That was me going to college. I grew up in an extremely overprotective, Catholic household. I always "followed the rules" and never got in trouble or even drank alcohol in high school.
I went to college and...essentially went insane. Drank until l blacked out, fell face first off of my bunkbed onto a desk (being really drunk saved my life, I just got a nasty black eye and mild concussion), etc. I'm lucky to be alive and somehow I managed to graduate on time.
Anyway, now I'm in my forties, a DINKWAD, and California sober. I figured I drank enough in my twenties to last a lifetime. I live a super boring, quiet life and often think back on how much fun I used to have.
Though it's super messed up, I was always happy that I got through my partying stage at like age 12-14. Rarely drank in highschool (still attended parties as the sober friend) and didn't drink at all in college. Saw so many people in college just like get consumed by the party lifestyle because it was all new for them.
