I Am A Girl Who Skipped The Party Stage

You can have fun without alcohol.

I Am A Girl Who Skipped The Party Stage
University Primetime

Let's get this one thing straight. I am not a partyer. I am the girl who works hard, puts school before everything and will always do her homework the day it is assigned.

My close friends know that I am nowhere near a party girl. If I go out then it is most likely eating sushi and having great conversations with my friends. I prefer sushi over greasy pizza any day. Believe me, I define the "good girl" image. And I don't see that as a bad thing. I see it as I am trying to be successful and I will do anything to be a good role model for my younger nieces.

Like the gif above, this is my reaction when my friends are shocked to hear that I have never actually been into trouble or that I don't know as much as they do. Innocence has stayed my friend for quite some time now. I have been told numerous times that I am innocent or naive.

Again, I do not see that as a bad thing. Thinking that my friends have never partied; makes me less worrisome. (Which is good because I worry about everything). Yeah, I might see the best in people, but it is better than becoming cynical.

I am one who likes to go out with a couple of friends. Not a whole bunch of friends, but just a couple of close friends. Do I like to have fun? Of course. Do I like adult beverages? Of course, but I am not going to volunteer to buy my friends alcohol or drive them to a high-class club in Nashville. I am not one to choose alcohol as an option to have fun. I am the mother hen of all of my friends. I prefer a quiet night in over a rowdy night out that I won't remember how I got home anyway.

I like to think that I am an Audrey Hepburn in this world or generation. Would you really catch Audrey Hepburn in a rowdy bar with the smell of cigarette buds floating in the air? No, and you would not catch me there either. I prefer classics and elegance over ripped jeans and converse. I am nowhere near the first stage of the party stage and for that, I am forever grateful.

Now I am not bashing people who have partied because we are young and free-spirited. I am not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but I just do not agree with the lifestyle you are choosing. I am sorry, but I will not apologize for having fun where alcohol was NOT involved. You can say all you want about how fun it is to drink and I will just say, "Mimosas are good." That is all.

I think I have made my point clear here, I do not expect you to agree, but I love being the "good girl" and I love how I have created my reputation. I only hope that you realize the meaningful times you have made without partying or going out to the most elite club or the hottest college party. And you will not catch me at a party with beer anyway.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
