As a guy in his very early twenties, I have to say this is some of the best advice I've read on this message board.

This is something a true adult understands. I know I still struggle with this. My decision making skills aren't great and I am working to mature in this department. I think I'm getting better though. Just last Wednesday I was invited to a party that started around midnight that was obviously going to have a lot of alcohol involved. The problem was that I had a final exam worth 14% of my final grade the next morning at 8:00AM. A few years ago, I probably would have been dumb enough to go and show up tired and hungover for a big exam the next morning. This time? I didn't go and got a good 8 hours of sleep with a solid breakfast the next morning and no hangover. Could I have gone to that party and had a great time? Yep. Did I? No, because I knew I had something more important to take care of.
