Is it possible to do well in college while partying full-time?
    #21903828 - 07/06/15 01:59 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Well I am heading off to college in the fall and I'm planning to blow down everyday as well as probably drink quite more frequently than I do now.

Is it possible to do fairly well in college while also maintaining a minor drug/alcohol habit?

Oh yea. You would be surprised at what you can get away with. You can easily do it with alcohol as well. Not the best way but its doable. Relating to alcohol specifically, drink earlier and have a certain quitting time.

Would it not depend on the person? I only did decent in school because I tried hard. I had too if I partied real hard I would of failed miserably. I had a friend that was pulling 80% or higher in his classes only going for tests.


--------------------
Alright then, picture this if you will:
10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need to know" post, just outside of Area 51.
Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thing with just a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping...
Holy fucking shit!

I was thinking like four or five shots throughout the day would have me buzzed all day but not totally drunk. I have a low tolerance when it comes to booze it seems lol. Or maybe i just always over do it.

Anyway i bought a dab pen specifically to be able to smoke all day everyday discreetly lol it's gonna be stellar

Its only possible if you set boundaries and seriously stick with them
Don't start dabbing before class every morning, that's what got me haha. Your memory decreases quickly, so stick with less than 2 bowls if you wakenbake

The hardest part is keeping the desire to do the ton of home work and reading everyday, it'll take a couple hours at least out of each day plus school time, so organize your time very wisely and make sure to finish all your work before drinking or smoking because you'll really not want to do it when you're smoking bowl after bowl

Good luck brother, it's a lot of work. A lot. But if a degree is what you really want, you'll mhake it happen (:

Really though, dabs are no joke when it comes to not doing work, at least for me, and I had all A's an b's in HS and I was burning constantly

Based on what I've seen from you I don't think it's possible for you to do well in college even without picking up any substance abuse problems.

Depends on your major, your school, and whether or not you're in a frat. If you want to party hard, you should go for an MBA from a prestigious university (or a party school), and you should definitely join a frat.

Or if you want to work hard AND party hard AND you hate frats, you should be a music major.

It wouldn't have worked for me, that's all I know. :shrug: University was a very enjoyable experience and I've been able to do much more than just boring studying, but I feel quite well at also being able to perform whenever necessary. Try to strike a healthy balance between achievement and enjoyment; there's a synergetic effect between the two of them.

As long as you aren't a science major you'll have plenty of time to party. I found that I had more time to get fucked up my first two years. Once you get into your major classes though you don't really have much room to dick around

You haven't seen much from me on that matter.

I sold a ton of weed in college, did a ton of drugs, more than I ever thought was possible. I barely scraped by, but I learned so much I'm able to perform well in real life, where it matters and grades, eh fuck em.

If you're going to go that route make sure you do extra curriculars. When you get into the real world you're going to need to be able to talk around your shitty grades. Also you're probably going to miss a lot of class so this will suppliment that. I volunteered a ton and went on all the extra credit field trips etc. I did field work, independent studies, etc. I failed a ton of classes, didn't get too many A's but I can interview with the best of them. You just have to be aware of the fact you're not getting fucked up just to get fucked up, you're exploring life. Classic psychedelic mindset. Except when you're not tripping the trippy stuff is other people's minds and the experiences you can have.

But I had a ton of friends go to jail/rehab/just really lost cause all they would do is get really fucked up and not balance it with anything.

Also don't only be willing to go the extra mile, you fucking have to go the extra mile on everything. Or else you're just a drug addict slipping through the cracks. And take some pride in yourself.

Do this and maybe, just maybe you'll be fine.

Also I was an environmental resources management major, with a water resources management minor. I think the fact that what I did was 100% applicable to the job market and not some lofty idealistic path helped. Cause now I'm doing some lofty idealistic shit with lots of options.

Also always have a job. When you're in an interview and they ask you why your grades suck, you can now say you worked 20 some hours a week and it took a while to get the time management down.

