Life as I know it

In high school, I was never much of a partier. I went to quite a few parties throughout the years, but I never drank, and it was something that I was really proud of. When I left for college, I wasn't quite sure if my habits or feelings about parties would change. I can now say that my habits have not changed, and the party scene is much different in college. In college, parties are a common occurrence. At first, I found it outrageous that some of my friends were going out on a Tuesday night. It's been something that I have kind of grown used to though, any time is a good time for a party in college. When I was enjoying my last few weeks of summer vacation before leaving home I wasn't really sure if my choice to always stay sober would be accepted within my peers. My first college party I was relieved to find that many people didn't drink, and I made some good friends that night. Actually, it is something that is really respected by college students. I cant tell you how many times someone asks if I want a drink, I reply saying "No, I don't drink" and then they respond saying "wow, I really respect that", or something of the sort. I still wouldn't consider myself a partier. I'd prefer a movie, junk food, and some close friends in a room over a party any night. It's always nice to do something different once and a while, just always remember to say true to yourself and to not let anyone pressure you into something that makes you uncomfortable.

Defy Gravity and Keep Smiling,
