Keep reading for what I learned about college parties from my time so far at Temple!
In the movies and the media, the college experience is almost always portrayed through partying and getting drunk. We are regularly bombarded with images of drinking and hooking up.
After my first year of college, I have learned that the media’s portrayal of the party culture isn’t so different from real life. The media has created an elevated social stigma around partying, especially on forms of social media. Sometimes it feels as if partying is the only option for things to do if you want to be “cool.”
Going to parties in college is not something that should be shamed. They can be a great way to meet new people and blow off steam after a long week. I myself have been to several parties before and have had good experiences. I think they are a fun excuse to get dressed up and go out with my best friends.
The goal of this article is to remind everyone to look beyond the scope of partying. Remember that there is nothing wrong with having a night to yourself in your dorm or apartment. Grab a movie and some popcorn and spend the night watching Netflix, or invite some friends over to join you.
There are plenty of alternatives to partying that can still give you terrific college memories. We are lucky that Temple is such a well rounded campus and that it is located in such a vibrant city!
