Top 3 Reasons My Mother Hated House Parties

Jay Park's new video explains my childhood so well

Top 3 Reasons My Mother Hated House Parties

Ever since I was a kid, I always wondered why my mom would never let me have parties at our house. Before "Project X" and those other crazy movies came out, chill parties with friends seemed normal, so I never really got it. That's until AOMG released Jay Park's "Party" video and I saw exactly what my mom saw in her head:

Fire

To mom, parties meant fire-breathing clowns, torches, flamethrowers and an all consuming blaze that would reduce our house to ashes. My friends would leave the stove on or use the microwave when a fork was still on a plate -- then BOOM, sparks fly.

Women

I was a teen at the time and you know what teenaged boys like: women. There was no way my mom was going to let her little boy grow up so fast.

Utter Chaos

Now that I'm older and have seen how crazy some parties actually are (the ones in "Wolf of Wall Street" are insane), I can't imagine the stress that my mom must have felt having to think about cleanup. That's why I started being a guest at parties instead of hosting them. #AvoidTheChaos


Now, life is gorgeous. Cheers to you, mother.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
