  I am in 1st year of college, I don’t drink, and I am failing.

    Heavy drinking is considered irresponsible through your bachelor’s. After that it’s considered “networking” and “building professional relationships”. With the implicit usage as a coping mechanism

      Not just in academia. This is true for corporate life. There are happy hours left and right which are as much networking as they are excuses to have someone else buy you drinks

    If you’re not joking, reach out to your college’s academic support/tutoring centers. They’re literally paid to be there and help you with your classes. Even if you understand all the class content already they can still help you with whatever you’re struggling with, like figuring out how much time a project needs or how to get it started/organized.

    I struggled my first go ‘round in college 20 years ago and wish I’d known that, now that I’m going back I’ve been using the support systems the college has a lot more and it’s been paying off.
