I'm in college about to graduate the upcoming May in Petroleum Engineering. I feel since I've gotten to college I've done noting but scrap by. I'm always running out of money towards the end of the month and somehow have to survive by lying to my parents that I need to go to tutoring. I spend most of my money at the bar. I go to LSU, a big party school. I want to find a girlfriend and I feel the most efficient way is at the bar because all other times I'm trying to study or going to class. I always seem to lose my debit card and have no money for days. I've gone to the extremes of stealing food, alcohol, and even study drugs due to no money. I can't seem to get something going. In school, I always wait till the last minute, cram my butt off for these hard engineering classes. I don't know if this is normal for college kids or I have some kind of dysfunctional personality. The amount of ridiculous stories, some I'm proud of and some not, I've had in college seem to tenfold my friends. I see my friends who have girlfriends and are responsible in studies and spending. I seem to find a girl not as attractive after hooking up, and the ones I do find attractive I mess it up because I'll be blackout at the bar. I start the semester out great, but always end poorly. It wasn't like this in high school. I hope it's a problem that ends once I graduate and start being completely responsible for myself. Any comments are appreciated.
