You will pick up pretty quickly that your daily schedule in college will introduce you to an ample amount of free time as compared to your extensive days of class in high school.  In college students will be drinking all day everyday and you will be more than tempted to join.  You one – hundred percent should join your friends during your free time to have fun but that should not be something that takes away from getting your school work done correct and on time.  If you have a big test on Friday morning and your friends are pressuring you to go out partying with them on Thursday night you better be able to make the right decision on your own because no one is there to tell you no.
