You're in college and underage?
I thought there was that universal rule about college and alcohol? Hell, my roomie actually bought mine when I was in college.
Actually, the university had a bar that was owned and operated by students, and they only cared that you attempted to fake an ID.

I'm under the drinking age. I am legal for just about everything else.

Have you seen 'Long Kiss Goodnight' with Samuel Jackson and Geena Davis?
The Bridge they blow up in that Movie is the 'Peace Bridge', crossing it drunk (Cuz you just came from Canada, Hard Rock Cafe and several other bars in the area), in January, with the requisite snow and ice, could be considered an extreme sport. But I was with friends... who were also plastered, so it was okay. Maybe.
People will bitch. Hey, look up there, we're in the "Things I Hate" forum... LOL, is that not bitching?

It's difficult to argue with your reasoning...

Though drunk friends are universally 'useful' for explaining to the cops what happened after the bleeding stops

Off topic: but that's one of my favorite action movies of all time, especially the finale.

I can't say I saw Clydesdales or swimsuit models in swimsuits in College. Although I did stumble across the Peace Bridge from Canada drunk back to my dorms. I do not recommend this though.
FF VII was slightly bizarre, great story. Actually, all the FF's are slightly bizarre, even my fave, FF Tactics.

OMG O.o tactics was the best. Half of my reasoning for using a PSP is because they released Tactics for it. Granted, a lot of the wording has changed, they talk all medievel-ish but the story is still great. That and the ability to have your own Dark Knights

A lot of people give me guff over walking to college, as if crossing the road twicei s some sort of extreme sport. Then again, they give me guff over wearing sneakers with velcro instead of laces, so, I guess people will bitch about anything...

You don't have to be drunk around them.
My roomie and I holed up in our room and drank there most of the time. Alot of my 2nd year of college was spent drinking and watching Final Fantasy ummmm (insert roman numerals here) the one with Sephiroth.
Very bizarre year that one was... but that's another story.

That would be 7 (VII), the first in 3D and the best one narrative wise I've ever played. However, I would rate playing any of the FF series as roughly as bizzare as interacting with random strangers online in an FPS and/or this site

I hear tha my brother's experience was largely similar to yours as well, when he isn't commenting about how weird it is to live in a 24/7 Budweiser commercial...

I finished highschool two weeks after my 18th birthday, and enrolled in a walking-distance community college with haste, so yeah, about the time I end my 3rd year of higher education (assuming I don't snap and throttle a beatnick to death) I'll be able to drink. And to be honest, I wouldn't want most of these people to be drunk around me anyways...

How are you supposed to stay out at parties too late, drink a little too much, have sex, stay up 'til 3 am gossiping with your roomie at your parents' house? College isn't just about the classes (although the classes are important, of course. )

How did you know my New Year's Resolution?

I mean...*ahem* I am too young for booze. Underage drinking is bad m'kay? *shifty eyes*

I concur. When I went to college, I may have moved in with my sister (at first)...but at least I moved out. When she got married I went over to the dorms. Sure it sucked at times, but I can't imagine going through college living under my parents' roof.

I lived at home while I went to college, and looking back, I think I would have enjoyed myself a lot more had I moved out and gone away to college. There were times during my college years when my parents almost drove me completely nuts. To be fair, though, it usually wasn't too bad when my dad was still working and was usually gone in the evenings. Once he retired, though, it got pretty unbearable, since he's a pretty big control freak (hate to say that, but it's true). Fortunately, I soon went to grad school and moved out.

Children just aren't meant to live with their parents after a certain point, I don't think its healthy for either party to be honest.

Gravekeeper: All I gotta say is different strokes for different folks man.

Eeeh, I'm a bit torn on this one. I have no wish to come across as putting you down. But I personally could not contemplate living the life you do. I was working since I was 12 and out of the house by 18. Not because my parents threw me out but because it was time to move on and grow up.

Part of growing up and living an adult life is learning to deal with said life. Simple as that. I learned more about life, being an adult and myself in the first couple years I lived alone and supported myself then I ever had before or since. To me that knowledge and experience is vital for a person, frankly.

I don't wish to put you down in any way, but I honestly believe you're doing yourself a disservice. Even having your own place that your parents paid the rent on would be preferable. At least you would be on your own and responsible for maintaining the basics of your own adult life and home. You need that space, in more ways then one, to truly grow up.
