As a college student, I feel like I'm constantly struggling to find a balance between living it up and having a good time with my friends, and doing things that are going to benefit me in the long run. People say that college is the only time you'll ever have to live with virtually no responsibilities, be surrounded by your friends 24/7, and drink to the verge of alcoholism with it being acceptable. They say to take advantage of it, to enjoy it, because you'll never get those four years back. But, I ask you, isn't this also a vital time to be preparing for your life after college ends? Isn't this a time to be buckling down on the classes you spend tens of thousands of dollars on a year? Isn't this a time to be getting jobs and finding internships so you know what career path you want to pursue?
