Trust me, drinking and voting is even more boring :) You are in the best time of your life, everybody wants to be your friend, get to know you, look like you.... :) And you can prepare yourself for a good job and a great husband while you help others like homeless people or older people who cant buy groceries anymore - so many who are not as lucky as you are.
Drinking is overrated. if you need to get drunk to have fun with your friends you need better friends. the voting is important but can wait. you're the age where school is very important but you can't wait to be done i bet. but when your older you will look back and miss it, so make the most of it now.
@testbutton: I hate that "if you need" pish. I love a drink but I don't need it to have fun. Would just prefer it to sitting with a fucking fruit shoot.
