In college, some of your friends will be going out every single night. Literally every. single. night. However, the age-old question that every college kid faces daily: to go or to not go out?

As a college student, it can be hard staying in while all your friends are going out. It sucks watching your feed fill up with pictures of your friends out. However, if your grades are slipping and you have an exam the next day and you still go out – I have absolutely no sympathy for you.

You are a college student – your job is to do the best that you can so that you could one day have the career you want. Don't expect to be the next CEO, if you spent more time in the bars than the library.

College is all about time management. It is possible to balance your schoolwork and social life. It can be difficult at times, especially if you get heavy FOMO (fear of missing out). But, nobody else is going to do the work for you, so If you have to study and do homework, you really shouldn't go out.

It doesn't make you more or less cool if you went out or stayed in. But, promise me, failing exams and not doing well in your classes is not cool. Slacking off is not attractive. You are paying a ton of money to receive an education, not to go out drinking every night.

If you don't care about your education, then why even go to college? You will save yourself a lot of money and time. It is up to you on what you want to get out of college. You will get what you put into it.

Just because everyone else is going out, doesn't mean you have to. You will not miss out, it probably won't even be that much fun and there will be plenty of other chances to go out. Get your priorities straight -- you will thank yourself later when your GPA doesn't tank.
