Living life!

[Karxx Gxx]

I know it wont apply to most, but I was a guy who didnt party all high-school, didnt drink, smoke week or any of that. I love socializing and all, but didnt think i was a party guy.
Went to prom and had some fun unexpectedly since it was party like. After that, I knew I would enjoy going to them.
Two years later, second year of college, I go to a Halloween party out of town with my friends (as a ninja if anyone is curious). I HATE the taste of beer, and I didnt want to drink the alcohol cause I really dont like drinking, just wanted to get drunk. (For NSA reasons, the rest is a dream  ) In this dream, my thoughts were and what i did was...
I just took shots as soon as I could to get drunk. Think 7 total was all I took. And man, it was literally the top 5 moments of my life. I was socializing, dancing, kissing, laughing, and just having a @%#!ing blast!

Anyways, for those who have never done it and assume you wont like it, its worth the chance. Some say all it takes is one time to form a habit and I totally agree, but only a certain age group IMO can really party, and after you hit a certain age its too late to go back to the "good days".

If you do go, always have a DD and GOOD friends that you can TRUST! And watch your drinking. Try to google how much you need or just dont take over 3 shots in 10 minutes to be safe. im 160 lbs, 6ft and it took 7 for me to be in a good state. Moderate yourself, and have others moderate you. My rule is I only and always listened to my SOBER friend. I carried my phone in pocket to make sure we dont get split up and leave together.
And if you go to a party that those frats host, dont worry about cops. Cops there at least literally gave this one party 5 chances in one day before they shut it down and didnt even arrest anyone. I even talked to this security guard at this one sorority place for a while. They know people party and they dont want to ruin good times, cool a.f.
This was kinda a crowded party. Im not sure how much fun it would be if its a smaller one since I like mingling and feel less watched.
So again, dont be super-stupid but try to have fun and live life while you can. much worth. very wow. such fact 

...and then my dream ended

Lol... "dream."

I had a somewhat normal college experience. I drank very little, but there were maybe 6-7 times over my first degree where I had a moderate amount to drink (3-6 drinks). It was ok. To me, the many dangers associated with alcohol, and the feeling of indigestion I got immediately after drinking overshadowed the positive social effects. Which isn't to say people shouldn't drink per se, but I think what people are looking for in those situations is something to help get them in a certain state of mind.

When you realize your are in control of your own mindstates... ultimately it becomes a, "Whats the point of using a somewhat dangerous substance to get me to place I could easily take myself?" situation.

Being in college, I would say participate by all means, but you don't need anywhere near the numbers you are talking about to have a very strong effect. 3 shots in 10 minutes is a foolhardy amount, and you are guaranteeing you will get sick.

After you have been there a few times, you can learn the mental state on your own, and take yourself without any external aids at all!

me too have a pretty normal college life. but, i am a binge drinker back in college days, that's why i can't even have a clear mind.
