No, you have been watching too many episodes of "Friends".

Only in the movies. Though I do have a lot of relatives living in the area, and it does seem like they have a party or some kind of social gathering every weekend. It's a way for everyone to stay in touch. I prefer e-mail. Ha, ha!

there's lots of partying in college. if you get forgotten by your friends for not going to parties, then those people weren't really good friends to begin with.

This is not necessarily so. Forgotten is spelled forgotten, not forgetten. True friends aren't just into parties. But, I am not of that age group so I really don't know. I would hope that true friendship goes beyond parties.

It is lifestyle , choice. I rarely visit parties. I do not go to people's party. I prefer to say friend's party instead of people's party.
