Providence Clubs (cringe)

        I've always been a very outgoing person, going out with friends at night and always down for anything. However, the one scene of night life that I hadn't tried before was going to a dance club. I'm more of a bar girl, where I get to talk and mingle with people, I've just never been much of a dancer. Well, that all changed one weekend this past semester. My friends dragged me to one of their favorite clubs in Providence and I thought "Eh, what the heck. It can't be that bad". Well, I was wrong. It was ultimately the worst night of my life, and I'll tell you why.
       First of all, all of the boys were hanging on the girls like they had never seen females dancing with each other before. Guys would just sneak up on you and start dancing with you, most of them you wouldn't have wanted to dance with anyways. I wanted it to just be a fun girls night where I could release some stress and "dance the night away" since it works for some people. However, it was hard to do that when you're surrounded by people you feel uncomfortable around.
       Once we had finally had enough (which I thought would never happen) we started to walk back to our car. Of course, the night wasn't over yet because getting to our car was an adventure all on its own. Rachel, our DD, had forgotten where she had parked in the city. We ran into trouble when some guys started giving us a hard time, but lucky for us there were cops patrolling the area and they saw what was happening. They drove us around and helped us find our car and made sure we safely made it back on the road.
        Needless to say, I hope to never go to a club again, never mind a club in such a sketchy area like Providence. Actually, I'd prefer not to go out into cities with just girls, since I just feel safer if some guy friends come along as well. At least I can cross off "clubbing" from my list of "I wonders..." and go on with life. It turns out, I wasn't missing out on much and should've just kept wondering.
