How did peoples Graduation night's go?

Suaimhneach

Mine was mad!!

It was in Zanzibar, but all they were playing was house, so after like 3 hours of it, we all moved to Spirit, which I wasn't mad about but sure, it was a good night in spite.

All the cool teachers were there! And everyone got plastered! Twas enjoyable.

Mad, but enjoyable.

stuey

were you in the zanz last night?

Suaimhneach

Until about 12.30-1ish.

We were the crowd upstairs.

Were you yourself?

stuey

were were upstairs as well. were were the guys in the 2 couches nearest the cocktail bar, which was closed . It wasn't that busy at all. We practically had the dancefloor to ourselves. I got so locked and bought everybody drinks and just had an absoultly fantastic nite. do you go to tempelogue

Suaimhneach

Cool. Lol, I think I met one of you lads in Spirit.

lol...weird.

Edit/Oh Colaiste de hÍde, the irish school. We were sat opposite you lot.

stuey

what did he look like. did he have long blonde hair or I was he a very tall guy in a suit but with no tie

Suaimhneach

No, not the blonde guy. And everyone had shirts and ties on!! Lol...em. I'll pm you or something, not gonna discuss it on an open forum!!

My Grad was last week, did absolutely nothing, had no money nor fake I.D :dunno:

Well my old schools graduation was on Wednesday.. and me being me I spent about 50 quid out clubbing etc. Today was my present school's graduation... I went in for 3 pints but have no money to crack onto all the chicks I fancy/think are cute/would settle for tonight.

subway_ie

Ours was ok, nothing amazing. Went out to a few pubs (well, the six of us that had ID anyway... fake or otherwise) and to a club afterwards, home about 3am. Bit of an anti-climax really.

got arrested at 11, great nite previously tho!

I hear down in Kerry some 17/yo youngwan is pressing charges of rape/sexual assault.

Sounds like a healthy LC party to me !

subway_ie

Hmmmmm GoneShootin, your idea of a healthy party doesn't involve snuff by any chance?

Christ above, e50! On my graduation night in 1988, I took £5 with me, and drank 2 glasses of lucozade (had £2 change which I returned to my father). I was too busy dancing with my friends (I suppose we had better music then) to worry about getting pissed! That was the norm then. Nowadays you must only be concerned with getting drunk and not remembering what happened the night before. Nobody seems to dance anymore, or even try to have fun without consuming vast quantities of alcohol. Young people nowadays have TOO MUCH money. Don't know what your opinion is on this, but I think it's terrible.

stuey

kelle you think that above e50 is bad. On thursday night at my grad night we went to zanzibar and i spent e150 buyin everybody drinks. It was fantastic best night ever. And I dont believe with your statement that you have to be locked in order to have a good night out. I didn't start drinkin till i was 18 and i had a great time before when i had no drink on me

GoneShootin

Same here stuey. I didnt start drinking till the graduations either. I only get hammered maybe twice/three times in the year for those post exams or otherwise special occasions. BUT there is a chronis drink problem with the youth in this country.

Still, LC drinking of the graduation is almost a rite of passage....

Well, it cost all of us €27 euro just to get into the club (bus, entry, coat check), thats without even having a drink, which were all at least €4. Rip off? Yes. *BUT* it is the last time I'm ever going to see or go out with some of those people, so it's definetly worth it. Just wait for the debs, thats when it's gonna get expensive. Haven't even found anybody to ask yet...

Graduated last year, didn't drink on my graduation at all. How a really great night. I drink my heavies when I'm with ****. Otherwise I'm having to much fun.

