Heaviest Time Of My Life

So for those who do not know me, I am a 22 year old college student. 
I don't live the typical college life. While I still go out and grab a drink or two, I am not completely free like most are. I have a full time job and also a part time job. My full time job is selling shoes. I work about 38-40 hours a week and I get the typical two days off a week. My other job is writing for my schools newspaper. So while I have a couple of days off, those two days are used for doing my stories for the paper. It's all completely overwhelming and I feel like I'm 42 rather than 22. 
I should first clarify that I am completely grateful for the responsibilities that I have. I'm completely lucky that I've been blessed with these opportunities. 
Yet, I'm also not gonna ignore my desire to have the typical college experience. But I think the typical college life has been altered throughout the years.
But should I yearn to get hammered and have my "friends" draw stupid jokes on my body as if I'm a living canvas?
Do I really want to have numerous one night stands to a point where I'm dubbed the sleaziest guy on campus?
I'm gonna have to answer both of those questions with a fuck no.
So what should I do I ask myself?
Compromise.
And listen to more Against Me!
