To Drink or Not to Drink....

That Certainly Is the Question!



Whenever I go out with my friends it's the same damn thing. Lets go to the bar and sit around and get wasted. But I just can't do it anymore. I fucked up my school work because of it and now I am forced to take a summer course just to keep my scholarships. I was the biggest drinker of all of us when we first started going out. I passed out at the bar I don't know how many times, slept with people I would normally never talk to, and shelled out money like I was a fucking millionaire. It was horribly pathetic. Now when we go out I opt not to drink. I was drinking and driving, which is never good, and now I am the Designated Driver! I am very proud of myself for the way I am now, but very, very ashamed of the way I was.

My advice to anyone who is entering college. LIVE IT UP, but BE SMART! Don't waste away an entire two semesters on beer and pool. Save your money, pay your bills (ontime), stay sober, and you will find that you will be more respected and you will feel ten million times better about yourself than I do at this present date.

I know what you are thinking: "Wait a tic, she is only 19. How does she get into bars?" And I will honestly tell you, I don't know how, but for some reason the bouncers let me in. I've almost never paid a cover charge and I always have people buying me drinks, the bars' owners included. But I'm telling you now, it's definately NOT worth it. Sit around at home if you still live at home and enjoy your family's company. If you live in the dorms, leave them only two nights a week. Study before you leave your domicile and finish your work before you crack open a cold one. I am telling you all this because I figured it out at the ripe age of 19. You can't party all the time. As sweet ass as that sounds.

Partying will only bring you down, you will end up flunking out of college, or in my case almost flunking out and losing every single scholarship that you worked so hard for in high school to achieve. Don't be stupid like me! Be smart, have one or two beers, one or two nights a week. Study. Actually study and get your shit done the right way. And leave the partying to the ametuers.
