Sleeping Vs. Drinking

Being a college student, especially one embarking on his senior year, desperately trying to avoid thinking about enjoying the so-called "real world" after graduation, I've realized that there is another dilemma which college students must deal with: drinking or sleeping. By drinking I mean imbibing alcoholic beverages so as to instigate conversation and revel in a plethora of worthwhile memories with colleagues. By sleeping I mean choosing to crash early and recharge for another day's exciting ventures. The first choice is popular; the second less attractive yet beneficial to one's overall health.
This past weekend I decided to engage in the latter of those two choices. And let me tell you, it was worth it. I do feel recharged and somewhat motivated, something I haven't felt ever since I arrived on campus a few weeks ago. Sometimes it's not a bad idea to quell the stereotypical-college-student desire to revel in a drunken stupor. Rather, getting rest can often remind someone what the real purpose of coming to college is: getting an education. I also have a tough workout today that will most definitely bring me to my knees, so I need all the energy I can get. Sometimes "takin' care of business" means being practical, putting personal whims aside.
