I just found out/realized that all my friends do something illegal or edgy, like underage drinking or drugs or selling illegal things and it seems like everyone is having sex but me and have interesting lives. I just stay in my room all day and do my homework because I have a lot and I want to get it done. I sometimes play Starcraft or Runescape because it is relaxing to do. I am the safest person I know. But life sucks, because it is boring and I have a lot of work to do that is not meaningful or fun. Should I change? I am in college at this point in life.
Or am I just really gullible and their lives aren't that interesting? And how does everyone else get their work done so quickly?
What should I do? Should I do anything?

My friends get good grades. I dunno about other people. Seems like at least everyone around here does underage drinking though.

Man, I just read this wikipedia article:

and it made me feel a lot better. Thanks for the answers though.

This time in your life may seem meaningless now but later on you will realize just how meaningful it really was.
Accept this stage in your life with the knowledge that the next stage is just around the corner.

I wouldn't change if I were you. You sound like your priorities are right. I knew so many people in college who flunked out because they were partying instead of studying. They probably get their work done fast because they're either cheating or doing it badly. I spent a lot of time studying and don't regret it. Their lives probably aren't that interesting, and if they are doing illegal things they might get caught and that would really suck.

maybe they're not putting enough effort in there work maybe set one night a week aside to have some fun.....trust me ...being the safest person is the smartest thing..........i did all that stuff and look back and wish i would have taken school alot more serious (i hope these people who are having "sex all the time are being smart and protecting themselves') good luck with school and hope you can mix in a little bit of fun....

as far as illegal: just makes life suck more
there are ways to color outside your lines
Jesus said,"I came that you have life and have it more abundantly."
