All of your time at college doesn't need to be filled with work. There are plenty of other things to do as long as you use your time wisely.

It is possible for students to have fun in college without neglecting their grades and work. Most colleges have concerts, movies and other activities on campus for college students to enjoy. In addition to these, there are clubs, intramurals and sport teams to join.

Even if college students want to go out and party, scheduling their party time on a Friday or Saturday night would be a wise idea that would allow the student to socialize but not jeopardize their studies.

When college students first attend college and want the opportunity to be on their own and be more grown up, learning to manage their time is of utmost importance. So is making smart decisions, and college students need to learn how to make these decisions.

One of the many temptations on campus are the fraternities and sororities. These groups while they do some community service are often times just party groups. College students need to make responsible decisions regarding these groups and others which may take away too much time from their studies.

Some colleges offer or require some type of community service. Habitat for Humanity, while work, is often a fun activity where the college student can meet others and have some fun. New relationships can be formed with other students who have similar interests as you.

Scheduling your classes for times which allow you to get enough sleep is also important. A college student whether they party or not can often be very involved with campus activities and can miss out on much needed sleep. If possible, a student can schedule classes later in the morning or afternoon and still get in all the classes they need.

There is also exercise, which is important and can help the student stay more focused and energized. When a college student is rested and energized and having some fun at school, studying doesn't appear to be such a chore.

Celebrating holidays can also be fun for college students. Even something as simple as Halloween, can be fun if the student dresses up and either goes to or has a Halloween party. Some colleges offer students the opportunity to entertain neighborhood children at a school sponsored party.

Some students form study groups. These groups can be fun and also helpful to the students studying habits. Working with others can be social as well as educational.

Some college students enjoy video games, listening to music or watching movies. Bringing game systems and games to college can be a great deal of fun, especially if you can play with your friends. You just have to make sure that you don't spend all your time playing them, or watching television or listening to music.

There are many ways that college students can have fun and party without hurting their grades. A lot of it depends on your ability to manage your time, and your desire to succeed. If college students have some of their own money invested in their education, I feel that they tend to take college more seriously. Maybe, that is the key to their success.
