Moderation is the key.

There's a reason that National Lampoon-style parodies of college life resonate with so many of us: It's because they're largely based in truth.

But for some, the unbridled freedom that college life affords can lead to unwise choices that can have damaging and far-reaching consequences. Remember why you're really at college – to learn, and to set yourself up for a long, successful life. Don't undermine that by making stupid, shortsighted decisions.
