I'm done with the college party phase.

Whenever I say this most people look at me as if I'm crazy, and others just as if I'm lying. But, I am not lying.

With still being in my first year of college many people find it odd that I am so over that scene, but I am. I had my fair share of parties and nights at the bar and random guys and girls.

I got tired of trying to keep track of my room keys after a few hours and drinks at the bar. I got tired of feeling random guys groping me and not knowing what is going to happen next. I got tired of going out with people that I hardly even knew. I got tired of coming home after midnight and having to get up at five in the morning to do work.

I saw people rushed to the hospital. I saw people lying in their own puke. I saw people too high to even see straight anymore. I saw people too drunk to make it home.

I also saw the good side of this all. I saw people having the time of their life — hooking up with strangers, playing drinking games, doing body shots, and trying out new things. It was honestly all so appealing in the beginning, but not anymore for me.

I would tell people I'm just going out with a few friends, but never fully tell them where I was going. I'd make plans with random girls and guys to meet up and head to the bar or a local party. I thought it'd be the scene for me, but I realized how stupid I was being.

I did it out of rebellion for my own thoughts. I was going through a lot and thought partying would make me see the better of it, but it didn't.

A few guys from the parties recognized me around campus. Their intentions were clear and those nights I almost made huge mistakes. Luckily, I caught the better of myself, and realized these guys weren't worth it...weren't worth what I wanted. They weren't going to fix what I was going through, and the alcohol they were trying to give me wasn't the answer either.

At the start of this year I thought the party phase was awesome, and it was, and for many it still is, but for me, I'm over it. I went out a lot more than people actually realized, and with a lot of people that I could care less about the day afterwards. I'm done with the college party scene.

You can keep your solo cups, purses filled with alcohol, and drug stuffed pockets, because I'm fine with saying I'm done with that. If I am to go out and have fun it's not going to be at those drunken parties anymore, or in a too crowded bar, or with random guys groping me on the way home.

I'm happy with where I am now, and that's away from the college party scene.
