I have never felt that awful on a Saturday night before. This was the Saturday before Halloween, so this was the biggest night to go out and do things, but unfortunately I had no costume. I missed out on the biggest party of the year, and just felt awful about it. So basically I had a costume at a friends house, but for some reason, decided to leave it there, just out of fear of having "too much stuff" in my backpack... (Really regretting this decision). So then comes Saturday, but I wasn't counting on doing anything. Then I look on facebook, and see a big event for the night and a lot of people I know going (on the going section on the facebook event page), then think wow! I want to go to this! But, not only did I not have a costume, but I wasn't invited. Sure I could just crash it alone, but I really dislike going to parties alone, it makes me feel like a loner and creep. So I called up my friend who it was going, and kind of slyly asked what she was upto tonight, hoping she would mention this party and that I should go with her. She just says she's meeting up with some friends and that's it, so I just say oh. ok. and that's that. I felt really hurt, because I feel for some reason she didn't want me to be at the party. So then I say, forget it. I'll just stay in tonight, if no one wants me to be anywhere tonight. So then later I walked across town in my hoodie with the hood up, looking for parties that I wouldn't actually go to. Yes I know this is creepy, but I usually just end up doing it, just to see what I'm missing out on I suppose. And I walk by this party, and wow. I really wish I were going it. So then I go back home, and I get a call from her telling me I should come over to the party. Well this would be wonderful, except... I don't have a costume. Just great. And this was a costume-required party. Plus I wouldn't want to go to any party that night without a costume, because of that awful isolated feeling of being the only one at a costume halloween party in regular clothes. So I just say well... sorry. I don't have a costume to her. And that's that. All over town, people were running around drunk in costumes, and here I was in my room, browsing youtube and facebook all night, kicking myself for leaving my costume at her house (and intentionally!) when I could have just easily brought it home in my backpack. I don't mean to promote drinking or anything, I really don't, but this would have been the perfect night to get drunk in a costume and just have fun. No school the next day or anything. Plus I'm sure I would see some of the girls I liked at this party, plus in general just a chance to meet girls, as I am a very lonely soul in college. And for actual halloween on Wednesday? Well, can't really do much because the next morning at 8am I have a chemistry lab EXAM. So no fun that night. I don't know how to say it, I just simply don't own costumes. Mostly because I can never think of anything original, but seriously I would have put on anything just to go to that party... I'm just glad the night is over, but the feeling of how much I missed out on last night is just getting to me...

I'm sorry you missed the parties. I remember feeling like that -- feeling regret for having missed parties due to my own neglect or having had forgotten something that was needed in order to go.

But just think -- you'll be CLEAR HEADED for your Chemistry exam! You won't be all hung over, and feeling crummy from little sleep. That's a BIG plus. Your school work is worth more than some silly party. You may not think so right now, but later you will.

There will be plenty of parties later on that you CAN go to -- so this isn't the only one. I'm sure there will be parties right before Christmas break, etc. So don't worry. You'll have more opportunities.

Take care and I hope you did well on your Chemistry exam. God bless. Hugs, Lee

I'm sorry, but there will be other parties. Halloween comes around every year remember...and there are ALWAYS parties. I know I have had my fair share of sucky halloweens where my 'friends' decided to all go out and have fun and go to parties and 'forgot' to invite me. I can totally relate. But try not to dwell on it too much. Next time, just have a party for yourself...rent scary movies, buy candy or popcorn...so on the off chance you dont have plans, you dont feel like you totally missed out. Besides, there are still chances to have fun.....Halloween isnt till Wednesday!
