I'd Rather Hang Out With My Parents Instead Of Partying

Yes I hangout with my parents instead of partying, and yes I actually enjoy it.

I'd Rather Hang Out With My Parents Instead Of Partying
Renata Lima

Crazy right? A 20 year old girl that would actually rather spend time with her parents then go out and party or spend her time with her friends, mind blowing.

It's not that I don't like hanging out with my friends because I do, but my friends and I all enjoy very different things. Personally my idea of a good time is sitting on the couch with some food and watching a very good, drama filled movie. My friends are also all away at college and life gets lonely when there's only a few of your friends left in town.

Personally, my parents are a hoot (the use of the word really emphasizes that I do hang out with my parents a lot). On Fridays, my parents and I sit at the dinner table and just talk about all the stuff that happened during that week. We tell jokes, and we laugh until we cry. If it was a rough week we just sit and talk about how we could've handle things better. My dad frankly is the funniest man I know. My friends often times come over just to see him, and my mom finds my dad really obnoxious 90% of the time even though she really loves him.

I personally have the most fun when I'm with my parents. We go to concerts together, we go to dinner together almost every weekend, we go to the mall, we do everything you do with your friends together, and yes that includes getting drunk together too. Honestly. when I don't do these things with them I really do miss them. Now I know what you're wondering, why do you spend so much time with you 50 year old parents, you can find people your own age that are like them, that's true. I do know people like them and I do enjoy their company, but the truth is my parents aren't going to live forever. They're still young and healthy, and I pretty sure they're going to live to embarrass me until they're 120 but one day they won't be around or maybe one day I won't live close enough to them to see them all the time so I'll miss all the time I wasted trying to not spend time with them.

Yes just like you sometimes I don't want to be around my parents, and just like you sometimes they annoy me with their excessive rules that frankly are border line insane. Yes, sometimes I want to go buckwild and just be a 20 year old girl but most of the time I'm okay with my parents being my best friends and spending my whole weekend with them. But don't tell them that because it'll go to their heads.

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.
