I think that people also need to get a chance to get away from their usual routine and have a night to go out and enjoy themselves. I have now started a tradition with my friends where we have what I call "Wednesday FUNDAYS". We all work and have very busy schedules; we all do different things going 100 mph every second of the day that we barely get a chance to talk to one another. Wednesdays is a day that all of our schedules have a gap where we have nothing to do and can all get together and chill, party, relax and catch up. We have been doing this for three weeks now and every week our group grows a little bigger. We usually go out to sushi and after we either go to one of our houses and listen to music and catch up or go out into boston and relax.
I hope everyone has a friend or a group of friends that they have the option to do this with! It is worth it to get out and enjoy time with people you are close with and you care about; and these people have respect for you and care about you as well.
It's so much fun to get together with my friends, no night is ever the same. We always start the night with sushi and after that its an open game plan. No one knows what will happen but the night turns out AMAZING! Life is full of beautiful people, i am so lucky to know these people and I hope they feel the same about me.
On a side note, parents put such harsh restrictions on their children; I would know because I still live at home. I know that it is all in my best interest and it is because my dad cares about me, but between working full-time and being a full-time student it gets a little intense and a couple nights out a week are a must. I am now at an age that I can handle myself and the tasks I take on. I am not reckless and I dont go overboard with my outings. It always turns into a battle between my dad and I for me to get a chance to go out. Its not the point of going out that concerns him and I understand him. My dad worries that I will burn myself out and sometimes I do; that's when I cut myself off and take a break. When I say that I am a full-time student I mean that I commute to a University that is an hour away from my house 4x a week. I have a full load with a total of 5 courses. Full-time work is not so easy either; I work about 35-40 hours a week after my hour drive back from school. These hours usually consist of 3pm-11pm when we close. Then I drive home and do homework and sleep for a couple hours and wake up and do the same thing all over again.
Its normal for my dad to worry about me; especially with the type of schedule I have. What can I do? I am like other college students who need money.. I work and I make it work!
Am I wrong to have a couple nights out? Is it wrong to make my dad worry and stress over me being out even though I know that my body isn't tired and I need it so I don's go crazy?
I know there are some parents on here! Tell me what goes through your minds when your daughters and sons go out and they come home fairly late and have so many responsibilities that you worry about how they will even wake up the next morning. Do you doubt them? Do you tell them that they can't go out? Do you trust their decisions because they are the responsible young adults you raised them to be?
People/ college students/ young adults my age still living at home; do you think parents have a tight grip dometime? Don't you think that when you are taking on numerous responsibilities and balancing life fairly well that youcan deal without your parents hovering over you? It gets a little annoying when you are micro managed but what can you do...
MY FAVORITE SAYING THAT NEVER GETS OLD! "MY HOUSE MY RULES"
yup I already got that and understand it....but get my side to. I work so hard every day. I need my fun days where I get to wind down and enjoy time with friends.
What do you guys think?
