I'm not a big drinker at all. It just makes me sick to my stomach when I do. I feel like that is all that there is to do here. Most of the time I just go to the rec center so I don't feel bored or feel miserable. My friends are always like you need to go out and get your mind of work and your boyfriend; and I agree with them but I don't want to go to parties or clubs all the time, once awhile is enough. I don't find any fun with people wanting to or being "trashed", mostly because I end up taking care of everyone. Where I am from yes people party but there is so much to do, the beach is 5 min. away and New york City always has something entertaining to do. I just want to know what else is there to do here?

I feel you on this one, I am from L.A. and it's just a whole different thing out here. Being on a sports team definitely helps me pass the time but I understand where you are coming from. As far as things to do around I have no clue because i haven't found anything that i'm used to doing but i'm sure there is stuff around it just depends on what you like to do. Worst come to worst you could always be a hunter right?! haha
I would like the answer to this too! I'm frankly getting sick of this school & what it has to offer so I've been going home every weekend. I feel your pain!
I agree with you. Being in college is hard enough with the constant drinking so being in a sorority doesn't really help because we constantly have parties. Last weekend instead of contributing to the club scene my friend Kevin and I decided to go to the Mountain Lair at twelve and watch the movie The Lost Boys. It was so much fun we got nachos and a movie for free. WVU tries to hold activities for the sober kids, definitely check out the WVU website to find stuff.
Hmm. I was thinking about joining a sorority. I though it might help me make some friends. I guess I have to get this place more time but every time I meet a friend I like, they are ending up transfering next semester.
I completely agree, WVU's Up All Night is a nice option to have where you can have fun without going to the clubs. Up All Night is every Thursday-Saturday and it really is a nice change from going out and partying everyyyy weekend. I constantly feel like I'm doing the same thing. Back home, there was so many things that we could do that were fun that didn't involve drinking.
to answer your question... is there "social lives without booze!?" Yes there is! WVU is one of a few colleges out there that offer tons of activities, sports, and clubs. They even have a state of the art Rec Center. If there was something that you were interested in or fond of back home, don't forget about it! Bring it to WVU, get a new club or activity started and that will get your mind off of drinking and partying and it will even help you meet new people who have the same interests as you! :)
I feel exactly the same way you do. I have a boyfriend back home too so im not trying to meet any boys and I dont drink. When I go to parties I am helping everyone and holding all my friends hair back. Where is the fun in this???????? I try to go to the rec everyday and I watch football games on tv and I am hoping to go to all the games at my school. Try to get involved with the school and find friends that share common interest. My room mate and friend are just like me so we always find something fun to do at night without drinking
