You’ve been invited to the biggest house party of the season, everything has been advertised and made out to be the ‘you can’t miss this or you will regret it’ party. Will it live up to every ones expectations? Or will it just be named and shamed as one of those try hard parties?
What makes a house party good? Maybe just an excuse to get fucked up on a private property, hook up with all the twelvies and claim not to remember a thing in the morning?
The positives:
- It is BYO, you can legit drink until you pass out, and even then you will still be at the event because there are no bouncers who actually care
- You save money
- More people can go to the event, all ages even under-agers
- More cliques to socialise with
- You can wear anything you want
- Little to no rules, unlike the clubs
- Open space, fresh air
- No legalised curfew
There are many positives, but you also have to consider the negatives.
The Negatives:
- You make a complete fool of yourself because you have no one to cut you off from your drinks (unless of course you have a very responsible friend)
- The traditional over the age people are now swamped by wannabe youngin’s who think they’re old enough to drink, smoke and have sex
- Fights - when you have that many cliques thrown into one backyard, expect fights. No one can get along especially when under the influence of alcohol
- The name calling, and the rumours in the morning; wear something appropriate and don’t hook up with your enemy’s boyfriend!
- No rules might seem like a great and fun idea, but once things get out of control who is here to stop things?
- The majority of house parties put a time limit for people to get in by, and if they think there are enough people causing havoc then you won’t get in! Early arrival or not!
- If you’re not liked by the host, or people have influenced the host not to let you or your friends in, you can’t do anything about it. You have no rights at a house party. No means no.
- The chance of it being shutdown at any time of the night - there goes the fun!
- Underage drinking
There you have it, house parties have now been summarised for you. I know every house party is different, some are great and others are just plain terrible. It is all up to the individual on whether you prefer the clubbing scene or the backyard scene; each to their own.
