Here’s the harsh truth. Each year, many college students get sucked into drugs and parties, get knocked up, drop out, and become the victims of unfortunate crimes. This is why parents and teachers spend so much time cautioning you, especially women.

But we’re here to remind you that while buckling down is important, so is having fun. By all means, make some time for dating and playing video games. Read that Game of Thrones book you’ve had sitting on the shelf since Christmas. See that concert. See a bit of the surrounding area, especially if your college is nowhere near home.

As long as you keep everything in moderation and never lose focus of the real reason you’re in college, you’ll live to tell the tale.
