How to be a Party Pooper

We all know that person, the person sitting in the corner of the room at a party and sucking all the energy at it. Although you are trying to get your party on, you can’t help but notice that person draining your energy with their sadness. This group of people are often referred to as party poopers. They are incapable of having a good time and will bring you down with them if you don’t watch out. They want you to be as morose as they are and will not tolerate positivity around them.

If you care to be a Debby Downer as well, you should follow the steps below.

1.) Go out in a bad mood

Sometimes we are having a bad day and think that if we go out it will make us feel better. Going out when you are in a dark place never works because you can never quite shake off the stink of the day. On top of it, your depressing spirits will begin to rub off on the friends you are out with because you won’t let them have a good time. Also, your friends will resent you for ruining their evening.

2.) Don’t socialize with any one at the party

There is no point in going to a party if you are not going to talk to other people. If you sit in the corner talking to your same friend that you talk to every day, you are not making new contacts. You will make yourself look especially bad if people approach you to start a conversation and you don’t engage. Social skills are an important quality so it’s best that you refine yours if you want to survive in this crazy world!

3.) Complain about wanting to leave

Do you really want to be “that person”? That person who is annoying everyone you are with about when they can leave. You decided to go out to suck it up and make yourself have a good time. Everyone has some acting skills so use them and pretend you are having fun and maybe you actually will!

Contrary to the popular song, every party does not in fact need a party pooper. So if you feel the urge to be a kill a joy, make the decision to just stay home so that you are not destructive to yourself and to others.

How to be Cheap

Epic quotes are not just created out of thin air, they always come from truth. So when someone says “you get what you pay for” know that it is no joke and should be taken seriously. The quote means that being cheap will not get you far in life. It may provide instant gratification, but will hurt you in the long run.

To help you understand the severity of being frugal, I have provided a list below of things that are NOT acceptable to be cheap with.

1.) Waxing and things pertaining to your face

For reasons that should be blatantly clear, you should not be try to find a bargain when getting waxed or getting a facial.

I learned this the hard way when I thought it would be a good idea to get my eyebrows waxed at the nail salon. I had burns across my eyebrows for a whole week! I looked like I had some type of tribal markings embedded in my face. It was so not cute!

2.) Hair products and styling

Hair is a very crucial part of your appearance. If your hair is jacked, so are you! So don’t go get a five dollar hair cut. Splurge a little and spend an extra few bucks because it will be worth it.

3.) Events you are inviting others to

I was once invited to a party. I excitedly accepted the invitation but my enthusiasm quickly diminished when I was asked to contribute money towards the alcohol, food, transportation and entrance into the venue. I was basically being asked to throw the whole damn party myself! I then declined the invitation because of the lack of refinement this party would have if everyone had to pay for it. It also made me judge my friend. So don’t ask your friends to pay for your finances!
 
                                       

Don’t get me wrong here; I understand that in this economy we have to cut back on some of our expenses. But you should not be frugal at the expense of your health, looks or your reputation. So get it together!
