[quote=Anonymous]My gen Z college freshman has a close group of friends but normally goes to class and back to dorm. He does the activities that his other friends organize and belongs to one or two clubs and some hobbies that he spends time on. Does well in school and lined up an internship or two.

Yes, social media hypes up the amount of fun people are having and anyways these are curated content.  Your job in college is  -
- Do well in studies first and foremost 
- Look for job and internship opportunities in your area of interest/career. Build up a good resume and remember that the most important thing is to be employable with your college degree.
- Keep away from anything that impacts negatively your health, your reputation and your good academic and moral standing in school.  If that makes you slightly boring? So be it.  Majority of students are like you. They are not having a wild fun partying time.  
-  You should try and learn to adult (laundry, cooking, driving, exercising, eating healthy) and be organized.

I think that the one good thing my freshman did was to look for a roommate who was quite, studious, clean, and who did not drink/vape/drugs etc. My kid is more social than his roommate  but he found that being around his disciplined roommate has improved his own studying. [/quote]
