Responsibility of Drinking

I think that students are 75% responsible for the amount of drinking that goes on and around there college. Students have the option at every party of drinking, wheather you bring it yourself or you get offers from friends or the party serves it to you. Drinking, however, can be avoided. If you want to avoid drinking, just don't go to the party or go to the party and don't drink its as simple as that. Some people who do not drink go to parties because there friends are going and they don't want to be left out of things. Those people most likely get pressured into drinking by there friends or party members because people love to pressure those who don't drink into drinking. Some people don't like to drink but they do anyways to fit in with crowd and not be the only sober one. Students are 100% in control of there own drinking habits but there not responsible for others. The drinking around campus's is out of control for every campus around America. Whatever college you go to, you will find at least one group of students who drink reguarly either on the weekends or just all the time. This is inevitable because college students love to party. When I am at parties, I make sure I know my limits and I am always with a group of friends. If students knew there limits and did not make as stupid choices while intoxicated the campus's wouldnt have major problems like these.

Gender Gaps in Enrollment

In Rodriguez's article, an interviewer, Albert Cruz, stated that he didn't go to college because "work would interfere with classes" and hes already making "more money than some people who go to college." I don't think that these reasons are legitimate and well thought out. What if Cruz gets laid off from his job and he can not find another one in that field? Where would Cruz resort to? Cruz is taking the short way out and should at least learn another skill as a backup. Most people will have a job there whole life and college should be alittle bit of a prep for that. You learn alot of things in college in and out of the classroom and everyone should have this experience. If I were Cruz's friend, I would tell him that he should look into night classes or just giving his classes another chance and ask his boss to cut his hours. Education is the key to everything and expanding your education is one of the best things you could do.
