What does “Bringing the party home” really mean?

I’m currently apartment hunting. It’s an exhausting process that requires me to scroll through thousands of craigslist, trulia, zillow, every other real estate website to find a place that I can commit to living in for at least a year’s lease. I’m also looking at single rooms for rent, which is a whole different ball game. Craigslist is a sketch website, we can agree on that, right? People also acknowledge it because they aren’t using full names, vague about age, and no one will put their contact info up. Let me give you a fictionalized example:

Room available in 3 bed 2 bath Nob Hill apartment (FAV THIS POST!!!)

Hello future roommate! We have a room available in our bright, cozy apartment available 5/1. Our old roomie is moving in with her boyfriend, otherwise she’d love to stay! We are close friends and do our own things on weeknights but will sometimes hang on weekends. J (m) is 27 and works in the FiDi, and I (F) am 26 and work in tech recruiting and work from home sometimes.

You: mid 20s to early 30s, steady income, pay on time, clean but not a neat freak, social but doesn’t bring the party home

IF this sounds like you, please email us with your insta or linkedin, and what your ideal move-in would be! J

“Doesn’t bring the party home” what is that? When I read that, I imagine a konga line bursting through the door at 2:15AM on a Saturday. Lamp shades on heads, beer bongs, etc. Now I know that’s dramatic, but that is the EXACT opposite of how my nights out end. I acknowledge that people party harder than me. I’m 24 but I get hangovers like I’m 42. Once the bar closes, I’m done. I’m getting in an Uber and hoping someone is there with me to help me get into my apartment and then sharing a delectable snack of Saltine Crackers and Betty Crocker Funfetti Frosting. I am slipping that little tidbit about me into this article just because I want you to know that it’s amazing and disgusting and you should give it a shot. The point is, I sleep. Maybe I throw on a stand up special on Netflix if I’m feeling crazy. I usually don’t even make it to last call anymore.

So to my future roommates, I’m sorry for the crumbs everywhere. But you won’t have to worry about me bringing the party home.
