I am not quite twenty-one yet (short of five months or so) and I honestly feel like I am over the whole partying stage of my life. I am not saying that I do not like going out and drinking with my friends and I am not here to say that the only thing I look forward to the weekend is partying and getting drunk all the time. Some may say that I am either crazy or do not know how to have fun but, to be honest, I am extremely happy with being over that whole crazy college partying life.

Senior year, just like most students, I could not wait to go to college and party every weekend. In high-school, I was not one of those kids who would go out every weekend and hang out with friends mostly because I had plans with my family or I just wanted to relax and do my homework. I know, I was pretty nerdy I guess you can say. I did not really hit my partying stage until after I graduated high-school and was able to actually go to my friend's graduation parties and drink with them. Freshmen year of college, I can remember going out with friends to parties almost every weekend that there was a party walking distance from the campus. Sophomore year, I did not really it that crazy partying stage again until the spring semester when I felt like it was the only way I was finally able to enjoy my college experience. I am halfway through my junior year and honestly, I can tell you I have been to three parties. JUST THREE COLLEGE PARTIES!

While I'm here on campus, there really isn't a weekend when you can't find a party to go to with all your friends and roommates but honestly, I'm really over the whole idea of trying to find a cute crop top to wear with some nice skinny jeans and converse just to get all gross and sweaty at a house party or the bar. If I'm going to party, I want it to be around a fire with country music playing and I want to drink beer and not fear that someone if going to put some type of drug into my drink if I stop looking at it for a minute (and I'm not saying that this happens at every college party but I'm also not saying that it doesn't happen either).

The whole idea of partying lately just seems like a huge waste of time and I'm not entirely sure why exactly I'm like this because I'm a college student and I should love to go out and party every weekend with my friends but I don't.. I honestly hate the idea of partying when I'm here on campus.

I stated earlier that I do like to go to the parties back home when I'm around a huge bonfire with country music playing from either a radio or from the surrounding trucks. But even when I do go out with friends when I am back home, I don't stay out every late because after awhile the whole idea gets boring for me and I would rather be home curled up in a blanket cuddling with my boyfriend watching scary movies while eating ice cream with a bunch of sprinkles.

So I guess it is safe to say that I really am over that partying stage in my life. Now that I think about it and the closer I am to turning twenty-one the more I realize that I really hate the idea of staying up all night getting drunk and partying with all my friends and roommates and a bunch of people that I really don't like.

If you are anything like me and are starting to hate the whole idea of going out and getting drunk and you're young like me, it's okay because it's normal. You don't need to be like everybody else and enjoying partying all the time.

Embrace that ice cream-eating, curled up in warm blankets, Netflix watching lifestyle!
