If you're a man from the 80's why do you say "turn up?".
Be real you weren't the man...

If you have a favorite rapper that's a silly question to have, 9/10 we're in the same age group, or they're older. Including Lil Wayne and Kanye.
And no, I am being real, I was REALLY that guy in my 20's. Serious.

OP is nomad, so well you know....

what is the point of being so regimented in the things you do at some time in your life at age 18, party at 21, party at 65, who gives a ****

You're going to die anyway so you should enjoy what you want while you can. It sounds narcissistic but whatever.

Never been a fan of partying.

I've always been inclined to just chill with the ladies...

Go hoop...

And chill at the crib.

Does that make me beta?

I never had that "college experience" since I messed up hard in high school. Around this time (2005) as well, my father opened up a restaurant so I made the decision to stay and help out while my sister was just graduating from nursing school and on her way to SF to be a travel nurse.

I went to a couple parties because my friend went to a party school from 05-09 but I swear I just had this epiphany or something when we were at some crappy frat party in a basement. I was just chilling and drinking a beer when someone stepped on my sneakers. I was a little salty about that but just played it off. About 10 minutes later, some drunk ***** spilled beer on my shoes and I just lost it. I couldn't do that stuff anymore. It was also different for me as well because I started smoking weed around 7th or 8th grade and my heavy drug use was from the ages of 18-21. Weed, coke, ecstasy and liquor were the fantastic four during those 3 years of my life. I was messed up mentally and emotionally. These kids were just pulling on their first blunt or drinking their first beer so I didn't knock them on that. I was called "grandpa" because they thought I didn't know how to have fun but I had already done what they were just starting to do.

My life really changed in 2010 because I transferred to a university from a community college. I dedicated my life towards school and work. I was never the one to stay stagnant or wait until I graduated college to get a job. I was fortunate enough as well that my employer understood what I was trying to do with my life and they worked with me in regards to the hours. In 2011, I got promoted with even better hours to start work (7am) and that really helped me a lot. I was around 24 at this time and I really had a bad time because I felt that I was doing nothing but working, going to school and sleeping and it just sucked. I was tired. But I would say to myself "what would you rather be doing? stay home and watch tv or go to class and check out the sexy women?" That really motivated me and I never missed a day of class during my time there.

I'm 27 now and I would like to go out more but I don't have much friends and the people I do know are either getting married; having kids or in a serious relationship with someone. I would like to find someone but I am also liking the single life as well as all I do is work now. I still live at home at the moment but I support my family and my mom and dad aren't really much of my parents anymore. They're more like roommates now since I am never home and they are both working as well but just part-time. I'm the "breadwinner" of this household and I take great pride in supporting them.

It just sucks when your parents have a better social life than you. They stay going to the casinos and concerts and my mother is always going out to lunch with her friends. What am I doing? Working.

I partied hard in college and a bit afterwards

I regretted ruining a couple relationships along the way, some of the decisions I made but...

now in my early 30's I don't regret a thing, it was important to go through that stage in my life to get where I am now and I am truly happy but if I tried to be a mature adult at 25 then my life would be a lot different today.

^^Same Fontaine...never liked partying or bars. Never went to college.matter of fact I know I have a mental disorder but Idgaf.. Not social at all.

I don't know, I felt bad a while back but I've come to realize that I'm entering a whole nother stage of development. I don't know, New York is different but the older crowd whether married or single still goes out and parties. But it's usually at bars and pubs, concerts for our favorite bands, rappers or Dj's, meet ups etc. I look at these college kids these days. They don't do it like WE DID IT.

They're more tame, docile, faux-90's-hipsters, quasi-rebellious. It's truly sad.

80's babies defined what it meant to party...house party, club party, beach parties, frat parties (they actually suck though), we did it BIG! 



If you never partied to this in a packed joint, full of all types of females,  with a nice booty rubbing against your joint, or flying down the street in a tuner car with a bad female, you didn't LIVE in the 00's. 









....man, now you got me in the feels

Surprisingly I was depressed as hell when I turned 25

But 30 didn't bother me one bit

25 now...My glory years was from about 18-22..I had my daughter when I was 21 and that made life slow allll the way down because I was trying to do the family thing for a minute but it didn't last long. I had a lil resurgence after that but **** pop up in life that will force you to sit back down. I did a lot of **** in my younger days but I truly feel like the best is yet to come.

Partied pretty hard in high school.

Parties, Raves, etc.

Now I'm 29, I can't imagine being in that kind of scene again.

damn homie, your kids tho?

I'm 24 and I think I went pretty hard whenever I partied but I'm confused as to why you old geezers think we didnt go as hard as you guys? Especially how you guys only mentioned it and didn't back it up with examples or logical reasoning behind it.
If you think about it, nowadays drugs are way more accessible and more acceptable than it once was, I don't get how we didn't do as much you guys did? Someone please enlighten me. I feel like this is a clear example of how people just have pride for theirs and think down on those who came after them.

I'm 19 with a pretty solid career making double than most of my friends. Missed out on College life and such, but that wasn't for me. Never partied too crazy in high school cause my old man was somewhat strict. I'm happier than ever which is funny cause just a couple months ago, dying wasn't that bad. What I do miss more than anything is that butterfly feeling I used to get with chicks in middle school and even like freshman year. Don't feel anything for any chicks like that.

The temptation to blow a bunch of money and alcohol and women is high, but I'm gonna try to stick to property and investments.

I have regrets, I try to not think of them and keep it moving. No problem falling down as long as it's in a forward motion.

Maybe I should have partied more. Ignorance is bliss NT.

damn I just caught that

Zap, is 19 a typo?

Well, I had a pretty boring life. I'm 27 years old and I must admit that being sheltered coming up really brought and effect on me. I will admit, I could change it, but I have such an old soul. I'm very reserved and people tend to not grasp by that. Maybe it's fear. I didn't do a lot in my 20's so far. I didn't go away for college, but i just commuted there and back.

i dont drink but ive been blowin trees since 22 and im never gonna stop. i only smoke like 3 times a week on average anyway

never say never...you could get lung cancer and have to stop^

Damn, this is depressing. I appreciate the honesty though.

No but I honestly think I'm going to start going out to late night spots more often. Started too actually.

Never been a party every weekend type of guy but life's too short to not indulge once in a while. I'm 25 for the record. I wanna say I did it before too much time passes and I'm saying I wish I did.
