Friday nights are supposed to be highlights in a teenagers life. I, being a teenager in age, but not mind, was dreading this last Friday night. I had made an obligation to one of my oldest friends that I would come to her house party. So despite my overwhelming want to go home and cuddle in with a cuppa tea and a serial killer book, I got off work, had a 2 second shower and made my way to her place.
This friend of mine happens to be 4 years older than me. So as we were growing up, she basically corrupted my innocent little mind. She was the first person to get me drunk(I was 12 at the time), and we would have bets on who had the balls to hold onto firecrackers the longest. She is one of the only people that can bring out that inhibited side of me where I just don’t care and really relax. That being said, whenever I party with her, I end up drinking like a fish.
Anyway, the party. After plenty of Jell-O shots, beer pong(with Pornstars for me, until I couldn’t taste the beer), and jagger bombs, I was wasted by 9 o’clock. That is how you make an excellent impression at a party when you know no one. Also, don’t pass up the chance to suck helium and rap/slur with Eminem. Another great way to make an impression? Decide to go outside and sober up but forget to open the door. I opened the glass patio sliding door, and managed to completely rebound off of the screen door and fall on my ass. It was pretty hilarious, I’m not going to lie. At least I know I’m not the only idiot to have ever done that before.
Even in horribly embarrassing myself in my drunken escapades, I managed to have a good time, and not be horribly hungover in the morning. Water saves lives, friends.
*Obviously, these are not excellent ways to make a good impression, but it does make for a rather fun night.
We’ve all been there. Keep your chin up.
