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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
