What has the world come to when it takes a bumper sticker on facebook to impart wisdom?

I saw one today that said:"1. Good Grades 2. Enough Sleep 3. Social Life. You can only pick 2...welcome to college!"

That is completely true and the reason for all my problems. Because good grades are non negotiable. And I really like my sleep so I am not willing to give it up.

But here's the thing. I don't think I'm missing out on a social life in an attempt to get good grades or enough sleep. Because I managed to get good grades senior year, but I was completely willing to lose sleep to stay on the phone until 3 in the morning. I did what I had to do to have fun with my friends and get good grades, even when that meant sacrificing something like sleep.

I've come to this realization: I don't have an interest in socializing with the people I've met. But when I meet the right people, I'll know it, because I will be willing to give up other things to spend time with them.

So maybe I'm failing college life. But at least it's by choice.
