5 Reasons Why Partying Is Worth It

Yeah, sure partying too much is bad, but going to the occasional party is a good thing. I attend parties whenever it is possible. They are a good thing for people who get shy.

1. You meet people you won’t meet anywhere else.

At parties you tend to meet people who don’t even attend the school you go to, and if you hadn’t attended that party, you would’ve never met those people. I love meeting new people. A lot of people I am friends with now started talking to me while at a party.

2. Parties get you out of your comfort zone.

Parties tend to get people out of their comfort zone. Parties are good for me because I am usually quite shy. So parties get me out of my comfort zone. I always try to talk to new people and socialize while at a party. It is a very good way to expand your friend group. I have always wanted to be an outgoing and less shy person. At parties I can be that outgoing and non-shy person.

3. You get to have an amazing night for $5.

Most parties cost $5. At a party I tend to have a lot of fun, so $5 is a good deal. I have always had a lot of fun at parties. I get to hang with a bunch of friends and listen to great music. I had no idea what parties were like until the beginning of my freshmen year. After I went to my first party I started going to as many as I could. I loved the environment and the people and the music.

4. You never forget the crazy parties.

Some nights are unforgettable because of the party being busted or because of a crazy thing that happened at the party. I remember some nights better than others because of the events that occurred. I remember the first party I went to better than some of the most recent parties I went to, just because of what happened at that party.

5. You grow close with the people you hang out with at parties.

All of the people I constantly hang out with at parties are some of the closest friends I have. During parties we bonded and got close. We danced together and talked about random crap no one usually cares about. We took too many pictures and danced when no one else was dancing.


Going to parties was a good move on my part. I have made many new friends and become closer with friends I already had because of parties. I love being the person I am at parties because now I try to be outgoing and less shy even when I am not at parties. I try to be more social with people I don’t know very well because parties got me to be more social and step outside of my comfort zone. I recommend attending at least one party before deciding you're not a party person because you may realize you are a party person.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
