“The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.” -Chuck Palahniuk
Day Three: My views on drugs and alcohol.
Drugs and alcohol are pretty much everywhere. Alcohol especially in college. My view on drugs and alcohol is that it's your body and you can do what you want with it. However, you're going to have to live with the consequences of doing that. I don't look down on people who do or anything like that because that's their choice. Who am I to judge them? Now I personally have never done any drugs or alcohol and proud of myself for that fact. When I tell people that I've never had alcohol before in my life they usually jump to two conclusions. One, that I hate drinking and the people who do and two, that I just don't like the taste of alcohol. I normally just brush it off and say I just don't drink and that's that, but in reality, the reason is is it's just my choice. I've chosen not to partake in those things because I feel it's unnecessary. I don't need to drink to have fun. If I do, then I'm not going down the right path that I want. What really gets me though is that it's basically the norm in college to basically start drinking your freshman year (or at senior week for us HoCo people). Why has this sort of behavior become the norm of our society? My real question is just why? Why do people feel the need to drink? Again, I'm not trying to make myself seem better than people who do, I just don't understand the appeal. I think TFLN basically sums it up quite well. There's the taste (sometimes), the throwing up, hangovers, drunken actions, etc. Not my thing. The fact that drinking happens to take place at big parties is only a small part of the reason too why I don't since I'm not a big fan of big parties. I've made my choice and you've made yours. That's all there is to it.
