<p>I don't usually party in HS, but don't mind doing some of the things with my friends. However, do I have to party to be accepted in college? I will be going next year and I don't mind partying, just wondering if that is needed in order to make friends?</p>
<p>What a looosahh!!</p>
<p>JK. Do what you want, this is a free country.</p>

<p>Not really answering my questions ahah. Shoot I’ll admit it lol, I’m a loosahh!!</p>
<p>It depends on what “scene” you’re looking to be accepted to. If you want to hang out with party animals, then yeah, you’ll be partying a lot. If you want get really involved with a Christian Youth Group, then it’s doubtful you’ll be doing a lot of that. </p>
<p>Find a club/group/sport that interests you, and try to join it. You’ll find friends with similar interests fairly easily.</p>
<p>What about just meeting some people in your class and eventually using that to hang out after school?</p>
<p>Depends on the college. At Swarthmore >1/2 of people don’t party. And I will assure that more than half the campus isn’t ostracized.</p>
<p>Depends on your definition of party. Even the most devout Christians and nerdiest nerds will have parties, but they probably won’t involve 100+ people and kegstands.</p>
<p>^lol your phrasing made me laugh :)</p>
<p>I have seen enough of these posts worrying about having to party to fit in that I assume that there are lots of kids that feel the same way.</p>
<p>I go to a huge party school, and you still don’t have to party to be socially accepted. It might be easier to party to meet more people (and therefore be socially accepted by them) but if you aren’t interested in doing that at all, you really don’t have to.</p>
<p>I go to what could be considered a party school, I guess. Greek life is definitely present, and a lot of my friends party. But then again, a lot of them don’t. I’m not partial to that scene; I’d much rather go to a concert and then get some midnight snacks at a local place and just hang out with the group that isn’t into getting trashfaced on the weekends. You’ll eventually find the crowd you’re comfortable with. It may take some time at first - my first semester was filled with people dragging me to parties, promising that I’ll have a great time, and I just didn’t, whether I drank or not. Maybe you’ll end up liking it, but you don’t have to to have a good time and a lot of friends.</p>
<p>You could also just give off the vibe of being a partier. For instance, stroll into class on Fridays wearing sunglasses and sweatpants with a slice of pizza in one hand and a beer in the other. People will see you and think “man, look at him, he’s so college, we should party with him.”</p>
<p>^ That made me lol.</p>
<p>Depends on who you hang out with and what your goals are. That’s pretty much it. You can be someone who studies a lot and just hangs out with friends in your dorm (which is what I did).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Hahaha, you made my day XD so funny lol</p>
<p>First of all, your tune might change on partying when you actually get to college. A lot of my friends and family members were non-drinkers, and were even opposed to the idea of underage drinking. Then, a month into college, they start doing it, and that was the end of that. So, who knows what’s going to happen?</p>
<p>But, if you’re looking to be accepted by people that party a lot, they’re not going to necessarily find it cool that you DON’T party, but I doubt that would keep them from hanging out with you if you’re friends anyway.</p>
