I'm just curious about the English translation. To be grammatically correct in English, I supposed you'd have to say, "the students with whom I partied." But no one talks that way, and it sounds very stuffy and formal. So I take it, you have decided not to follow English grammar to the letter, but rather the way people actually talk. I think that's a good decision. I take it you are descriptive rather than prescriptive grammarians?
ALLÍ talks about a further away distance from the speaker

Hola,
Are we saying here that the use of 'de' is optional?

Esa historia no tiene nada de particular.No había nada de irónico en mis comentarios.
Hola,
'Estamos a 28 de diciembre' should also be considered correct here, right?
I noticed in the given examples in the lesson for estar to talk about dates, that 'estamos a' is always followed by a date written in words. Is it acceptable to use 'estamos a' followed by a date in digits?
Thanks,
