College Life?

During my time here at Carroll, I have been making it a habit to be up every night to at least midnight nearly every night of the week. Bearing in mind that I have a class at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. I have no desire to keep these late hours, yet my roommate and my friends insist on this. Why is there the assumption that all college students are to keep these ridiculous hours? In high school I usually went to bed every night at roughly 10:30, and I still would if I had the chance. Just because I'm not living at home or barley a year older, does not mean that my body clock should entirely change. I didn't feel the urge as soon as school started to only do my homework at odd hours of the night, and pull the "all-nighter." I guess what I'm trying to get at, is that I feel that many kids feel the pressure to instantly fall into the college-life stereotypes, and that I finding out the hard (and exhausted) way that you have to stay true to yourself even in this vastly different environment.
