<p>Patwita, I answered your other thread about the same issue. I just hope you got my message. Not all people who party are stupid. In fact, the smartest people I know (school’s valedictorian AND salutatorian) both party and drink on occasion. It’s a way of releasing all the stress of the previous week. For me, on the weekends, weed clears my mind and prepares me for the coming week of hard work. This is how I’ve maintained a 4.0 for the past two years. I know that you’ve had a bad experience with partying in the past, but I promise that once you find some cool, reliable friends who are NOT idiots like your previous ones, you’ll come to find that partying can be a great way to break free from the incessant monotony of Sunday-Thursday.</p>
<p>Some people want to have fun and enjoy their lives instead of worrying about grades all the time. I’m not a party kinda girl but I love having stress-free lazy days with my boyfriend. Some people overdo it and some people use it to gain popularity or attention (ex: Facebook statuses saying “omg got sooo drunk 2nite sooo lucky da popo didn’t catch us<3333”), but partying isn’t a bad thing.</p>
<p>Jossie, I have steered clear from boys for as long as I can to stay away from temptation but there is one guy that has caught my attention. Let me just say one thing too, I use to fall for the partying bad boys who didn’t give a rats ass about school and everytime I kept getting hurt or I would befriend a pothead who ended up getting expelled for being drunk at a school function. So I guess you can say I just have a bitter mentality when it comes to partiers. But in the future I will try and keep an open mind because you guys are right, not everyone that relaxes by drinking is an idiot.</p>
<p>it sucks that you will never meet me because, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you get to the prince. ;)</p>
<p>just remember to not take everything too seriously in high school. and definitely dont take relationships seriously.</p>
<p>Awww that was cute!</p>
<p>Lol Jossie I thought you were a girl?</p>
<p>because it’s fun…obviously. it doesn’t need to be all schoolwork all the time, as long as you can achieve a good balance then who cares? as someone who smokes every day and drinks every weekend (admittedly not good for my future health), it’s not hard to get straight As and 2200+ SATs as long as you know how to work the system</p>
<p>Because it’s fun? I can’t really think of any other reasons to party…</p>
<p>I would have snapped from college app stress and just school in general if I wasn’t the type of person to go out on weekends.
there’s a balance that needs to be struck in order to create healthy human beings. a ton of people are unevenly balanced to one side and it seems to me many in this forum are stacked to the other.</p>
<p>@berkeleyca… So partying relieves stress? There’s other things to do like hang out with friends…I’ve never been to a party and don’t think id want to go in high school and I have 2 more yrs-too bad I can’t graduate this school year b\c I was born in 1994 :</p>
