I just need to get this off my chest: maybe it's because I never had a "normal" social life in college, maybe it's because I'm not there anymore and I miss it subconsciously or something else altogether, but the whole college social scene is so ridiculous to me. I've always been somewhat skeptical/hesitant about the whole thing. I never felt like I fit into the traditional social scene in college. My primary goal when going out is not generally to get totally trashed or to meet the next person on the long list of people I plan to sleep with this week like far too many people I know (even if they're delusional and never achieve their "goals"). I've gone out, I've had a few drinks with friends. Hell, I've had more than a few sometimes. The thing is, it's not the major objective for me to hit mug night whenever I can. I've always scheduled my partying around my necessities, not the other way around. People who don't take early classes on the days after the bar specials or those who want a three-day weekend just so they have an extra night to party and then sleep in are kinda pathetic. Being on the dean's list should be a higher priority than being a beer pong tournament champion. I got through school with great memories, and the best ones are entirely substance-free. Maybe it's me, but I had to get that out. There's more, but who wants to listen to me bitch?
