I’m writing on my college essay on a club that I’m a part of and I’m explaining how I got to join the club. One of the factors is that all of my friends began drinking going into ninth grade (high school) and I rejected that, so I looked to go towards other interests and finding myself and blah blah blah. Is it okay if I mention drinking in my essay if I’m not the actual one doing it?
