Alcohol

I do not know how those kids do it, but hopefully they will realize it someday. In my experience in college, I have realized that alcohol has had a very bad impact on my choices and academics. Although my grades this semester have improved from last semester, I have not picked up a book in two weeks. I went to Arizona to visit this guy that I know from high school and all I did was drink when I was there. Once I returned, I had to work and I have also had a lot of stupid things to deal with ever since. Somehow I managed to drink thursday, friday, and saturday. Each night I did not get home until around four or five in the morning. I do not know how I did it, but I made it to class on friday. I do not feel as if I have a drinking problem because I know I do not need it to have a good time. I am shy and when I drink I do not feel shy anymore and just walk up to random people and talk to them. It is really hard for me to make friends when I am sober because I choke up and can not think of anything to say. Also, I can not dance but when I am drunk I have! so much fun dancing and laughing with my friends and the people I meet. Somehow alcohol is easily available and people want to drink with me so that is how it usually starts. There are many bad situations where I feel could have been avoided if I had not been drunk. I think that I need to get back in the habit of doing all of my work before I party and then I will be fine. The only bad effect alcohol has on me at the moment is that after a night of drinking I can not find the energy to get up and go to class. I am getting better at it though. Alcohol has definitely helped me out in meeting people here. When I go out and get drunk I always manage to meet new people. I am a people person and I love it when I come home and tell my friends about the new people I met. Some of my really good friends I have, I have I met at some party or another. I have not had any terrifing instances yet with alcohol, but I think that some day something bad is going to happen that will be because of alcohol.
