They didn't allow any flash, I was just breaking the rules... regardless, I wasn't being paid, and didn't really care. Only reason I wasn't kicked out of the event for flash was because I didn't make it painstakingly obvious & annoying for everyone in the audience.
Look, if you want your images in situations like this to not look absolutely amateur, then you first need to network better and get legitimate access to the event. Get a bracket for your flash and a TTL cord like this one and bounce the flash or put a good diffuser on it. At a party scene, it's a heck of a lot more mobile than your other quality lighting options, unless you can get permission to put speedlights and remote triggers somewhere in the room, but that's probably not going to happen.
Unfortunately, your images at this point, and definitely your attitude are textbook amateur. However, since you're probably still a teenager I'm likely expecting far too much perspective from you.
Feel free to post back with relevant content, and not more excuse and rationalizations. Otherwise, best of luck...
