It's Okay To Be The Party Girl

Not everyone goes out and parties every night they possibly can in college, but some people do fall into the stereotypical college party kid mantra. This is totally okay. If going out is not your cup of tea it's fine, but it's also fine if you are always down to get down. There is no shame in going out and having fun. It does not make you trashy. It does not mean you don't have your life together. Well, maybe.

I am the college party girl, and I love it. I love enjoying my college years and going out any night it's feasibly possible. I like being the girl that knows all the hook ups and knows what's going on in the social scene. Do you want to know what specials are at the bar every night? I got you. You want to know which fraternity is the nicest and will treat you like you belong in the house? I'm the one to go to.

I am the girl you will see chugging a pitcher of beer at the local college bar at 1 a.m. and yet still be in class the next day. I like drinking and I like being out with my friends. My friends just also like to party and I do not see anything wrong with that. As long as partying does not get in the way of other important things in life why should it be considered a bad thing? The social scene is my scene. I have never missed a bar night or happy hour and while in the grand scheme of things that may not be something to be proud of, I am proud. Proud that I can balance my social life, work, and school. How many people can say they have never missed a night out, work two jobs, and are graduating a full year early from college. Clearly being the party girl does not interfere with the important things in my life. Just because I am a party girl it does not automatically mean I am a sloppy drunk, I just really like to have fun and let loose. I will go out every night that it is possible, but I will still manage to keep my morals and stay on top of my school work. To me a night at home in bed is a night wasted.

Being a party girl does not mean you're a bad person. The party girl just has a bad reputation. I blame the media truthfully and our society as a whole for making alcohol seem so taboo. Sure some girls get sloppy, everyone has an occasional random night that they wish never happened. You live and you learn, though. You learn your limits and you learn how to have fun and still be able to remember the night. Being a party girl just means that you are social and like to have fun. It's totally okay to be the girl who closes the bar at least once a week and it's totally okay to be the party girl. You're only young once.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
