We all know the popular song Chandelier by Sia and its opening line: “Party girls don't get hurt". A line every (single) college girl tries to live by. So what's the truth? Do us so-called “party girls" truly get by without letting anything get under our skin or are we just as fragile as all the rest of the women out there?
So here it is, the secrets of your typical party girl:
You Drink Away The Pain.
Because when you're sad, there's really no better way to get over it than to drown your sorrows in 5 or so shots of cheap vodka and dance the night away like nothing even happened in the first place.
You Won't Let Anything Stand in The Way of Your Night Out.
It's YOUR night with YOUR friends, so who cares if you see him (boyfriend/ crush/ any other label of this generation for the boy you're talking to) with someone else because nothing can ruin your fun … more like you to pretend like it doesn't affect you at all so you can cry about it in private later.
You Tell Yourself There's Someone Better.
Chances are the boy you like is probably a tool, and if he's not … nope, he's definitely a tool. And just because you've been fishing for a while and haven't found a catch, doesn't mean that you won't. We go to a big school full of boys so there's certainly somebody out there better than the last one. Or at least that's what we gotta tell ourselves, am I right?!
You Say, “I'm Not Normally Like This."
Yes, you are. And if you aren't, the guy you spent the night with probably doesn't believe you.
You Don't Want a Boyfriend.
Or at least you say that you don't. But let's be honest, one-night stands are only for one night but what about the rest of the days of the week? Don't get me wrong, being single is fun but only for so long. And as much as we tell ourselves that we aren't lonely … we are. (Don't take this to heart ladies, I'm just saying, how nice would it be to actually have a date locked in when formal season comes around?!)
So there, you have it, the inside scoop as to what really goes on behind the party girl mask. Of course, there are always a few outliers, but for the most part, as much as we pretend we aren't, we are just like all the other emotional women population. But honestly ladies, keep smiling and dancing the night away because nothing can stand in the way of your night out. There's someone better out there, you can misbehave because you aren't normally like this, and you don't want a boyfriend anyway ... right? ;)
