By the end of this, most of you will either be thinking, “This guy is completely right,” or “Just shut up, nerd,” and that’s perfectly OK.

I came to The University of Alabama to get a degree. That’s it. So for me, it’s hard to comprehend why anyone who has to spend all day in a classroom would want to spent the entire night before partying, then try to manage to stay awake through all those said classes.

But, I don’t have to understand it. I have no right to tell other students to stop partying. However, I do have a suggestion. Just save it for the weekend. Three days each week, you’re free. No alarm clocks, no classes, just whatever you want to do.

Because, as a “student,” I actually like to be able to stay awake in my classes, and the 2 a.m. screaming has got to stop, at least on weekdays. Really, it’s a win-win. You still get to party, and we all get that nice little piece of paper to frame in a few years.