I went back to school studied engineering for a bit and got a job as an engineer in the semiconductor industry after years of applying.


There is the notion that there is a STEM deficit.  This is debated and I don't believe it.  There is a glut of STEM majors and most science degrees are not marketable.  Electrical engineering has lost something like 20% of existing jobs in the past ten years or so.  The majority of physics graduates are not able to get a STEM job of any kind and work in non-STEM related areas.  There is no current non-industry sponsored study that shows any deficit of STEM grads.  Of course industry always cries for more subsidies into training their future workforce.  Why would they ever tell society to stop training science grads so their employee pool and shrink and their labor costs can grow?  They never will.

My advice for anyone considering science is to shoot for a PhD or forget it and major in something more marketable.  The STEM areas I think are marketable are applications to medicine and healthcare (which is sometimes included in "STEM", sometimes it isn't) and computer science/programming.

Well I am heading off to college in the fall and I'm planning to blow down everyday as well as probably drink quite more frequently than I do now.

Is it possible to do fairly well in college while also maintaining a minor drug/alcohol habit?



I did it.  I got stoned every day.  Every single day.  Most can't.  Most of the people in college today shouldn't be there anyway.  They are getting ripped off by a fraudulent ethos.

What are you doing now?




I went back to school studied engineering for a bit and got a job as an engineer in the semiconductor industry after years of applying.


There is the notion that there is a STEM deficit.  This is debated and I don't believe it.  There is a glut of STEM majors and most science degrees are not marketable.  Electrical engineering has lost something like 20% of existing jobs in the past ten years or so.  The majority of physics graduates are not able to get a STEM job of any kind and work in non-STEM related areas.  There is no current non-industry sponsored study that shows any deficit of STEM grads.  Of course industry always cries for more subsidies into training their future workforce.  Why would they ever tell society to stop training science grads so their employee pool and shrink and their labor costs can grow?  They never will.

My advice for anyone considering science is to shoot for a PhD or forget it and major in something more marketable.  The STEM areas I think are marketable are applications to medicine and healthcare (which is sometimes included in "STEM", sometimes it isn't) and computer science/programming.



Well I'm Neuroscience and there's no way I'm going for my PhD. I don't really like research or being in the lab to be honest. I'm either going into pharmaceutical sales or medical device marketing. I actually feel like I have an advantage over the people that got business and political science degrees since I have taken a number of pharmacology course.

Leaving science for sales and marketing in the medical industry sounds like a great idea.  Especially since you don't want to go for a PhD.  :thumbup:

When I was presenting my research to the neuroscience faculty they all asked what I was going to do after I graduated since I'm a senior. When I told them my plans most of them said they wished they'd gone my route and started making money way earlier. I think I"m doing the right thing. Plus I'm young and I'll get to travel a little while saving up some money in the process. Also, I have all my pre reqs for medical school so if I decide I don't want to be in the medical industry I have that to fall back on.

If you don't want to be in the medical industry you will fall back to med school?  :crazyeyes:

I think I know what you mean.  :wink:

Haha when you say it out loud it sounds kinda crazy :cool:

I'm just really tired of busting my ass in school and being broke. I'm forced to work shitty ass fucking food service jobs to keep some money in my pocket but all it does is stress me out even more. I just wanna be able to actually afford rent and bills and  still live comfortably at the same time :shrug:

op - school comes first regardless. working full time while in college is what my major source of difficulty has been. it leaves virtually no time for studying unless you're a robot who doesn't require sleep. that tends to take its toll after a few years. and whatever you decide to study, know that it will not be easy.

:highfive:.  When I was a senior my hemispheric specialization professor asked me if I wanted to go to grad school.  I said, "No.  I'm going to work.  I'm sick of being broke."

My best friend from college, med tech degree, eventually got into med device and testing sales.  Quite lucrative.  You gotta have a sales persona to go along with tech savvy but you don't have to have super sales skills if you got the tech down.

Just be sober when you go to class/do your homework. And work HARD. Then you can pull it off.
