No matter what the reason is, the biggest thing is that it's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
