whenever I hear stories about college kids hitting up the party scene or drinking 'til their hearts desire, it gets me thinking. Why do teenagers like us want to grow up so quickly? Why must we have a certain percentage of alcohol in our bloodstream in order for us to have fun? Why do we need fake IDs to get into clubs? Why would you even want to go to a club anyway? The word "fun" has changed its meaning throughout the years and it hurts to know that people my age would rather engage in activities such as these instead of having "actual" fun.
"Let's go to the beach and have a bonfire." This is easy to say with the phrase: "and bring some alcohol." WHY?? Everything could be as much fun without the alcohol! It all depends on you! It depends on the people you bring! It doesn't depend on what type of alcohol your friend brought in the blue ice cooler over there. No! Make sand castles! Bury your friends in some sand! Go rent a beach cruiser and go biking around the plaza! Get some ice cream at the nearest parlor! Play some fucking beach volleyball for goodness sake! Anything! Minus the alcohol!
I don't understand what the problem with teenagers nowadays. Your teenage years are almost up and once you turn 21, I can bet you a lot of money that you're going to look back on these years and wonder why the hell you took them for granted.
People, c'mon. You're still young. Quit with your "I'm so young, I'm so cool" mumbo jumbo act. You're not the shit. Seriously. You're still a teen. A few years ago, you were a tween. Your breasts weren't fully developed. You had braces. Your acne was outrageously out of control. Your hair was disgustingly untamed.
Have some good clean fun. Go watch a movie with friends. Play laser tag and shoot those mother fluckers to another dimension. Order some pizza. Have a slumber party. Get your nails did. I don't know!
Why are you guys in such a hurry to grow up? It saddens me.

hokay i just HAD to comment on this one. i don't think it's an issue of trying to act older and grow up quickly but rather of loosening up and forgetting about reality. i still do sober things like get my nails did and dancing to my ipod after i finish an essay or something! it's just that sometimes when i've had a long week and just wanna be relaxed and forget about everything that's bothering me i find that alcohol is a pretty good solution. it sucks that some people like me can't turn to sober alternatives all the time for relaxation and enjoyment, but i think it's because life keeps getting harder and the same things that used to make you happy no longer does..
okay good luck on chem :)
