Why do kids drink in college?

Do most college kids drink because we don’t know what else to do to hang out? So many people these days seem to not enjoy the simply things in life. What did we used to do with all our friends? Why can’t we still do those things now-a-days? As a kid, I used to ride my bike all the time, play video games, watch TV, watch movies, play tag, play hide and seek, play capture the flag, and even just mess around in the cul-de-sac I lived in. I would love to play all these games and do all these activities still today if people wouldn’t look at you like your childish and immature. I wish I could play tag outside, play a game of capture the flag on the drillfield, or even play tag on a certain park of campus. I think I would enjoy that more than drinking almost every weekend and it would probably be healthier for me too. I think as we get older, we set this image in our minds that those were all childish things and can’t do them now because we r grown up. People think drinking is a grown up thing, but just because you drink doesn’t mean you’re an adult. Just means u drink. Doesn’t me shit otherwise. I think mature people would really see that we could do both and still be mature. I mean, when were you the happiest in your life? I was happiest when I was a kid, running around outside playing tag and capture the flag with all my friends. And I miss that a lot of days. I miss the joy that came from something so simple. How come more people don’t notice this and make a change? People in college think drinking is a good way to relax because no one really promotes tag or capture the flag instead of drinking. They all suggest to do them both while drinking. As if alcohol will make all things in life more fun. Everyone thinks college is this great place where everyone sees and where people do crazy things like drink, have sex, and do drugs all the time and that life is easy. I think it should be a place where we find our inner child, find what job we want to have, and what we want to learn. Why cant it be like that? I wish it could….
