<p>dcfca no big deal until you're middle aged.</p>
<p>yeah c0nfusion i was thikning about that. in college, i know you can party every night pretty much. meateater is still in high school.</p>
<p>what do you guys do during an average party?</p>
<p>Drink and get nice with the ladies.</p>
<p>But I guess I can't do that for much longer since my girlfriend and I are getting an apartment later this week :( Or can I. . .</p>
<p>Well, I guess theoretically there's enough time for most people, but I don't ever see myself doing something like that 5 times a week anyway. That's just me though.</p>
<p>your liver will complain if it's 5 times a week. and complain.. and get fat... and cause cirrhosis.</p>
<p>actually namaste, I go to one of the best boarding schools in America. I'm just quite efficient with my work. Don't try to judge my grades based on the fact that I like to have a good time. On a sidenote, my friends who just graduated and followed a similar schedule went to, respectively, Penn, Princeton, Amherst, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, and the dumb one went to Hamilton. Sorry, I'm just very good at getting by with as little work as possible. And, I do know I'll get fat, but that's ok by me. Sorry, just read the thread and saw that most people agreed with me. It is DEFINETLY possible. And I'm also not ripping on you for not being down with the partying. I'm just trying to prove a point, I'm kind of drunk now and I'm perfectly lucid, further proving my point that you can do work while drunk, although I haven't started school yet...</p>
<p>I would die after a while if I drank 5 times a week. :P</p>
<p>^You just have to do a lot of liver pushups to get your liver in shape.</p>
<p>the only difference between the honors dorms and the rest of campus (besides the more lax security) is that the honors kids are all "oh christ, I have a differential equations test at 8:40 tomorrow." and keep drinking anyway.</p>
<p>the above example was from someone who's an electrical engineering major. yeah.... something's gotta give.</p>
<p>Actually, I am down with the partying. Just on weekends though - and that's how it is around here if people want to succeed. Those with your schedule are the failures. Hence, you are lying.</p>
<p>No, he isn't.
Meateater goes to one of the most difficult schools in the States. He's being heavily recruited by many of the Ivy League schools for his sport and has the grades to get in regardless. I don't want to speak for him, but he's found a way to make it work. All about prioritizing.</p>
<p>^Thanks for the support. I just find it annoying that people seem to think that having fun and doing well are mutually exclusive to the point of calling me a liar.</p>
<p>You can maintain top athletics and perfect grades at a super competitive school while at the same time getting drunk out of your mind every night? You are truly a scientific abnormality and I would really like to study you.</p>
<p>Actually, I said I do about 4 times a week and that I would up it to 5 or 6 times a week in college.:) I'm always available for study, will I be paid?</p>

<p>I don't get anywhere near the grades you do, but I pretty much did the same thing my senior year of high school (not before that, though, so you've one-up me there). We dumb, alcoholic jocks have to stick together, right? Hahaha</p>

<p>man, courting the ladies is where all the fun is.</p>
<p>drinking generally makes me feel a little, well, foggy-minded for awhile after the buzz.. i think i'll dabble in something different that doesn't give the hangover effect, :)</p>
<p>Unfortunately, like meateater, I'm an athlete, so there's not much to do besides drink (NCAA has drug testing, and smoking isn't too conducive to running). The few times I have smoked (tobacco - out of a hookah, I don't smoke cigarettes or anything), I loved it and it was waaaay more fun than drinking.</p>
<p>Ecliptica- My grades aren't really that great (legitimately, not trying to be fake humble as many of the compliment fishers are on here) An A-/B+ average is certainly lower than the ivy league average, although I know for a fact that they take into account my school. I'm hoping that since I have high SAT's and my school doesn't rank or do GPA that the coaches can do some crazy stuff with my AI and make it higher. I'd assume I'm somewhere around a 215 which puts me in the top academic band, but who knows. I'm also worried because a ton of kids with a little bit better grades than I do from my school are applying to Pton early, however, they are not athletes, so I'm hoping I go into a different pool.</p>
<p>My mom is one of the most functional alcoholics I know. She can get ****ed (stumbling and slurring) on a Tuesday night, and wake up for work fine the next morning. Of course, she also once blew a .8 (.8 - not .08) and had to be hospitalized for being depression, etc. So, for her, I guess it's all relative.</p>
<p>Seriously though, getting plowed even twice a week is really destructive. Go to a movie or go kayaking or do something else if you really need to "do" something. Getting drunk 3-4 times a week sounds so exhausting...</p>
<p>I have a quick question..
Is there some kind of college tradition of having an end of class/start of class dinner at the professor's place?
Reason I ask is cuz my best friend's prof is inviting everyone for dinner at his place claiming it was a tradition - I just thought it was an odd tradition cuz I've never heard of it before, at least at my school...</p>
