Don't hop off the family party wagon just yet...

Hey guys! Kathy here. Is it me, or are family parties always so..idk BORING?! Especially when you come from a Hispanic family like I do. These days they find any excuse to throw a party. "Oh ya'll broke up? passed your road test? got a dog? gather the family, because we are throwing a party!" Now don't get me wrong, I love my family and I love celebrating but when you're the only "young adult" surrounded around your parents, uncles, aunts, etc., it can become quite a drag. Now, all my cousins and friends are currently away at college and I seem to be the only one coming home every weekend. Loser right?! Anyways, that being said I figured I would share with you guys some tips on how to keep yourself entertained during those dreadful family events. *yawns*

1. Have a drink. That is if you are 21+ ofcourse! which reminds me, check this out guys!

As I walk into my aunt's house, I immediately get greeted with a hand stamp so that everyone around me remembers that I am 21 and can drink. Oh & my cup gets labeled...just in case the kiddies aren't sipping on the low. Now, this just has to be my family..seriously, who does this?! Weird..

2. Annoy Grandma.

Now what I like to do is constantly replace my grandma's alcoholic drink with water. Three times tops and she swears she's gone crazy. At least she won't be begging me to dance bachata with her by the end of the night..

3. Have another drink

4. And another...

5. Act like you're enjoying yourself

6. Pretend you forgot something in the car and never come back

7. Go for a jog

8. When your family members get drunk, ask them for gifts and money. Guarantee this works every time!

9. Release your pet rabbit from his cage

Cupcake had no problem hopping around like it was nobody's business. Boy did I get in trouble for that one..poor Grandma is all I have to say. So take precaution on this one guys

10. Smile awkwardly like a creep behind every photo

Next time you get invited to a family party, don't hop off the wagon just yet. Make a plan, be creative, and have fun!
