the awkward years

It seems as though there is never anything fun to do when I am home from college. At a certain point the movies, mall, and bowling alley just won't cut it anymore and only so much food can be consumed.

What's an 18-20 year-old to do? GO DANCING!!! Oh wait--you don't have a fake? Me neither. I don't even know where to get one. Plus getting caught using a fake isn't really worth facing the consequences.

I understand that bars and clubs have 21+ age limits because of alcohol, but it really isn't fair. "College nights," 18+ parties usually held on Thursdays, are awesome, but what about Fridays and Saturdays? All I want is a legitimate nightclub that is always 18+. Many nightclubs have multiple party rooms; why don't they make one of them 18+ and keep the others 21+ so they can still make revenue off of drink sales? There is a string of college bars by my house in Long Island, NY, and they're always 18+ (they're open Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday) but it's basically a frat party in a bar--just a lot of grinding music and creepers. There are no places to sit and no coat check. All I ask for is a classy place to dance with my girls. I don't need or want the alcohol; give me some house music and I am high as a kite.

NY is pretty good with 18+ nights, but Boston, the biggest college town, is terrible. After 1.5 years there so far I have not found one 18+ club. WHAT IS WITH THAT? If you know where the 18+ clubs in Beantown are at, let me know. I will be eternally grateful.
