Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat, but hey, YOLO!!

I read an interesting story here (which you also need to read)about us people,us!!
And they say YOLO means You Obviously Lack Originality, really,can you imagine that? Do not even get mad at that,read more. For us young people that is. If you are "old" do not feel displaced, read and share, it is fun. Why are people always talking about us?
It is weekend again apparently, approximately mid month. They say it's the middle of the month, things are hard, but somehow we(I) still get money to rave, and remember I'm on repeat mode we rave every weekend only stop to sleep and eat, I know you want to judge us me(us) but hey man YOLO!
I know this sounds cliché btw, but let me just say it; You Live Only Once is a literally wrong statement, why you ask. We live everyday and die only once, another way of saying that you have only one shot in this life you waste it, it is gone like, gone like chaff with the wind.
Not that I am the "holiest"  guy or that "holier than thou"  kind of a guy, I got my own way of living.
Today hedonism is a lifestyle. We got no regard for the bright future ahead. Funny I'd say bright future. Yes bright because no one wants or would want to have a "dark"  future ahead (isn't the opposite of bright dark?), well at least not willingly.
In the world of copy-pasting assignments, that is university for you, a lot of things go down. For example partying is the coolest thing you can do. You are the coolest "peeps"  if you had the most ratchet weekend. You are the person everyone would want to hang around with. I won't say anything about the guy who had gone for Bible study throughout the weekend.
Is that the only way to stay "cool" you  would ask? Where does a student, who doesn't work or has no investment, get money from? I'll help you get some free info.
Parents get the most ridiculous of excuses from their sons and daughters, but mostly sons because the money is used on the daughters. Get the math don't you? We mint money from our parents, and they for they do not want to disappoint us, send the money. HELB loans. Won't say no more.
Just a year ago I was in 1st year, I'll be in 3rd year next semester. I did not realize why time has moved so fast until one lecturer came in and said we only have 13 classes (we just began a semester btw). So I was thinking why do I have to pay a lot of money just for 13 classes? In a semester?
I pay the money then what? Sit for 13 classes then do the exam and move on to the next semester? Then I realized that maybe it's not just about the unit plus several other units. I'm yet to find out but I'm sure eating sleeping raving and repeating is not exactly what we should be doing.
Getting high is fun, cool? Somehow you will do all that and still get a bright future, well that is you, your partners-in-crime back then? Partners because probably right now they wouldn't be your friends, they are broke or still in suspension from school or worse never graduated. Or better still you made new partners-in-crime.
To you my friend, don't succumb to the norm, be different, network, do everything you can do to get there (keep it legit). Grow yourself.
Then again you will rubbish this, but hey man, YOLO!
It is weekend again back to the cycle, let me get back to it, slept the whole week, I just ate...
