So, last weekend, I went out dancing at a club on campus. After being there awhile, I realized how treacherous this world can be. Having since turned 21, I have been experiencing new sorts of things( like getting tipsy for the first time, it was a good experience and I'm glad I know now...but never gonna do it again ) and going to a club was one of those new things. I went with a friend, and I could tell she was having a good time, some of her friends were there and she was laughing and having fun, and I was too....it's just that........
I don't know. I mean, it was so hard for me to believe that people go out and do THAT every weekend. I was exhausted by the end of the night, my whole body hurt from dancing the next day, and I didn't even DRINK. the whole time I was thinking, " Boy, it'd be nice to be in the aroma cafe right now, drinking an Irish Cream steamer, while reading a book or sketching in my sketchbook. " Maybe it was all the grinding and drunk people and crammed spaces and loud music and random make-out sessions that I was overlooking that turned me off to everything. Who Knows....
All in all, I'm glad I did it. I know now why people go out and do things like that, because it is fun, but just not for me. And the whole time, my head was screaming at me, " Grace, you don't belong here. Are you kidding? Go home and harvest your crops on Farmville. "
I'm certainly not as naive as I used to be.
