47. As long as you get your work done and you have everything in order it is okay to enjoy your college years and party every now and then. Everyone is capable.
College is an chance to advance yourself to get a good job and suceed in life but at the same time your only young once so don't waste your youth or you may regret it later in life and also don't waste your education because that too you will regret even more. my advice don't get carried away....

49. To Jessmayroyo,
Your statements are the thing that is ridiculous. "Countless kids in hospitals, life-threatening behavior, peer pressure". What are you talking about? Do you happen to work for FOX News? You're skewing the facts a little. True about 1,500 students die of alcohol RELATED events a year. That includes: vehicle crashes, falls, and other unintentional injuries. That also includes when other people are drunk, not just the student. I mean, it happens. Actual deaths because of alcohol CONSUMPTION don't even compare to that. Something like 90 over a 4 year span. How many college students are there? 12 million undergraduates. 12 MILLION, and you think there aren't 90 idiots out there who will drink themselves to death? 1,500 students out of 12 MILLION. They just screwed up. It HAPPENS. I have been going to parties for about 5 years now. These are parties with like as many as 300 people there. No one gets messed up like that. No one has ever died. No one has ever been in a car wreck. I think that sometimes people go a little bit too far with the accusations of the "binge-drinking" and the "peer pressure". When did you go to college? Peer pressure is not defined as one frat guy saying, "hey, want a beer." Also, everyone is old enough to be responsible for themselves! If you give in to peer pressure when you are 18 years old, you shouldn't be in college. You aren't ready yet. Go back to your mom's house where she can tell you what to do for the rest of your life. I understand people die. I understand people get hurt. The tone of your argument almost like a hyperbole in comparison with the facts. 90 deaths out of 12 million(that's just the undergrad total students, the 90 deaths was taken from grad and undergrad together) over 3 years. 1,500 deaths, from related incidents, out of 12 million undergraduates. I just can't see where your outrage is coming from.

50. Well, I am a current college graduate, I really don't miss college, they say that it is the best four years of your life, yeah it was ok, i did the party hard and work hard thing, dont regret anything i would go back to college if i had an easy major, but if you are a science or a engineering major, i wouldn't go back for all the money in the world, real life is good, you get to work you make money with a real job, not flipping burgers anymore and you meet different people from aspects of the world, I don't think I will ever miss college, so what is my advice to upcoming freshman, well party hard and play hard, plan your major as soon as possible and definitely do a semester abroad I suggest Hawaii!!!! if you are a science major good luck!

53. No you retards.
This point of the video is to say that your kids are really getting the education you paid for.
Because at the end of the video he said: "You can speak in code if your parents are watching."
And he's like "Ok... start classes?"
That was obviouslly like his code for the opposite of party!
Duh, maybe you kids need some education, because I'm 99% sure that's what you all are lacking.
No hard feelings. [:
