I've been to many parties/raves/carnivals in my life— Carnival almost every year since childhood, Lush, VSOP, Back to Basics, Scorch as a teenager, UWI Carnival as a UWI student, and Dream Weekend, Plush at Club Privilege and just this summer, EDX as an adult. I've been going to Major Lazer concert ever since my first one in January, 2013. Hell, I even go to taboo sometimes, but I have never been to anything like this.384Please respect copyright.PENANA9UXYKTV5Jl

I'm at an 18 and over water party. Apparently, for this particular party, "water" entails that women in bath suits, or anything revealing wrestle each other in a blow up pool, while everyone else cheers, screens, etc.384Please respect copyright.PENANAAqefvORWlo

Of course, there's always that one man on the microphone screaming and shouting that you'd think that the speaker is right beside you.384Please respect copyright.PENANARI6EUo02gr

I hold up my camera and take a picture as one woman pushes the other over the side of the pool, into the mud created from the water splashing over the side of the pool.384Please respect copyright.PENANAI8Mf1mkj7u

For some reason, I'm not bothered by the fact that he's stalking me. It seems totally in character for him, and I don't feel threatened by it. I actually feel better, having someone even a little bit familiar in such a foreign place.384Please respect copyright.PENANA4yjwCQkQEC

I'd left a Rihanna poster on the floor in my bedroom; I must be a sucker for punishment, because I'm staring at it, the remainder of the poster lying on the floor, my idols face distorted by the water causing the ink to run.384Please respect copyright.PENANAfyPd1TWskW
