Fashionably Late

   No one wants to be too early so that no ones ready for your arrival, but at the same time you don't want to arrive too late so as to insult the host. The best way to avoid this is to find a happy middle ground based on whether you want to be early or 'fashionable late'. There are perks and faults with with both options what you pick is based on your personal style.
   Personally I am not fond of being early. Every time I try to arrive early I end up being too early and I show up before the event started. If you show up too early to an event it can be a tad bit awkward. Your friends probably won't be there yet, and for shy people like me that means standing in a corner for half an hour pretending to be on the phone while waiting for your friends to get there. On the plus side if your friends arrive early as well then you have first dibs on everything. You can play with those balloons before they get crushed, drink the punch before it's watered down from the ice, manage to find a good spot on the dance floor before it's too crowded, and get pumped up with your friends so that by the time guests arrive you feel confident and ready to socialize. If your friends come with you being early can be the best thing ever.
   In order to guarantee your friends already being there or to look cool (it's really not though) some people decide to be fashionably late. For some reason this never works for me either. Either I get lost and end up being extremely late, or I end up rushing, because I think I'm going to be late and then I end up being an hour early. Last semester almost everyday I ended up being the first person to my morning drama class. I tried sleeping in and distracting myself, but it didn't matter what time I left I was always there early. One day I actually showed up late, and I am not kidding you, the bus was late that day and everyone arrived after me. I was late, but everyone else was later. I think time just doesn't like me. Back on track now being fashionably late can be okay and kind of fun as long as you do not exceed 10 minutes. If you are more than ten minutes late it can begin to seem rude.
   Find your own style for parties, whether it's a bit late or early. If you're like me and neither work for you maybe lay off the time travel. I know my timelord nature completely messes up my sense of time I wouldn't doubt that it does the same to you. If you still have your time machine I guess it doesn't matter what time you show up just travel to a different time if you didn't get it right the first time. Good luck and happy partying.

Fun Stuff

If you find yourself bored and have a lot of free time try making a card or board game. Use what you're interested in or a favourite T.V show or author to inspire you. Personally I'm going to make a Doctor Who card game.
