The big twenty-one. It's the age that we look forward to while we're in high school. But what we don't realize is that by the time we turn 21, we might already get tired of going out and partying.

Some people start going out in high school and some start going out and partying in college. That could be partying anywhere from 4 to 6 years of going out and partying with your friends. That's a long time of going out if you think of it that way. You could just be exhausted with doing the same thing all the time. Seeing the same people and doing the same thing every weekend could just get boring.

It could also be the effect that partying has on your body. Partying can lead to staying up late at night, if not staying up all night. You feel sluggish the next day from lack of sleep, your body might not want to eat, you end up sleeping all day, and you get nothing done. Doing this every weekend for years can lead to you having more medical problems and feeling tired more often.

You get so much less done when you're partying all the time. If you are out for hours on end partying you are most likely just talking and mingling. This means you are cutting your studying time in half on the weekends. That time that you could've stayed up late and studied was instead wasted staying up late. Your grades then suffer from partying. If you look online and look up the correlation between partying and college grades it is pretty high. It shows that partying can cause college students to get worse grades overall. This doesn't include the people that go out every once and while, but it shows the people who go out and party a lot. Is going out and partying every weekend really worth doing worse in school? Grades seem much more important to me.

There are so many other fun things you can do with your friends other than partying. In the summer you can go to the beach, go swimming by the pool, take a walk, sleep, and many other things. In the winter you can go bowling, go to the movies, have a movie night, or many other things. Going out with your friends and not partying could be so much more meaningful. You could get to know someone on so much more of a deep level instead of just casual talk.

I'm not even 21 years old and I'm tired of going out and partying. Going out and partying isn't a bad thing it can just be tiring and there are so many other things I could spend my time doing so why not do those instead?
