Is College One Big Party After All?

If you watched the above video with Jeffrey, you know that there will be plenty of partying going on in college and that, if you take Jeffrey’s advice, you’ll have fun even without drinking excessively.

There are really no big secrets when it comes to partying in college. There are parties and there are students drinking on every campus. You’re also not two years old, but maybe you’re not twenty one either! If you’re not twenty one, you know that drinking isn’t permitted, but it still happens. We don’t recommend drinking underage, but if you do, no matter how old you are, drinking should be done responsibly; we don’t have to tell you that, you’ve heard that a million times.

But what does that entail? You can probably figure that out too. But, here are some additional pointers aside from what Jeffrey’s mentioned above. First off, there’s no need to party every night. Do you really have that much to celebrate? Trust us, there will be a party tomorrow night, and the next weekend, and the weekend after that. You’re not missing out by staying in a couple nights.

Also, if you do party almost every night and choose to drink that frequently, get ready for some consequences! There’s simply no way you can do as well in school with that volume of fiesta-ing. Even if you can keep grades up, you won’t learn as much as you can, which in a few years will be what really matters. Also, if you’re out late partying most nights, get ready for weight gain, lower nutrition levels, and increased fatigue. Being out late means plenty of late-night munchies, not enough sleep, and the consumption of empty calories like alcohol and late-night junk food.

If you do choose to drink, hopefully you’ll aim to take in only enough needed to relax and not so much that you’ll forget all events and just how much pizza you consumed. At some point, drinking becomes excessive and taking in more won’t help you have a better time, unless your idea of a good time is spending the night nauseously expelling all your consumed beverages. Think of how sick you’d have to be to throw up from being, well, sick. It’s not a natural or healthy state to be in, and too much drinking induces that!

It’s really quite simple. Be smart. Don’t drink too much, and do so in moderation. Or, pay the prices.
