The other day a friend of mine asked me "do you think you'll ever stop?" The question is what was this friend referring to? I can simply tell you or I can make references to what this person was saying and leave the issue at hand to your imagination. Hell, I could be addicted to cocaine or even better sex. Unfortunately, I just wasted your time with those tiny scenarios because I am going to tell you that this friend of mine was referring to my "party animalness". It brings up a good question, is the party supposed to stop after you graduate? I think not. </p>
<p>Sure there are a lot of negative things associated with the party culture: being immature, reckless, etc. Those stereotypes should be left with underage undergraduate drinking. I believe that as you mature you can learn to party in a more respectful manner. One, in which you learn to gracefully ride a bicycle  while you are completely blasted. I, in fact, can do this while riding a full grown man on the handle bars. You know graduation is not the death sentence to the party. It merely signifies that you must control the aforementioned subject. For example it is not unacceptable to get drunk on a random Monday afternoon (I learned this the hard way, I also learned that no cop expects to see a drunk driver at three in the afternoon) its just not okay anymore because after college you are held to higher standards (unfortunately). Ultimately you have to stop partying when you have a kid and even then its just a hiatus until they are old enough to partake in the grape (drink) with you. The fact that you may reproduce one day is reason enough to continue the party after you graduate because you do eventually have to stop (unless you're an alcoholic). Speaking of alcoholics, that old saying "its not alcoholism till your out of college" is kinda true so you might as well live it up while you are young and your responsibility is at an all time real world low. I think its is important to keep hold of the party you know it keeps you young by letting you let loose and get rid of the stress. I genuinely feel that if you were to stop the party you would become depressed and might endanger yourself. Why am I trying to convince people to party? It seems as if the only thing that makes me happy is alcohol (because it is). The message is clear don't stop partying cause I sure won't.
