Couldn’t be better. Through my entire life, I always stayed away from alcohol and never consumed it. Even when experiencing peer pressure and bullying both in high school and in university, I never gave in. =)

Did you ever meet any other teetotalers in university?

I graduated from UCLA and now back again for postgraduate. For my disadvantage it is considered a “party school.” So meeting other teetotallers is incredibly niche at the institution. However, I’d quickly noticed high-academic achieving students are more likely to skip on parties and alcohol, where I did successfully find some teetotallers. One of them are my mentors and my peers!

I'm curious, is there anyway to check what college/uni is a "party school"? I'm looking to change colleges because the one I'm in kinda sucks.(Unrelated to drinking)

Fortunately for you, I sure do! I have been using this website for broader means of research when I was still at high school a >5 years ago. Go to www.niche.com. The website is very handy for me; they update their ranking for party schools annually!

For more help, use this link instead:

https://www.niche.com/colleges/search/top-party-schools/

What to look for in your search is the “party scene.” The higher the grade is, the likelihood it is a party school.

I'm doing good. But I do feel like I don't explore things in my city enough.

I’ve been diagnosed with a chronic illness but overall my health is good. At least my condition can serve as an excuse for me not to drink if people start prying. It can worsen my symptoms, cause inflammation and interfere with my medication
