This is for all of you party virgins! Being that I just finished my junior year of high school, I've been to my fair share of parties, whether it be a shitty party I went to with a total of 6 people including myself or a party that had at least 200 people there. This post will be a little advice on how to get invited, how to act, & my opinion on the whole thing I guess you could say.
How to get invited!
Well in order to actually go to parties you kind of need to be invited or at least given the address. The easiest way is to utilize social media. Just be casual about it. DM someone on twitter who you know who you know parties. You don't have to be close with them. You could just know them from a sports team or a class. Just shoot them a message "ayyy do you have the addy for tonight?" It's really simple as that. Don't over think it. You can also slowly start to hang out with people who tend to go to parties for a higher chance at being "invited". If you here them talking about it don't be afraid to speak up & ask them to text you the address or even ask if they wanna carpool. Offer to be the DD. This brings me to my next topic...
How to Act
Okay so you got invited to the party. Now you need to know how to act. For your first few parties maybe take it slow. Be the DD or just don't get shitfaced. If you make a scene or if you're just a shitty drunk, you probably won't be invited very often. Try to show up with a group of friends or at least one friend. Walk in & be friendly. DON'T be awkward. Depending on your personality that might be tough, but try to be as outgoing as possible. Talk to people you know, talk to people you don't. Chances are that a lot of people there will be drunk or high therefore they'll probably be more outgoing themselves which will work in your favor. In my personal experience the people that were out smoking were usually the most friendly. You don't have to smoke, but if you have no one to talk to, they will most likely welcome you. You DON'T have to drink! I cannot say this enough! Don't feel pressured to drink & if anyone is giving you crap for it just say "I have to be home after this & my parents aren't cool with me drinking" simple as that. Don't feel pressured to do anything. Just have fun. Don't take it too seriously.
My Opinion!
Okay so I've been to my fair share of parties & I have to say that some of my best nights with my friends have been at parties. I went to my first real party my freshman year & went to my first college party my sophomore year which was really intimidating at first. Honestly if you can control yourself & you're safe about it, parties aren't the great evil that parents & media have made them out to be. Parties are a great place to meet new people from your schools or other schools. They're fun social events where you can just chill & let go for a bit & just enjoy yourself. I personally find that going with my best friends, usually the Fantastic Four, which is what we like to call ourselves, are the people I have the most fun with. Find party buddies. People who you can go with who are fun. If you decide to drink you & your party buddies can see who will be the DD for certain nights & you can switch off. I think as long as you're being safe & not acting like a complete douche then it's fine. Depending on how strict your parents are, try not to lie to them bc it will bite you in the ass. If you have to keep the lies short & simple & maybe even write them down so you don't forget. Alrighty! So that about wraps it up! Bye & be safe! See you next time guys!