Fast_Mover

the 6th yrs in our school, had their graduation last thusday wk.
they were all dressed up for the mass and then went into town in hired buses with the teachers. they went clubbing and had a great time i believe,all college stundents wer out too...place was packed!
a teacher who went out with them said2our class the next day that all the 18yr old girls wer handing their passports back to the non18yr olds with help from other teachers2 and the bouncer jst briefly lukd at them and went...ya da grand, knowing that it wasnt them in da pic@all.

me however, only a year2go......

stuey

Im very lucky in that the people i go to school with/go out with are all very sound. there is only about 3-4 **** in the whole year. Everybody else is bang on. I've never had to drink just cause im out with a bad crowd of people i dont like

Kold

well yes, id rather spend 50quid on drugs and not alcohol but i thought alcohol would be more appropriate

Im in 5th year at the moment and my friends in 6th year, I did transition year, most didn't, are going out on Monday night for their grad night. I am in two minds about going. I want to, but it could end up crap because most of the people are knackers and my close friends will be interested in talking to them all night just to feel cool or whatever. Also I have Geography and Irish tests the following morning.

Im also fighting with my best friend, and I think that it would not go down well if I went along

The debs will be the last time I get to go out with all my classmates though, that should be fun.

kelle

Okay, I accept I was being a little too harsh. It only cost £3 to go to my local nightclub from 1985-1989 (I moved to London then), and there was no cover charge into any pubs. I'm panickng at the thought of how much it'll cost for my two toddlers to go out when their time comes!
I didn't start drinking until I was 22, but even though I had a very well paid job I found I couldn't really afford to overindulge.
I work in a hospital and I hate when I'm up all night Thursday, friday, Saturday AND Sunday nights dealing with f&*king drunks who won't co-operate for their examinations! That's why I get ratty when I hear of people constantly getting plastered.
Enjoy your graduation!

stuey

kelle i can understand ur frustration. I've been insured on my mums car for since october now and i've been driving people everywhere and havin a great laugh. but i know what its like to be tired and have a whole pile of people around you who are sh*t faced and be givin them lifts home. its different for me cause I got along with the people i give lifts to. you have to deal with all the random drunks

subway_ie

You're very brave/stupid stuey... driving a car full of **** faced people home late at night isn't always exactly "safe"...

stuey

I know. Its all a bit of fun tho. Im just enjoying my last ever year in secondary school as best i can.

kelle

Good on you, Stuey, I'm full of admiration for you. And i'd say your friend's parents are so relieved to have a resposible young man like yourself driving them home. God, I sound like your own mum, and I'm only 33 (aargh, ONLY!, and to make it worse I'm 34 on June 8th).
Stuey, i'm so glad you're enjoying your final year in secodary school, but college/university will be even better! And (generally) your drink will be subsidised so it won't be as hard on your pocket.

stuey

Thanks a lot Kelle. Im actually just home from givin a whole pile of friends a lift home from a free gaf i was at. . I have 3 rules to life, kelle that keep my buzzin all the time and i've mentioned them so many times on the forums to spread the word. they even keep me going durin the leavin cert.
1. Choose your attitude. dont let the situation you in choose your attitude
2. Play
3. Make there day.

I've lived by them for 5 months now and i've never been happier at any moment in my life.

your drink will be subsidised so it won't be as hard on your pocket

I've never even thought of that. its going to be great

and to make it worse I'm 34 on June 8th

growin up cant be that bad. just do things that make you and the people around you happy and you'll be laughin till ur 80

Went to "The Orchard" (a local pub) with about 10 other people and had a great laugh there for a few hours, then i foolishly decided to head into town.

I grabbed a taxi at about 1:30am, and was supposed to meet up with a few ppl in zanzibar (or however you spell it) but i ended up going to feckin Spirit, which was feckin ****E!

I really regret not going to zanzibar, as i left spirit after about 45 mins and headed home, as it was (in my opinion) a pile of great big *****.

Still, the orchard was a great laugh.

hoho, you old comedian you.

My grad night was okay. We went to a nearby hotel and had a disco thing. The doormen were nazi's and randomly kicked people out or wouldnt let them back in after they went out for a smoke. They also stole what was left of my drink. Bastards.

Kold

Surely they had their Bouncer license number thingies on their coats?

AndrewWK

I don't think so. Didn't look tbh
