Right on, I don't plan on getting involved in the lot of it. Being 24, I'm just a tad too old for the people underage drinking, and otherwise, I've experienced the bar scene and partying and I guess in some ways I'm glad I've gotten that out of my system at this point.
Besides, I really want to keep a clear head and do well in school, I had dropped out of high school and didn't really understand the value of an education. It took me a long time to understand this, and the bleak scenarios that sometimes follow high school drop outs never really happened to me.
Thankfully I'm not living or having to move away from home, my apartment is maybe three miles or so from campus. I also picked up a part time human resources work study job on campus to make some extra money in between classes.
