I Am A Girl Who Skipped The Party Stage

You can have fun without alcohol.

I Am A Girl Who Skipped The Party Stage
University Primetime

Let's get this one thing straight. I am not a partyer. I am the girl who works hard, puts school before everything and will always do her homework the day it is assigned.

My close friends know that I am nowhere near a party girl. If I go out then it is most likely eating sushi and having great conversations with my friends. I prefer sushi over greasy pizza any day. Believe me, I define the "good girl" image. And I don't see that as a bad thing. I see it as I am trying to be successful and I will do anything to be a good role model for my younger nieces.

Like the gif above, this is my reaction when my friends are shocked to hear that I have never actually been into trouble or that I don't know as much as they do. Innocence has stayed my friend for quite some time now. I have been told numerous times that I am innocent or naive.

Again, I do not see that as a bad thing. Thinking that my friends have never partied; makes me less worrisome. (Which is good because I worry about everything). Yeah, I might see the best in people, but it is better than becoming cynical.

I am one who likes to go out with a couple of friends. Not a whole bunch of friends, but just a couple of close friends. Do I like to have fun? Of course. Do I like adult beverages? Of course, but I am not going to volunteer to buy my friends alcohol or drive them to a high-class club in Nashville. I am not one to choose alcohol as an option to have fun. I am the mother hen of all of my friends. I prefer a quiet night in over a rowdy night out that I won't remember how I got home anyway.

I like to think that I am an Audrey Hepburn in this world or generation. Would you really catch Audrey Hepburn in a rowdy bar with the smell of cigarette buds floating in the air? No, and you would not catch me there either. I prefer classics and elegance over ripped jeans and converse. I am nowhere near the first stage of the party stage and for that, I am forever grateful.

Now I am not bashing people who have partied because we are young and free-spirited. I am not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but I just do not agree with the lifestyle you are choosing. I am sorry, but I will not apologize for having fun where alcohol was NOT involved. You can say all you want about how fun it is to drink and I will just say, "Mimosas are good." That is all.

I think I have made my point clear here, I do not expect you to agree, but I love being the "good girl" and I love how I have created my reputation. I only hope that you realize the meaningful times you have made without partying or going out to the most elite club or the hottest college party. And you will not catch me at a party with beer anyway.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
