I was the stereotypical college girl. I'd go to class all week just longing for the weekend to go out with my friends and have a good time. I loved getting dressed up and doing my makeup just to go out and socialize with anyone and everyone that came in to my sight. I felt that I needed to go out with my friends in order to have a good time, it was normal for Saturday and Sunday mornings to be the farthest thing away from fun, but that is what I did, it is what we all did.

Now, I am past that. I don't need to go out every weekend in order to have fun. I don't need to be a part of the party scene to fit in. If going out every weekend meant fitting in, now, I would rather stand out from the crowd. I would rather stay in and relax with a couple friends than be surrounded by 100 people that wouldn't care to remember my name the next day. Granted, not going out on the weekends has changed the dynamic of many friendships that I once had. However, if they were really my friends I would have had a relationship with them outside of Friday and Saturday nights.

I am not saying one lifestyle is superior to the other, and I will not judge anyone for choosing one over another. I just ask that my decisions be respected, and I will do the same for yours. Just because we may not agree anymore does not mean I think less of someone as a person. I do not want to be pressured to go out, ultimately, it is my own decision. Why do something that makes you not feel good? I'd much rather get a good nights sleep and wake up refreshed and happy ready to accomplish anything that life may throw at me that day.

Rest in Peace to Socialite me, it was nice knowing you, but I am putting you in to retirement for an undisclosed amount of time, you may or may not be seen again.
