<p>Most of the people who post on here (sorry to generalize) don't have much of social lives. They are too consumed with grades, SAT's, community service. But, the question I pose it simple. Is it worth to not be outgoing, go to few parties, and spend hours upon hours studying instead of having fun? I think it's petty and you really can't value you it if you don't do it but eventually you will realize.</p>
<p>I mean you don't regret it now but you probably will later down the road. </p>
<p>You are ridiculously immature for having to make this post. Of course, I could be contrued as the same for responding. Posting a rant on CC about CC people not having social lives is rather hypocritical.</p>
<p>Anyway, I am sure many people on CC have a great social life, including myself. But that is beside the point. Point is, some people have different priorities in life. For example, I actually enjoy some of my classes, particularly math. Not much interest in the whole partying, hooking up with people, etc. scene. However, that isn't for a lack of opportunity. I've been propositioned to do that several times, so I'm not some person holed up in his books.</p>
<p>I completely agree with the original poster. It really is a matter of enjoying high school while it lasts because you only have this opportunity once in a lifetime. I say don't waste it with your nose in a book. I'm not saying forget about grades. I'm saying to all the people who refuse to or don't want to get out there and live life. I hope this helps. And to pcpharoah, i think you have some social issues you need to address. But who am i to say....</p>
<p>lol, I dont spend hours studying, usually 1-2 tops unless it's for an olympiad. I don't care for liberal behavior, which is always at the root of anything pertaining to a "social life"</p>
<p>But...do you mean I go see movies, sporting events? Of course,</p>
<p>Studying should consume your life. I have taken the most rigorous courseload all three years thus far and I enjoy a lot of free time to do as I please.

Or you can enjoy it too much and regret the rest of your life as you struggle to pay the rent.</p>
<p>pharaoh apparently does not possess many friends.</p>
<p>i do find many of my classes interesting, so you are being quite condescending. in fact, i plan on being a film major, but i still love my english classes, history classes and I am learning to love Calculus. </p>
<p>So do you really think I'll struggle to pay rent in the future because I had so many good times and been to a ton of parties. because i think it is even more impressive to boast having a great social life and be in the top 2% of your class with ec's and lettering three varsity sports.</p>
<p>chomp on this. ill take a drink for you pharaoh</p>
<p>True, but going to parties and doing "liberal behaviors" (as I call them) automatically puts you one rung below someone who is just as good in everything else but opts not to do that stuff.</p>
<p>Why? I think if you can manage to do both, then more power to you. Not all of having a social life means "liberal behaviors" (although I'm not entirely sure what you are implying.) All work and no play is just as bad as all play and no work. Everybody needs some sort of balance.</p>
<p>LOL you know damn well I meant drugs, sex, and alcohol. And what I mean is that anyone who tries any of the three is already imperfect and lost his/her moral standing with respect to a perfect abstainer (such as me, which just shows how arrogant I can be when it comes to these matters lol)</p>
<p>But here's the problem: going to the movies/ballin' at the local gym isn't "social" enough for teens in my school, so if it's not...then **** having a social life LOL!</p>
<p>No I meant I don't know if you were implying that it was a LIBERAL thing as in it is things liberals do.</p>
<p>And going to the movies or whatever is a social life. It still means you have friends and get out. And I don't know ANYBODY who has never had a sip of alcohol, a contact buzz, or sex by the time they're a junior in high school. They're simply a part of our culture.</p>

<p>LOL that's the point, it doesn't matter, it just gives a basis for excessively proud people such as myself to proclaim superority over others.</p>
<p>You might think I'm a cold bastard, but at least I'm keeping it real and telling you the truth.</p>
<p>@gypsy: LOLOLOLOLOL I know 3 kids in my school who are like that. They're all juniors, too, who have social lives by most definitions. It's all a matter of what choices people make, and these 3 (plus myself) made the right ones.</p>
<p>I'm still not seeing how you being "completly free of all of these things" (although I'm still a bit skeptical that you've never even had a SIP of alcohol, have you ever been to church?) makes you superior.</p>

Well I dont know what culture you're living in, but many people at my school have never done those things.</p>
<p>IMHO, you really have to go out and experience both sides of the spectrum to really gain an honest opinion. It's highschool, and honestly slacking off a bit and partying isn't going to ruin your life... unless you let it.</p>
<p>I myself party most friday and saturday nights, and it hasn't influenced me negatively one bit. I still do my school work, study occasionally, and make good grades.</p>
