Finally this week ends
Really glad it's Friday. I cannot wait to come home after work today and just catch up on my shows and relax. I've had school, or appoints, or dinner every night this week. Anyway, Friday thread time.
So, in one of my classes, we are talknig about adolescent psychology and what is going on in their bodies and brains when they are teenagers. And we started talking about how teens have this "invincible" belief, that nothing can happen to them, and thats why they do dumb things. Some people started sharing some of the stupid things they did as kids, and I thought it'd be fun for us to share too.
Anything you did as a teen that you look back and think "oh my goodness, what a dumb@$$, wtf was I thinking?"

Re: Finally this week ends
On New Year's Eve when my best friend and I were in high school, we went to a party at a friend's and ended up stinkin' drunk. One of our guy friends there was supposed to drive us back to her house later that night, but he ended up drunk too. Her parents were expecting us home by 3 a.m., and we started to freak out because there was no one at the party to take us home. So, in our infinite drunken teenage wisdom, we decided that walking 5 miles back to her house in 8 inches of snow was a better alternative to calling her dad to come pick us up. Fortunately, JUST as we were walking out of the house, my boyfriend at the time called (he was old enough to drive and he was sober) and offered to pick us up.
^^^Idiots, for sure.
Planning Bio
I grew up in a small town/backwoods area in the Ozark Mountains. There are lots of hills and you are hard pressed to come up with a straight road anywhere. There was a particular spot on the road to my bff's house that if you went over it fast enough gave you that weird, weightless feelings that's kind of fun. My senior year, I picked up my friend and we worked up the nerve to do it super fast and in reverse. The rush gave us a high that didn't wear off for a week! But I see that dip in the road now, looking at it from an adult perspective, and it terrifies me. I could have easily killed us both and anybody else in other cars who happened to come by. I guess it's true God watches over little children and fools ...
