I use to blame growing up in such a small town as an excuse to drink on the weekends because there was "nothing else to do". However, as I have turned 21 I have found myself to drink less than I ever have then when I started in high school. Almost 22 now, and really find it as an annoying excuse that really makes little to no sense at all. Really, your wasting your time and your life on something that what.. Can only cause damage than good? Yes, you may throw out a couple dance moves, sing some karaoke, carry on a conversation, or loosen up after some drinks but when does it become too much? Is it just my hometown or do other people find every little excuse or something to bet on to take another shot or get one after the other on drinks? I believe it is anywhere! As I have moved from Ste. Genevieve to St. Louis to Tampa, FL, I have seen it everywhere.
I want to live my life to remember what I did the night before. I want to enjoy a night of bowling with a group of people where drinks aren't having to be distributed and shots aren't encouraged or "forced". I want to go home knowing that the driver is sober, the passengers are safe, and everyone can make it home without passing out or having to stop on the side of the road to throw it all up.
I'm not saying I'm better than someone who chooses to take that shot or drink three or ten more drinks than I do... I'm just saying that I have chosen a new path for myself and really want to enjoy life without a "buzzz". I enjoy my glass of wine every now and then or the occasional beers, but when I go out, I don't have the need to get drunk or feel that shot after shot has to be shoved down my throat every time. Everyone has their own opinions on drinking.. but right now this is my place to blog.. and this is my opinion. You are welcome to comment your opinions.
Life your life to the fullest... with no regrets. Enjoy it! You only have one.
About Me
- kdrury
- I'm from a very small town in Missouri, but moved to Florida in 2009. Growing up I wanted to move to the city as soon as possible, but now being away I have a great appreciation for where I am from. I have learned that there are pros and cons to everywhere. I am thankful for my amazing family. My parents have taught my three siblings and I so much about love, kindness, values, faith, and life in general. I love having three siblings and I hope one day to have a larger family of my own. I have set several goals for myself throughout my life and I hope to achieve every one of them. Currently, I am a senior at the University of Tampa majoring in Digital Art. I plan to graduate in May of 2011 with a Bachelor's Degree. I'm really not sure right now where life will take me once I graduate. It's almost scary to think of. My main goal will be to find a job that suits me, whether it is in Missouri or Florida, I will be fine with either.
My Family
