I am barely 19 yrs. old but I am already burnt out on partying and going out with friends. It is just boring. Do some people my age feel this way? This is going to sound weird but I would have absolutely no problem getting married and getting settled down at 19. Partying and getting wasted with my friends just doesn't cut it anymore.
I suppose it's a good thing. I settled down at the age of barely 20 and I'm perfectly happy. Every now and then we "party" but it usually doesn't consist of much but a few friends and a little alcohol. Not everyone wants to party when they're 19 and that's perfectly alright. I, myself, have always preferred to be surrounded by a few close friends than a hundred totally drunk strangers.
same here. i dont like partys anymore, they're so overrated. just a buch of drunk idiots running around making a rukus until the cops come. id much rather chill at home and drink with just a few of my closest friends.
Yeah, this is normal. You change and so does your friends, it just human nature. You will find it more enjoyable when you have a couple of friends come over to your house that you know that dont act like a jackass.
nothing is normal nor abnormal. normality is a mythological concept. there is only more and less bennificial and more and less probable. there is a bell curve of what happens most often, and of what people in any particular culture are most comfortable with themselves and each other doing. it is this latter that the myth of normality most often stands for and is intended to. but getting burnt out on the repitition of anything that does not provide the gratification of creativity nor exploration is of course perfectly reasonable to be expected. 'partying' attracts those not already familiar with it, as something to explore, as does everything anyone isn't already familar with. but as with so many things, there is only so much of it TO explore. and when you've used that up, you've used that up. of course there are many who seek to empare their judgement for the rest of their lives. while they may deny it to themselves, they are no longer seeking gratification at all, but rather have deprived themselves of the imagination to do so and simply instead seek 'comfort' in what they have become familiar with. an odd and not particularly comforting 'comfort' that i can see, for the gratification of creating and exploring still awaits all who have not forgotten its existence. it simply does however, in those regeons not already overly trod into featurelessism. =^^= .../\...
Is it normal? Growing up is perfectly normal... you're just way ahead of schedule. Hell, I didn't even start getting a clue until I was almost 30.
I don't go to too many partys anymore, especially getting as close to 21 as I am(2 weeks). With my luck I will have a run-in with the cops and thats the last thing I need right now. Having all the prior run-ins in the past from drinking, I would probably get thrown in jail. Hanging around the house with some good friends and good music is the way to go. But your right red. A good mind bending kegger every once in a while is the shit.
It always slips my mind that you guys need to be 21 to drink legally. You can bear at 13, but get caught carrying a bottle and your fucked. Really warped!!!
I'm surprised I didn't get an MIP ticket the other night when the pigs came through, because I'm still a month and a half away from 21 and we had alcohol in the house. It's so stupid, like redyelruc said, you can have a kid at 13, and don't forget they send you off to die at 18, but god forbid you take a sip of a beer before you turn 21! My 21st is likely going to be one of the lamest 21st birthdays ever, but that's okay, because I'm really not a partier.
Shit, my post was meant to say bear arms... What the hell, some kids are much more destructive than guns.
I don't know what I want to do for my 21st. Maybe go to the bar with a few friends. Its about damn time I can go buy alcohol without looking over my shoulders or play hey mister. oh god.. but now im going to have kids asking ME to buy now... thats gunna be a trip. ramona how many MIP tickets have you gotten?
I'm 19...I spent 4 years of highschool partying and fucking up. I love living the quieter life now...a beer on occasion and that is it!
Zero, never been in trouble or arrested, and I've only been detained by the police once. That was the biggest run-in I've ever had with the law and I hope to keep it that way.
