Only a little experimentation in high school, but had tons of fun in college! I went to a huge party school, and have some crazy memories. My long term BF and I broke up when I was just about to turn 21, so that probably contributed also! DH and I met post college and partied together our fair share before having LO. Definitely had some great times, but glad to be in this calmer stage of life now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222981 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 14:18:11 +0000 MrsTiz 2222981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes x10. I started much earlier than most do and partied much harder than was appropriate. I've never been a bar/club/dancing type person, I was more of a houseparty type of gal. My sister was a few years older, so when she started getting into trouble she was kind enough to take me with her. We were both too young to be doing what we were doing but I don't regret a second of it! Post kids the wildest I get is drinking wine on a weeknight. #yolo<br /> ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222872 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 13:18:50 +0000 Meridian 2222872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved partying/clubbing from ages 19 - 25. Ahh, those were fun times! We still have a few friends who still party pretty regularly, but we personally haven't been partiers in 10 years now, haha. I feel old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222656 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 11:24:39 +0000 Alivoo01 2222656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. My parents pushed me really hard academically and I had beyond a full load of school work. Never was social and didn't participate in social events. During my summer internship, my now hubby had a goal to corrupt me so he took me clubbing and drinking all the time. I never had a drink till I met him. lol</p> <p>DH is a huge social butterfly and partied like crazy!!</p> <p>We're nervous how to navigate those waters when DS gets a bit older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222650 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 11:18:31 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2222650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of. </p> <p>Didn't drink in HS. Joined a sorority in college but was definitely focused on my classes. DH was in a fraternity and I certainly drank over there many a weekend. But I was never a bar-goer or clubber (even post-college). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222631 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 11:05:10 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2222631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rarely in high school or college but I had some phases of going out a lot in my 20s. We usually just have a couple drinks at home now. I haven't been out for a girls night in years and I haven't really been drunk since before I was pregnant, so over 2 years. It doesn't appeal to me anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222615 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 10:53:58 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2222615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that frequently. I got falling down drunk once and that was enough for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222580 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 10:20:43 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2222580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, in college and in my early to mid 20’s. Most of it was fine, but I do cringe at the thought of a few things. I love to dance, so it’s hard to totally get that out of me. Now I just dance in my living room. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222549 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 10:01:02 +0000 avivoca 2222549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did once when I was 25. The whole get super smashed at a house party thing. That was my first and last hangover. I'm not cut out for it.</p> <p>I did enjoy dancing at the clubs and drinking with friends as an undergrad, but I didn't do it often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222540 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 09:56:41 +0000 Bubbles 2222540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Erm, yes. No regrets though, there's plenty of things Id be a little embarrassed to tell DS - but at the same time I'm glad I'll be able to relate to him if he goes through a wild period, and give him advice based on experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222419 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 08:32:15 +0000 Umbreon 2222419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I was never a partier. I enjoy wine during social gatherings (never before I was legally allowed to), but never get drunk. I've only ever been drunk a handful of times before (less than 5 for sure).<br /> The first and last time I ever went to a club was my bachlorette. </p> <p>It's funny though because my parents are partiers - not anything crazy, but they enjoy their beer and I think they were much bigger partiers than I am at my age. </p> <p>It was just never my thing. I would LOVE it if my kids took after me with that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222418 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 08:31:43 +0000 csross217 2222418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I partied quite a bit during high school and college. I got in with a not-so-great crowd in high school, and we drank and smoked (yuck). In college, I was in a sorority, so I did the frat party thing and usually went clubbing Thurs-Sat. It was a big party school. Luckily, we never got into trouble or in any bad situations, and I'll admit that it was a fun time. My girlfriends and I still like to go out drinking occasionally, but we've definitely toned it down over the years, especially since most of us are TTC.