Secret Life of College Students



Written by Brett Carr & Victoria Quintana


Drugs, booze and fast food, what else can please a college student? Sleepless nights, frat parties, dorm rooms and the endless choice of potential mates sounds amazing to anyone entering college.   At the same time, entering college can be intimidating and tempting.  Not only are our social lives at the hands of our fellow classmates, but college students are endlessly bombarded with homework and finals with no end in sight.  Temptation finally arrives when night falls as the frat parties began and pressure to follow your dorm mates sinks in.   The so called “secret life” of a college student is not so secretive but rather hidden.  Not secretive because a college student rarely has time for themselves to breathe or think in a moment of silence.  Hidden because many college students must choose to isolate themselves in order to escape the distractions of their everyday lives.  College can decide our fate in life which is why we choose to remain hidden and spend many sleepless nights catching up.  Coffee and Mountain Dew becomes our best friend rather than our roomies because they help us push through our hidden lives, in our brief moment of silence so we can achieve that A.
