I'm currently filled with disappointment...and fed up with friends who are flakes. If you say that you're going to do something, and you end up not being able to do it, what is the harm in making a simple courtesy phone call? When 30 people told me that they were coming over last night for some beer pong and other various games, I panicked. When I began inviting people over I invited a lot, assuming that half wouldn't be able to come. When almost everyone said they could make it and most wanted to bring a guest, I was worried that we would have too many people in the apartment. Well that wasn't the case at all. In fact, it was exactly opposite. About 15 people who told me they were coming, never even showed. So I had gone out and gotten a keg, bought some other stuff, and prepared to have a lot of friends over. However, not only did more than half not show up, they didn't even CALL to inform me that they wouldn't be coming. What happened to common courtesy and letting a party host know that you wouldn't be able to make it? It's not like it could be a last minute thing because I don't live right by USF (where people are at all of the time). I guess I'm just sick of the college attitude. The attitude that if there aren't enough chicks, or it's not an insane party, it must not be a good place to go. I'm also sick of the attitude that it's cool just to not show up when you already said you were going to be somewhere. With not even a phone call? Seriously? No, it wasn't supposed to be a wild party which is why I knew off the top of my head who was coming and who wasn't. I live in what I like to consider a fairly nice apartment - not a place that I want to expose a bunch of randoms to so that they can come over and use me for my free beer and fuck my place up. As for the friends being complete rude shitbags, I don't think I have EVER told someone that I'd be at their place and just not shown up. I would at least call to let them know - or I woudn't commit to it in the first place. Maybe back in the day when it was a huge keg party and the person inviting was super annoying about it- and I knew they wouldn't even miss me (or remember that I came at all). But like I said, this wasn't one of those events - and it was quite obvious that it wasn't.
I'm really looking forward to graduating, meeting a great guy, beginning my career, and hopefully interacting with some mature adults - who could possibly become friends. I'm over this whole college thing.
