College Party

My first college party experience by: Dyeato Paye 

As I began the new chapter in my life as a college student, at first I decided that I was never going to attend any parties. However, after having the friends I made at school encourage me to go and me trying to convince myself that just going to one or a couple wouldn't hurt, I figured that I would be fine. The first college party that I went to was a party at a frat house. I couldn't help but think about all the stereotypes that are made about frat parties, but I reminded myself of how long it took for me to say yes to my friends on going to my first college party so I wasn't going to let petty stereotypes draw me away from something that is so normal in college. 

The expectations that I had before going to my first college party were mostly met. Everything that I would imagine for it to be was confirmed. The music, drinks, and dancing. I love going to parties just to dance because I think that dancing is fun. When I went to first college party, even though my expectations were made, I was kinda disappointed at my first party. It was held in the frat house inside TWO BEDROOMS. I was so shocked to see how many people can actually fit inside a bedroom, let alone party inside one, and I know that me personally, I would never give up my room for a party.  Overall, there were moments where I had lots of fun, but also where I felt really bored.

In conclusion, I didn't let my first college party dictate my perception of all of them since after the first college party I went to, I decided I still wanted to explore more of them. Some of the parties still ended up being just like the frat party I went to for the first time. Others were a lot more fun and gave me hope that I could still have fun at some college parties. After going to the different kinds of college parties that I have gone to so far since the beginning of the school year, I have realized that college parties are a hit or miss; you will either find yourself in one where you're having a good time or you'll just feel like you wasted an outfit over nothing.
