It's amazing how liberal our country is becoming. Perhaps it has been so even before this insight, but I believe that it has become more pronounced in my generation. Away from the constant hovering of nuns and teachers in high school, college life has definitely broadened my perspective on how people act nowadays. Normally, you'd have your wild drinking parties and chimney smoking sessions, which usually induce spur-of-the-moment "sexy time" with people you've met only that night. Maybe it was the alcohol that gave you more courage to approach that stellar stud or gorgeous girl. Maybe it was the alcohol that made you more impulsive and just agreed to "get it on" with this hottie in his or her car. And maybe, it was the alcohol that plainly made this person look attractive to you, when in real life...Hahaha! Just kidding! Hallucinations. Aren't they fun?

Well, let's go on a deeper and more somber note here. Sure, parties may be fun and games and all that jazz, but you must always consider just how much you're going to allow yourself to "get it on". Let's assume that you and your partner have ventured into the green pastures of making out. Yes, not just first base, but nearing a home run—the full monty. You're living la vida loca, bottles of beer in hand, all giddy and excited and ready to try anything because you're just so freaking in love!!! But ask yourself in the morning, would you still be feeling all that great when you realize just how much your recklessness (not love) has cost you? This hangover sucks. Give me Gatorade and my life back, please.

You've lost your virginity to someone whom you've decided to have sex with when you had impaired judgment. That's not fair to either of you. Wouldn't it be better if you were both sane when you decide to do it, and won't be on a guilt-trip because you guys will be married by then? You'll have your security the morning after, and not probably have to battle some lifelong disease because you weren't safe or the rubber you used got torn apart. You'll even welcome pregnancy with an open heart instead of cursing the world and every foul person who conspired to make your life a living hell. Gawd! Save yourself drama.

Be free and live your life as any good teenager's supposed to. Study hard--party harder! Lead the worry free kind of life, wherein you won't have a hangover come the morning after.
