I'm Not a Party Girl... and That's Okay

My idea of fun is the most literal version of Netflix and chill.

I go to a party school, but I'm not a party girl.

My school is lovingly known as "Wastern" throughout the state. I hear almost everyone talking about parties. It's all about how much weed you smoked or how much alcohol you were able to consume within the confines of a few hours. It's almost expected that, because I'm in college, and because of where I go to college, that I party.

I don't, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Just because I'm young and am at a "party school" doesn't mean I need to make what I consider to be poor choices. Personally, I know that I'm in college to get an education. I spend a lot of nights up late, but I'm not at some Frat house that I wouldn't even recognize in the daylight - I'm up studying. I have goal to graduate summa cum laude some day, and I personally know that I have to hit the books regularly in order to accomplish that. While some people can manage regularly partying and studying, and if you can do that, that's great, good for you - but I know I couldn't, so I've made a choice. On a night where I'm feeling adventurous, I may stay up late watching movies. For me, a late night out involves runs to Meijer with my friends and maybe going out to eat.

To me, there is little appeal in going to a place filled with "mysterious substances" and people that I don't know. I'm socially awkward as it is, and I don't want to drink somebody's gross beer to feel more apt to talk to people that I won't remember the next day. Especially when I could be at a museum or a play, or doing something intellectually stimulating.

If you go to parties, know that I am in no way trying to shame you. A lot of my friends party consistently, and I think they're awesome people! But the odds you'll ever see me at one of your parties is slim, if not none.

I go to a party school, but I'm not a party girl, and that's perfectly okay.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
