Argh. I hate college. I hate being 19 when all my friends are 21. They keep leaving me out and ditching me for bars I can’t get into even though we were supposed to go to the ones I can. I got off work and got ready to go to one tonight, the usual Thursday thing, then when I’m walking to my car in the freezing cold I get a text telling me they are all going to a 21+ bar. Thanks guys. I’ll just wash my face again and take my makeup off, put my pajamas on and hang out alone. No problem that I jsut wasted an hour getting ready and waiting on you guys. You guys have fun. This has happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks. It hurts my fucking feelings.
I need new friends, but it’s not that easy unfortunately. Fuck. Argh. Damnit.
Anyone want to find me a good fake ID or something? Because this sucks ass.
Get new friends! That’s what college is for. Get friends that are also under 21, and don’t need to drink every night or dump one of their friends so they can have a good time.
I’m sitting here shocked that getting into a 21+ bar is a problem for a college student. Most of them I know, and historically this has also been the case, find creative means to get around the 21+ problem.
What are you talking about? This is a Pit Thread, although one that doesn’t belong here. Still, if you don’t like the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Are you always so stupid?
According to your join date, you’ve been here a lot longer than I have. Is it true then that the Pit is for personal rants that no one else could possibly care about?
The way I read it, the Pit is for discussion of the administration of the board, and when you have a problem with other members.
Not getting an underage drinking citation, not getting a DWI, not getting an STD from a drunken encounter, not failing your courses, not ending up wasting your college years, and not ending up with a job you hate will be your revenge.
[sub]Geez, Updike, she’s feeling slighted, left out and lonely. She could use a smidgen of slack, dontcha think?[/sub]
She doesn’t need tea and sympathy. She needs fellow members of the board to share their stories and perhaps give a few peices of advice so that she understands that she isn’t alone and may even find a solution.
However, she also doesn’t need someone coming in here and trying to make out that her problems are insignificant and trivial. There is no need to come in here and make her feel worse. If you felt that this was MPSIMS material, you should have reported the post or perhaps you should have just ignored the thread completely like hundreds of other people seem to be able to do.
I know it’s not that simple, but it does sound like you need new friends. The ones you’ve got are more interested in going out drinking than hanging out with you. Given that, even acquiring a fake ID may not solve the underlying problem.
May I ask where you go to college? It’s possible that there are a few dopers in the area, or at least a few who went there and can suggest places that admit the underaged.
Wow, I just noticed that you are in Columbia, Mo! I’m over 21, but don’t really do the bar thing much. There are plenty of fun things to do that don’t involve bars, if you ever get bored or lonely feel free to look me up.
I feel your pain. I didn’t turn 21 untill my 5th (of 6) year of college.
I passed the time in the evenings in the campus computer labs becoming addicted to…I mean, teaching myself all about…this cool new entity called the internet (this was the mid-nineties), which later evolved into the closest thing to a career that I’ll probably ever have, despite the fact that the BS I got was in Zoology.
On the weekends, to ensure some captive audience time with my friends, I organized hiking and backpacking trips. House parties were also often far superior to bars, and they didn’t require an ID.
I’m not sure what year your in with respect to your studies, but I will caution you that friends (and the celebratory drinks they buy you) can be quickly turned into your worst enemies, even when their intentions are good, when they have to wait for 3 or 4 years to take you out to the bars with them.
Hey Updike, I don’t know whether Xan is stupid or not, but I do know that you are an ass. I don’t see Moderator under your name, so it’s not up to you to make the determination that this thread is in the wrong forum.
What’s with the 21+ only deal? A pretty large majority of the bars in Baton Rouge will set different age limits for who’s allowed in (such as 20 for guys, 18 for girls) then give wristbands for those 21+. Certain New Orleans bars that cater to younger folk do the same). Needless to say it doesn’t take a genius to get past the underraged drinking thing, which of course leads to the aforementioned DWI/STD/dead puppy/fail out of school scenario :rolleyes: .
