After college, I started working in the gallery and found myself surrounded by a whole new set of people who had not yet grown accustomed to my antisocial tendencies, who had not yet learned to expect me to say no, and stopped asking.

About This Quote

The truth is, there is a lot of pressure on former college students to continue to socialize and get drunk after they get out of school. I get it, I get it. There is a lot of social pressure for college students to continue drinking and partying the night away, but that doesn't mean that we can't say no. Let's face it, many people don't know when to stop.

If you want to be a professional person and avoid the negative side effects of drinking and partying, try saying no and sticking with it. Don't let anyone else force you to drink or party if you don't want to.
