<p>you mean like Lindsey Lohan? Wall Street Bankers? Rich, white snobs are not the most likable characters where I come from.</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s not like you do a line and you’re instantly an addict. Lots of people use it and have control over it, although the chance of addiction means that you COULD wind up in a bad place because of it. I personally don’t think it’s worth it though, it’s expensive and doesn’t last a long time.</p>
<p>Do you REALLY think only rich white snobs do coke? Lots of people do, all different kinds of people. Of course it’s not all that common compared to the average population, but it’s not all drug addicts. It’s not that big of a deal.</p>
<p>they call them stereotypes because they’re mostly true. Hey, can we please just settle on the fact that doing coke is generally NOT a good thing??</p>
<p>Lots of non-white, non-rich people do cocaine. They’re the ones who end up brutalizing their loved ones, being victims of drive-by shootings, or spending their lives bouncing between jail and homelessness.</p>
<p>But to answer the original question, how to balance partying and studying, well, it’s quite easy. Just decide how much you are willing to screw up your future life, then don’t party until your academics are above that standard.</p>
<p>How come some of u recommend weed? Its not addictive? Also what’s acid haha</p>
<p>^Weed can be addictive if you smoke a ton, but generally it isn’t for the recreational user.</p>
<p>As for the OP - although I wouldn’t recommend doing hard drugs at all, I’d say that it’s fairly easy to balance partying/school as long as you make sure that certain nights/times are prioritized for schoolwork. I generally (with exceptions) don’t go out Sunday through THursday, but Friday and Saturday nights are my time, unless I have a s**t ton of work (and even then, I usually just do work all Sunday and stay up on Sunday night, haha). As long as you have some form of self-control, it isn’t that difficult, and it makes weekends more fun.</p>
<p>Well, obviously you cannot balance patrying and studying because when you say balancing the two you are trying to say that you want them to have equal time. You can party at least once a week but you should prioritize your study first. The life of a student is pretty much important and the happiest so take it seriously yet enjoyable.</p>
<p>Just giving my perspective, I was able to go out Tuesday Thursday Friday Saturday (and Saturday mornings during football season) and still have a very successful freshman year academically at a tough school. At the same time I know people who couldn’t go out more than once or twice a week and still struggled. It’s all about how much sleep you are willing to sacrifice (or how late of a class schedule you are able to get) and how well you can really just buckle down and learn what you have to learn under pressure. Yes sometimes I would stop studying in favor of going out on like a Tuesday or something, but then maybe I stay up extra late on Wednesday or study before class. Personally I couldn’t handle such a rigid “this is what I have to do and this is when I have to do it every day” type of life and I think taking some time to de-stress and go party wasn’t the worst thing for me. I definitely wasn’t wasting any more time than my roommate who played video games all night.</p>
<p>^This. I should have added that my entire freshman year I had classes beginning at 8:30 am and ending sometime around 2 or 3, so I couldn’t exactly be hungover. I’m also a varsity athlete, so I can’t party a lot for part of the year. But I will conceded that this past term when I didn’t have class til 10 am, I went out on Wednesday nights. It depends on your workload and schedule, mostly.</p>
<p>It also depends on your major. Obviously if you are a liberal arts major, you will not have to study as much as a engineering/pre-med major and have more free time.</p>
<p>Major is irrelevant. It depends on the rigor of the program students at top liberal arts colleges have to study just as much as Kit kids.</p>
<p>That said. You’ll just end up as a burn out if you don’t shape up and get it together, TC. You don’t even seem to want to go to college. If you have any desire for higher education then you’ll need to make the obvious sacrifices. If not, then your better off getting a trade. And even then the same applies.</p>
<p>Sorry if that’s harsh.</p>
