Story of every clubber’s life: having to come up with a way to nicely let down that guy who’s damn persistent. I like to call them ‘stage five clingers’, and I believe that should become an actual dictionary term because some people can be overly obsessive. Stage five clingers will usually shower you with ridiculous pick-up lines and wreak of desperation, and their clinginess knows no bounds.
People usually meet new people through school, university, work, nightclubs, bars, social media, etc; the list could go on for ages. We live in a diverse world and most of us like to expand our horizons and make new friends, which can be very exciting and fulfilling. Some people are shy and may find it more difficult to reach out to other people, so I have accidentally stumbled upon probably one of the most bizarre ways to make friends.
So have you ever felt the need to add fuel to the fire to see how big the blaze can get? Ever seen the stern look on a security guard’s face and felt the need to try get a reaction out of him/her? It’s like trying to get a reaction out of those soldiers with the big black bearskin caps; it can be funny in a totally disruptive way, yet you don’t think about the consequences until you poke too much and cop what you deserve (uh oh!).
Is there an expected age to stop clubbing?
Okay, we all reach that stage when we get over the whole clubbing scene (well most of us!), whether it’d be in our early to mid 20s, late 20s to early 30s, or even at the rare age of 18 where you go out once or twice and then decide the party scene is just not for you.
Nightclubbing is meant to be a fun outing every week for young adult to go out and let their hair down and have fun. However, nightclubs are commonly seen as places to meet people or ‘hook-up’ with someone new. Does this mean that if you are in a relationship that clubbing could be off limits? Or should you club as a couple?
What a burst of fruitful flavours and inspiring colours this weekend’s Gold Coast Food and Wine Expo was. Seeing so many uniquely traditional businesses all showcasing their talent created the feeling of tranquillity, or maybe it was just all the wine tasting that creating a bubbly atmosphere. The event consisted of 3 days of gourmet food, wine and celebrity chefs. The event was described as a food fantasy and an explosion of tastebuds by various people that attended the event on Sunday morning.
When you’re out hitting the clubs, there is nothing worse than getting followed around by a guy that is nice, but way too keen. If you are not interested in him and you try to drop a few hints but nothing works, than there is a full-proof way to ensure that you don’t waste your night dodging a guy. This method is also a great way to deter guys from you when you are in a relationship and just trying to have a good night out with the girls.
Sometimes instead of going clubbing, I’m looking for a fun and varied Saturday night. Yes, I love dancing, but occasionally I get sick of sweaty strangers rubbing up against me all night. I still want to go to the city, but I want to do something fun instead of going clubbing or even before going clubbing. Seriously, why does no one want to do anything fun when they’re drunk anymore?! They’re all getting lazy!
There is nothing more annoying when you’re keen to let loose on a night out, but there’s that one friend who’s always wearing that I’d-rather-be-anywhere-but-here expression. It always puts a downer on the evening when one friend doesn’t seem to be having any fun. So ladies and gents, here’s how to keep your friend out past 10pm and have a wicked night!
When we were underage, a house party was the coolest thing to go to, because obviously there was no where else you could get blind drunk. It was cheap, we could pass out wherever the hell we liked and we wouldn’t get denied because our shirt didn’t have a collar.
