<p>I was just wondering to see how many CC kids, party, drink, smoke, ect. because from what I've seen everyone here is worried that are going to be shunned in college for not doing that. Personally, I drink occasionally, have never and will never smoke cigarettes, and have never done weed, but would consider it.</p>
<p>I might party in college but I’m not necessarily interested in drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, or doing drugs. Even being friends with people who party a lot, it has never really interested me… I guess maybe its just because I don’t like to be out of control of myself. I’m all for having a good time but that’s not really my idea of how to do it. Not trying to preach, just isn’t my thing.</p>
<p>^^^^ I can understand that, I’ve never been friends with people who party 24/7, fun it’s fun occasionally to not always be in control, let loose some emotions, and have a possible cathartic event. I think a lot of it is because I have a lot of social anxiety around strangers and that goes away when I drink and I have a lot more fun. I understand people who say it just doesn’t interest them, although I think everyone should try it at least once. The think that annoys me are the people who try to be “good kids” and say that “it’s bad for you and they’re never going to do it”. IMO a lot of people have been brain washed by society today and don’t even know the truth about a lot of it.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’d go to the extent of saying I would NEVER do it because that’s not really being realistic. Everyone has their own personal preference as to whether or not they want to do it. I’m a good kid but I’m not naive about partying or alcohol or anything like that. I would rather spend time with my family or lie in bed and read a book than get drunk… sorry to give into the nerdy stereotype hahah</p>
<p>No. 10char</p>
<p>I party. I am totally against drugs and smoking though, I plan on not smoking/doing drugs for the rest of my life. I’ve been offered weed more times than I can count, a ton of my friends do it, and it sucks to feel excluded, but when I’m off to some good college and they’re going to the local state college I will know I made the right choice. That’s not to say that if you do drugs you won’t go to a good school, but the stoners who obsess over weed are going to go nowhere in life. Stuff like that would be ok in moderation I suppose, but I don’t want anything to hold me back during high school.</p>
<p>^^ same! Chilling with the fam sounds a lot more fun than partying anyways in my opinion.</p>
<p>But i dont get invited to those kinds of parties since most of my friends arent really into that atmosphere either but there really arent a lot of parties in my town anyways but when there are, some of my friends tend to party mad hard and do things that they regret in the morning and one kid i knew almost died from alcohol poisoning from drinking too many Four Lokos so im anti-drinking, drugs, sex, and smoking but im kinda okay with grinding so long as you dont get carried away with it and i would only drink no more than a cup no matter the circumstances.</p>
<p>^^^^ Not always true, I rarely do any of the afore mentioned things, but I have a friend who drinks and smokes quite often, but nonetheless he is serious about school, and hopes to get into a good one. He just took the SAT, and before that he had done many practice tests, getting a 2320 on one of them. In addition, there are people at ever top school who drink, smoke, and even do some harder drugs.</p>
<p>Oops! My arrows were referring to StarbucksBarista not the guy above me</p>
<p>Just curious, those of you who don’t ‘party’ in high school, do you plan on continuing this way into college? I drink but don’t smoke or do drugs, and when I go to college I plan on continuing this. In college I want to work hard and party hard, which is part of the reason I want to go to Penn :p.</p>
<p>EDIT: I have a friend who drinks/smokes weed and partys crazy hard. He got a 2300 on the SAT, has like a 4.2 weighted and applied ED to Harvard. I guess some people can handle it all, but I don’t trust myself to do all that he does.</p>
<p>^^ Yeah I don’t really trust myself to be able to handle everything I have going on on top of partying and drinking. I guess a large part of why I haven’t really gotten in trouble is because I spend a lot of time with my family, studying for school, volunteering, and WORKING (obviously at Starbucks). I’m not one of those rich kids with parents pressuring them to go to Harvard or anything. If I go to college at all, I’d be one of the first.</p>
<p>not really.
i dont drink or smoke or do any drugs and plan on never doing so. my father is an alcoholic so i see everyday the damage of alcohol.
so no, i dont. i dont want to **** up my life or chance f*****g it up.</p>
<p>I don’t party and I’m in high school. </p>
<p>In college I plan on partying but not get too carried away, I want to get good grades in college and not fail.</p>
<p>From what I’ve gathered, finding the balance is key. Some can handle a ton of partying and school, some can’t. Warning, extremely cheesy sentence incoming: I guess we all have to find out what works for ourselves and not base our actions off others’ experiences.</p>
<p>I party my ass off. I do Weed/Alcohol in moderation and sometimes harder drugs (tried ecstasy once… woah). Not really a party drug, but I have done shrooms a few times. </p>
<p>I did SCEA to Harvard and awaiting my SAT scores (got 2230 last time… think I got 2270+ this time)</p>
<p>I party, but the key is control. I like what you said about people being brainwashed; instantly people come to mind when I think of bible belters condeming any form of drugs.</p>
<p>But whatever happens, don’t let it prevent you from being friends with somebody. That’s the bad part. There’s nothing wrong with partying or not partying (except for missing out on a fun time) but there is something wrong with anti-partying or anti-nonpartyers.</p>
<p>I like to party, but I am too smart and attractive to do any type of drug.</p>
<p>“Too smart and attractive to do any type of drug.” </p>
<p>You’re joking, right?</p>
<p>I am obviously not joking.</p>
<p>Exactly my thoughts. I’m friends with people who party and it’s fine with me as long as it doesn’t get out of control. But personally it doesn’t appeal to me. I have plenty of fun without being high or wasted so I’m good without it.</p>
