Just Chillin'

Friday
night rolls around and you finally have the weekend to let loose,
blow off steam and get crazy with your buddies.
Admittedly,  you're
a little hung over from the night before -- Thursday nights
downtown always offer pitchers
for a buck.
So, tonight, your entertainment
will be a bit low-key. 
When you think of a typical college student's social life,
most people picture uncontrollable parties, and obnoxious
drunk freshmen setting off fire alarms. Granted, every campus
has their share of those, but in actuality, those students represent
only a very vocal minority.
Most college kids aren't out getting wasted at the bars.
They're all too poor or too young or too lazy to get a fake
ID. Why go somewhere and spend all your money when you can
just grab a six-pack, head to your friend's dorm room and
chill out there with all your friends.
We asked our members just what is it they do on a typical
Friday night. The response? Most are just taking it easy, hanging
out with friends. Some go to parties, a few hit the bars and
others are just chilling out online, working or (believe it
or not) catching up on schoolwork.
Maybe we're all a bit more responsible
than our
parents give us credit for. Most of us, after
all, are at least helping to put ourselves through school
and have to juggle
work with papers and studying. Who has time to party? Or maybe
the answer is as easy as this: we are just more mellow
- or boring - than the rest of our classmates. But I'll let
you be the ones to decide. Think you can work it into your schedule?
What do I do? I have school and work and I cannot afford to
go out and party. I am an art major so I spend a lot of time
in the art department working on a variety of projects. The
people who complain
during the weekends about being bored are missing out on what
the college experience is about: working but also having fun.
Fortunately,
I have fellow art majors who hang out and work on the weekends,
so it's pretty fun.
