Should College Be One Big Party?

<p>^ ^</p>

<p>Here is my cautionary tale. The drinking was definitely a mistake that I look back on now with regret. Unfortunately, both of my boyfriends during college were heavy drinkers. I was physically assaulted by both of them when they were under the influence of alcohol. My relationship with one was very tumultuous and frighteningly similar to George Huguely and Yeardley Love at UVA. I could have wound up dead just like her. One boyfriend killed a young boy while driving drunk and was sent to prison. The other was convicted of assaulting his ex-wife and is now in prison. Both of these boyfriends were from upper middle class professional families. So, you never really know what can happen when you drink or party too much in college. You could be a victim of assault or the perpetrator of an assault. So, NO, I don’t think that college should be one big party.</p>
