Don’t get me wrong partying is a huge part of college; however for me, partying has never been my thing. In fact, college parties can often times be overrated. Here are the five reasons why the party life can get old.
1. The Sweaty Frat Parties. Oh yes, we all have been to one of those. Nothing is better than being in a small house with a bunch of sweaty college kids.
2. Bring Your Own Beer. At parties it can always be dangerous to drink beer when you don’t know what possibly could have been put in it, so make sure to bring your own alcohol to parties, or don’t drink any alcohol that has already been opened before you drink it.
3. The Creeps. Every party has those creepy guys that just want to get in your pants. Make sure to watch out for those and also have a girl best friend with you just in case you need a S.O.S.
4. They get shut down. Often times neighbors call on rowdy college parties and within a hour or so they get shut down by the cops. Usually you will spend more time getting ready for the party, or pre-gaming at your house longer than the party will actually last.
5. Who enjoys a hangover? Nothing is worst than waking up on a weekend- or even worst a week day- with a huge hangover and having to recover the next day while in your biology lecture or at work.
