Remember when you were in college and...

kristylynn

didn't go out until after 10pm, because any earlier the bars would be dead and stupid?? 

I have to work tonight, and get done after 10, and at that point, it is so hard to find people to DO STUFF.

buckeyechik

lol  Totally.  Only I can't actually stay awake until 10 anymore.  It's sad.  When we do stuff on the weekends, if I'm not asleep by 12 or 1, I'm dragging ass in a major way the next day, no matter how late I sleep!

LOL ah yes. I"m doing that tonight though. I'm going to happy hour from 6-8:30 then out to a club from 9 to 3am!!!! I'm going to totally let lose!

I'm usually in bed by 8:00.  I live on the edge, I'm telling ya!

angiesue_234

LOL!  Yes!!! 

I would feel so strange going out at 10pm now.  If I'm out past midnight anymore I start to worried about needing to go home and go to bed.  Jeez, I feel old.

playindagamewell

funny part is my husband didn't go "away to college" and never lived the crazy college kid life

Ahhhhh ~ good times.

That guy is SO checking you out.
You think so?
Just keep dancing & we'll pretend we didn't notice him.
OMG! He smiled at me.
He thinks we're both hot.
Ugh, somebody just spilled their beer on me.

Danica1

mrsjennosu

I have taught my students this big elbow swinging dance, so that when they are on the dance floor they can make room for themselves.  I have received reports that it has actually been used and worked!

Of course, it is being used at the trashiest 21 and UNDER clubs on Teen Night.  Word has it, they had to institute a "90 Degree" rule (can't bend over past 90 degress when someone is behind you dancing) and a panties rule, as in you have to wear them. 

So not the same!

Woah, Kristy- did I read that right? Gross! I can't even imagine.

As to your original post... DH and I took a vacation near Miami in December. We went to a club while we were there. We got there at 10 because that's about the right time here in Columbus. Wrong! They don't even open until 10:30. And they didn't close until 5am! DH and I are so old that we were ready to leave at midnight... just as the club started getting busy.

Ah, those were the days. Actually my recollection is not going out until at least 11pm because it just wasn't cool to go out any earlier. And I went out every single night. Literally - every night. I don't know how I had the energy. Now I think I might be able to go out once every couple weeks and the earlier we get there the better, because that usually means I get to leave earlier and go home to sleep. I hate getting older.

Ahh, those were the days. And of course sleeping in until noon!

Now if I want to go out and stay up late my kids still wake me up at 7am. Now if only I could send them to grandmas for the weekend.

LittleHowell

I don't really miss staying out super late.  I enjoy sleeping more than most other things.

DH and I went to dinner with friends last weekend and we all decided to get a drink afterwards at a bar. I think it was about 10pm when we got there and we were all ready to leave after one drink because we were all tired - DH was actually nodding off at the bar...we're so lame

PrincessRock

Ah, the good ol' days. Back then I could go out with $20 in my pocket. That would take care of my drinks, a pack of smokes, a cab home and a swing through the Taco Bell drive-thru. Wow!

We're pretty lame now too....and were even before Maisie came along. In fact, I don't remember 1 single night of our honeymoon that we stayed up past 11pm. Amazing what a few short years can make!!

Adjudi-Kate

HAHAHA 90 degree rule!

You guys are cracking me up.
