<p>I completely agree. I was one of those kids who literally partied every single night at what is consistently a top party school. I barely studied and had the time of my life. I also wish I had done it differently even though my aptitude in my major allowed me to do well in my core classes and have a great career and life. </p>
<p>Having said that, my kids could not be any different. I have one apple that didn’t fall far from the tree (but without any study habits, self control, maturity, or drive), and one that is the me I am today. I’d take the today me any day 
but I hope she still finds a way to have fun at a demanding school despite not drinking and being driven to be perfect.</p>
