Ever since I entered college and got a fake ID (oh so badass I know) I have been painfully familiar with the bar scene. Dive bars, college bars, trendy Manhattan bars, townie bars, they all have their pros and cons. As a whole I find the bar scene to be excruciatingly annoying necessary evil.
Loud R&B, or nostalgic 80s rock pumping through speakers squeezed into every corner. People packed into every nook with barely any elbow room. Doe-eyed, ditzy bartenders who can't figure out what's in a 7&7. It's really quite a thing to behold.
Unfortunately this habitat is really the main squatting ground for college students and twenty-somethings alike. You go out to bars. You pay 5 bucks for a beer, or you buy a pitcher and drink from tiny plastic cups. You have to scream and scream just to talk to your friend who is five feet away. Thank God it isn't a club, but it isn't slightly far off.
So if this environment is so unpleasant, why do I (and everybody else in my generation for that matter) keep going back week after week, repeating the cycle? Because everybody else does. Now, I'm fully aware that that is a retarded reason, and just because everybody does it isn't a good reason, but what else am I going to do on a Friday night? Sit at home and blog about why I hate girls?
Sure, the bar scene sucks. Sometimes you strike out, on the good days you meet people. Sometimes you get drunk on your ass and can't even remember what kind of night you had (even though in this is the case it was most likely bad, but vaguely remembered as awesome through drunk eyes and missing scenes). Sometimes you get some really great stories, so I guess thats why I do it. I guess I do it, because despite how much I hate the environment, it's better than sitting around. Plus, where else am I going to meet girls?
