Temptation, according to my knowledge and dictionary.com, is a desire to do something, especially something that is wrong or unwise or the act or desire influenced by exciting hopes or desire. High school students think that when you at college, it is all about fun and freedom and doing whatever one wants, but they are wrong. College life is like beginning a whole new life style, no more school uniforms or dressing appropriately, no more worrying about having 7 classes every day. Contrary to what they think, that is not what happens all the time, even though college is about those things, there are a lot of temptations college students face like procrastinating, having sex, stealing, gambling etc. However, there are top three temptations that college students face and they are drugs and alcohol, cheating and peer pressure and partying. If they are not careful, and they yield to these temptations, a lot of things could go wrong. Things they would regret for the rest of their life. They could get suspended, expelled, imprisoned or they could end up dead.
Drugs and Alcohol is probably the number one temptation that college students especially new students. There are a lot of drugs and alcohol that students would come across in college like Hallucinogens, Opium, LSD, Cocaine, Weed, Ecstasy, Heroine, Beer, Ale, Lager etc. Drugs and Alcohol leads to a lot of drawbacks in life like depressions because they are really addictive, they are as addictive as playing poker and the slots at the Atlantic City or Las Vegas except that this kind of temptations and addiction could lead to Alcohol poisoning, Lungs and Heart complications and also death. I urge Fresh men of colleges not to use Drugs and Alcohol because it is a really dangerous and painful experience. I had a classmate in college who died from Coronary Heart Disease, she needed a heart transplant but the doctors found out that her heart was full of Heroin and Cocaine; so she could not find any other Hospitals willing to produce a heart for her because they all thought that she would go back to her usual ways of doing drugs.
