Whose fun is it anyways?

My friends, I hope you will pardon that my post is coming a day later than it suppose to. Although, I do have a good reason! And it incorporates into what I already wanted to talk about: I was having fun.

In two the blogs other I've written, I've always done at least one post on fun. Which makes sense right? Having fun is such a huge part in our lives, especially in our 20s when we just deemed it the decade of exploring, discovering, and contemplating the vastness of the universe.

The first post I wrote about fun, was about how fun comes in all shapes and sizes. It was cute, for an out-of-state freshman at a new university who had no friends. I was trying to justify why I wasn't going out to parties. Now I'm a junior, I have friends, and I go to parties, but the funny thing is, I still kind of agree with little ol' freshman Felicia.

I really do believe there are different ways to have fun! And I don't really like how society prescribes drinking as the best way for college kids/20-somethings to have fun, but being a freshly turned 21-er, I know that's definitely a way to have fun. Let's do a case study:

Last Friday night, I spent in my bed, catching up on TV shows, eating spaghetti. I was asleep by 11:30pm.

Last Saturday night, I spent in my bed, doing homework (!), eating butterfingers. I was asleep by 1:37am, only because SNL was moved to 12:00am because there was some West Texas Telethon on at the normal time slot.

Here's the best part: I was actually having fun doing all of that! There were moments that I would think to myself "Wow, this is actually really fun. I feel bad that I don't feel bad for not going out tonight."

Let's continue:

Tuesdays and Thursdays are my favorite class days. It's all about musical theater and dancing. I start out TA-ing Natasha's beginning Musical Theater Dance class, then I go to French, then back to take Natasha's advanced Musical Theater Dance class, THEN, we have rehearsal for our Spring Musical Theater Performance. We did tap this week, and it was so fun. The sweat was dripping down my neck, the endorphins were pumping, and the smile on my face was huge.

Then yesterday, after my last class, the sun was shining, the air was perfect, and I set out to sit on the beautiful south mall with my friend Caleb and write this blog about fun. But you know what happened? I had fun. I'm sorry y'all! We ended up talking and our friend Paige stopped by and we talked even more. She made us laugh and laugh and laugh. Our cheeks hurt from laughing so much. Then last night, my friends and I stopped by three parties and had a blast!

So guys, here we are. This was more like a recap of my week and had way less pop culture references than I wanted it to. Let me just say this: there really is more than one way to have fun! Don't feel bad about how you like to have fun, unless it's kicking dogs or telling little kids Santa doesn't exist. Don't do that. But as long as you're happy, you're having fun the right way.

It's only cheesily appropriate to end with this quote, from the people who know fun best:

"Tonight, we are young, so we'll set the world on fire, we will glow brighter than the sun." -fun.
