Time to party? I'm not into it...

Going from a life of intense studying and devotion to being productive at all times to a life of parties and more social interaction is the kind of change I was talking about. I intend to get into an Ivy league graduate school, but if I end up losing control or slacking on my studies due to parties then that could be a pretty big change.

My ideas about drinking and parties are based on experience. I’ve watched it ruin people’s lives. I know that not everyone is like that, but I’ve seen it happen so many times that I can’t help thinking that I could fall into the same trap. I am afraid I’ll like the parties and the alcohol and that they could get in the way of my goals. I know that my self control has kept me on a good path thus far, but I don’t want to put myself in a situation I can’t get out of.
