Why I Am Not A Party Animal
www.hercampus.com

When people hear that I am twenty they just assume I am going out partying with my friends on nights that I come home at one in the morning. The truth is the opposite, I would rather go to my friends house in pajamas and watch Disney movies until 1 am. I would rather sit around a campfire, making a life time of memories that I know I am going to cherish everyday.

I want to be able to remember what happened the night before. Why would I want to forget all the memories that I made? I'm tired of being judged for not being a party animal. If I want to go out until 1am with my friends I am going to do it, sober. When people ask me, "aren't you twenty shouldn't you be out partying or doing drugs?" I get annoyed.

Those are the most immature people that you will ever meet.

I am not sorry for wanting to do things sober. I don't regret saying no drugs and alcohol. The best times of my life are the times that I have had sober, and I do not regret it. People need to stop being persuaded by other people. You don't have to follow what everyone is doing.

You can be you. Being you is the best thing that you could do for yourself. If someone asks why you don't party your reply should be, "I'm just being me", and they should not question you any further. It's your life and you could do whatever you want with it.

Don't ever think that your'e not of the "norm" if you spend a night inside sleeping instead of out partying.

Don't think that you are missing out if you are only in your twenty's and people are out partying you still have your whole life ahead of you. Don't be afraid to just stay inside one night and relax I promise you the party you were mad about missing is going to seem so silly to you in just a few months.

My advice to you is just to have fun. You don't need to party to have fun all you need are pajamas and movies, take my word for it.

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.
