leave school during lunch and free periods to get coffee or bubble tea. they frequently go out to dinner on school nights. weekends mean that they\u2019re hanging out with their crew of friends for 48 hours straight. does this leave much time for homework? no. but do they care? definitely not. whether they\u2019ve gotten into college or are still waiting to hear back, many students decide to turn their life into a party.<\/p>\n<p>unfortunately, the partier\u2019s grades tend to plummet, which could potentially lead to things like colleges rescinding acceptances. to avoid becoming the partier,
