I have fun, but I don't need parties to have fun. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights roll around on college campuses all the time and when everyone is talking about the next big party that's happening, I'm more worried about what book I'm going to read or what movie I'm going to watch. And the part that tops it all of is what kind of food I'm going to order to go with it. The big party doesn't matter to me and I'm definitely positive when I tell you that I don't want to go.

Some people will say that I missed out on my experience by not going out and partying on my non-school nights. I can promise you that I didn't and I'm never going to think I did. I'm at school to go to school, but besides that, the idea of going parties was never fun to me. I can't imagine getting drunk at a house party and not knowing where I could be when I woke up the next morning. But I'm not saying that all partying situations end up that way. I can't imagine putting on an outfit that's uncomfortable or an outfit that I would freeze in when I stepped outside just to go to some party. But I'm not saying that you can't do it. But I do know that there's no way that I'm upset that I missed out on those things.

You don't have to ask me to go because I won't ever say yes. You can tell me my idea of a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night sounds boring and uneventful, but the truth is, it's perfect for me. I can't imagine doing anything else. There's too much at stake and I have the rest of my life to go out and enjoy drinking and being with friends. But right now, this is the most important thing in my life. I'd rather not mess it up by having an “underage" on my record or losing my chance at being able to go to class or my next collegiate sporting event.

Go ahead, call me a nerd, a geek, or just flat out boring. Going to college and going to parties was never something that will mix with me. I may not seem “normal" to you, but nothing matters to me more than being at college to get a college education.
