[quote=Anonymous]I am the opposite, I did a whole bunch of stuff I regret in college.

i drank a little bit in high school but not much.  had 1 boyfriend my senior year and into freshman year (1st year).

I went to UVA and would pretty much say I was a functioning alcoholic by senior year.  Drove drunk a few times.  I blacked out once and wound up in the hospital too.
I went from not believing in sex before marriage to sleeping with the guy I loved and thought i'd marry (right at the end of high school) to sleeping with someone I loved, to sleeping with someone I liked, to sleeping with someone I thought was hot when I was completely bombed, over and over again.

I blame both the social culture at UVA as well as myself, but the atmosphere there in my experience (and at so many other colleges but I only have this one that I know first-hand) was no official dating, just hooking up, fraternity parties, and drinking in apartments.  I also worked in a bar on the corner.  Very little else social that I remember (a few concerts).  Football games were about sneaking in bourbon or getting plastered beforehand and then wobbling through the game.  Foxfield was about tailgating and again, drinking, not really about horse races.

It took me until just after college to realize - 1) I can't hook up with randoms anymore 2) I can't use alcohol as my only way to relax 3) most people in the real world DATE, and don't just hook up.  I actually almost had my (now husband) almost break up with me because the only way I would be honest with him was when I was bombed drunk when there were things I didn't like about our relationship.  I just didn't know how to be an adult.

I sometimes wonder how much the college atmosphere that I experienced contributed to my abusive behavior.  I really do feel like I'm lucky to be alive sometimes, and I don't want that to happen to my kids.[/quote]
