I hate bars. Other than actually horrible places [e.g. war zones] it is the worst place I could think to be….in a bar. Ugh. Not only do you see everyone who you never wanted to see again, but you also are forced to meet people who in your life, you’d never want to speak too, ever. As a 21(ish) person, facing at least a decade of hanging out in bars, I am not excited. There must be a better place to go with friends to hang out and have fun, without running the risk of being harassed by 50+ balding men in suits learing at idiot college girls. And then there is the whole subject of the ‘idiot college girl’ and her date ‘frat boy asshole, who wants to suffocate everyone in his A&F cologne’.
My mission, is to think of an alternative place for friendly group gatherings that would repel ‘idiot college girl’, ‘frat boy asshole’, and creepy old man alike. Probably someplace with books. The books repel ‘idiot college girl’ and subsequently her date. And if ‘idiot college girl’s aren’t there, surely there would be no draw for creepy old man. I think I’m on to something here.
