Ever wondered how to have the best time at college parties without a drop of alcohol? Drawing from personal anecdotes from my own college days at UC Irvine, I share the art of maximizing social enjoyment by choosing the right activities. We discuss the importance of front-loading your studies before big events and explore other rejuvenating activities, like engaging in sports, to keep your mind sharp. Our aim is to help you enjoy your social life to the fullest while staying on top of your academic responsibilities.
Learn to prioritize your personal well-being by setting boundaries and making intentional choices. In this chapter, we emphasize the Joy of Consciously Opting Out (Joko) to combat the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). By consciously selecting activities that truly bring joy and fulfillment, and learning to say no when necessary, you can manage your time more effectively. We also highlight the importance of prioritizing personal relationships, helping you foster a balanced and enjoyable life.
