you should party man. college its all about partying and getting smashed!
maybe you could have your own party
i thought college was about learning and achieving a goal like graduating.
no college is all about partying and getting smashed. trust me.
college is not all about partying. do whatever makes you happy. i’m sure you can find people who don’t party either to hang out with :O)

I agree with Snowflake and Boz– if you are happy, then do what you are doing. If you feel left out, then join some other clubs/groups who are involved in other activities. There are many students who don’t party at the university campus near my home–they rock climb, kayak, volunteer for things, attend the campus events.
College is a place to learn about as many new skills, different cultures and as much knowledge as you can.
dude if you dont party at college when will you? after you finish and get full time proffesional job? oh maybe when you get married and have kids… thats when the real party starts.

In my opinion, partying is highly overrated.
You put yourself at risk, you ask your body to process stuff it has no business trying to process, and afterwards you end up tired, maybe sick, and maybe embarrassed.
Now going dancing, hanging out, having fun– all good. Loading the spine of two carbon atoms attached to five hydrogen atoms and a hydroxyl (oxygen-hydrogen) group (or worse) into your brain–a little scary.
im in the same situation, used to party all the time before i went to college, then this fall when i started freshman year i partied so much less, ive only been to like two parties since august…me and me roomate just hangout and watch a lot of tv..lol…it kind of sucks but we just havent met a lot of people yet, probably because we are best friends and we didnt try hard enough at the begining of the semester because we were cool just hanging with each other, now i feel like its too late because everyone has there groups and stuff :\
you said you feel leftout. but you already know the answer to your own question, deep inside. ask yourself “WHY don’t i go to parties?” (because we already know why you feel left out…)
of course if you come to the conclusion that you don’t go to parties because you don’t like partying then you really could find some SERIOUS students to do other-than-partying activities with. or maybe because you are shy? antisocial? noone ever asked you? too busy? care more about your grades? have no money? what? got nothing to wear? party or not, it’s your life, (and FTW)
Been there, done that.
If you dont want to party, it may be your personality. Dont try and be influenced by peer pressure. (Most of the graduate drop-outs and junkies couldnt say NO.)
Be true to yourself and if you make some good close buddies, organise parties where you will all feel comfortable. In my opinion, best time to party is actually AFTER you graduate.
Agree with most, except the party animal.
PS: if you are being left out, start some other activities and join other clubs.
You will be so busy meeting new quality friends you wont even notice the party animals….
Cheers and all the best.
I think that people who paty and just get wasted in college arent serious about their education, and should just quit. College isn’r about going to parites, its about getting an education. But whatever you feel makes you happy, then do that.
