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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