</p> <p>DH used to drink quite a bit with his buddies in college, but stopped partying hard when he decided to become a police officer. He still likes to have a few beers, but he'd much rather stay home. Usually I don't mind, but it's still fun sometimes to go out to the bar with friends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222404 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 08:22:55 +0000 mediagirl 2222404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. Yes. Big time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222368 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 07:52:14 +0000 LuLu Mom 2222368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, starting at a very young age I was a partier. I lived in a small farm town, the only thing to do was drink beer (or so we thought.) I continued well into my 20s, DH and I used to go out pretty much every weekend until we decided it was time to settle down and have kids! I did a lot of stupid stuff but luckily never got into major trouble. Sometimes I wonder how ha! I will say I was the "norm" in my town though, almost everyone I graduated with was doing the same thing. (Seriously 34 of the 51 in my class had drinking tickets by the time we graduated.) By some miracle I wasn't one of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222363 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 07:43:38 +0000 cat620 2222363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: Same here. </p> <p>And when I say I drank in college, it was actually pretty rare for me to get drunk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days/page/2#post-2222334 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 07:10:27 +0000 ms.line 2222334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was dealing with some pretty crippling anxiety and depression when I was in high school and college, so I didn't hang out with other people or party at all - just focused on school work. By the time I started grad school I was able to come out of my shell a bit, and I definitely made up for lost time during my early/mid twenties! I did a LOT of partying when I lived in New York - binge drinking, drugs, cigarettes, etc. Then I met my husband, got married, bought a house in the suburbs, and now I feel super square (especially now that I'm pregnant)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222333 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 07:09:45 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2222333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weirdly, the biggest partying time of my life was law school! Those people can drink. My third year, most people didn't have Friday classes so we had "Bad Decision Thursdays" out at the bars. I think everyone knew it was sort of a last hurrah before real life started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222321 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 06:43:10 +0000 ValentineMommy 2222321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. I had 1 drink in college before I was 21.</p> <p>I did socially smoke for a year or two in the beginning of college, but it didn't last long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222268 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 22:30:22 +0000 LML 2222268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh absolutely, and I don't regret a second of it. And DH and I both partied a lot together after we met and started dating. I'm glad we got to enjoy that aspect of life before having kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222213 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 20:58:38 +0000 MoonMoon 2222213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I agree that I hope my son will know that he can always call on us if he's in any kind of trouble, no questions asked.</p> <p>That being said, I definitely experimented in hs and college, but didn't really go out and socialize much. Now I kinda wish I had! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222195 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 20:30:15 +0000 artsyfartsy 2222195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got in with the party crowd in high school. We threw the parties everyone wanted to go to. I drank way too much and also picked up smoking then (I eventually quit). Looking back though, it was one of the most free times of my life and I wouldn't change anything. </p> <p>We partied some into college but I got over the whole scene pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222160 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 19:58:11 +0000 Greentea 2222160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really controlled/ suppressed/ oppressed in HS, so... yeah! I was one wild child in college! It was a little extreme, but I'm happy to have experienced it and gone through it, because I'm through. Been there, done that.</p> <p>I wasn't a club/ frat party person. I went to a hippy mountain uni and hosted famous parties and was friends with lots of musicians and legendary partiers. Was never into drugs, however.</p> <p>I am glad to have survived! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222158 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 19:56:38 +0000 Mae 2222158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I was pretty much always lame. I mean I did the requisite partying my freshman year of college because thats what you do. But after that I decided it wasn't worth it and did most of my drinking at home :) (I did have friends and hung out with people/drank a good bit-- I just hate parties and bars) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222151 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 19:54:17 +0000 BabyTsMom 2222151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. Was quite sheltered until I graduated from college, actually. I went through a phase in my twenties but nothing really crazy. I do drink now, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222150 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 19:53:03 +0000 lawbee11 2222150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I rarely party these days but I have such fond memories of my high school/college days. Some stories I will share with LO and many I won't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222132 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 19:31:23 +0000 Rocker2014 2222132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, right up until I found out I was pregnant. Pretty hard too, but I'm way too type A to let it impact the rest of my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222122 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 19:14:20 +0000 Anagram 2222122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh yes.....not so much clubs (not really my scene), but all kinds of house parties and bars. Lots of house parties.</p> <p>I definitely did my fair share of experimental stuff, haha. But I was lucky and never had a bad experience or nothing ever happened I didn't want to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222103 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 18:33:37 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2222103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: we're definitely getting a babysitter for a few games this fall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222100 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 18:30:47 +0000 Tidybee 2222100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hotchildinthecity: we camped out on Sundays at a local bar too. Playoffs were the best because we'd go Saturday and Sunday and just watch football all weekend. It was sooooo fun and probably one of the few things of pre-kid life we really really long for </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-party-a-lot-in-your-younger-days#post-2222093 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 18:20:26 +0000 blackbird 2222093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Frat parties didn't even start until midnight lol! I had a blast in college. </p>
