average college students academic
life affect their social life and vise

Interview


1)How do you balance your academic and social life?
I just get what I need to do academically done first (sometimes) and whatever time I have left over I do social things.
2) Do you use the same form of communication in each community? if not what communication used in each community?
academic- emails to communicate, meetings with professors. No cuss words or less cuss words and more formal speak to make teachers think
youre all into school.
Social- a lot of texting, calling more fun not emailing at all. More humor when talking and more stimulating conversations because you are
talking to someone you actually want to have a conversation with
3)How does your partying affect your academic life
sometimes I push my academic things to last minute because I'm partying and sometimes just forget about assignment because I'm too busy
partying or going out
4) On a typical day, how much time do you spend socially vs. academically
90 percent social ten percent academic. I spend most of my day eating with friends, playing dodge ball/ basketball and going out. Then get
my homework done fast or at the end of my day,
5) Do you think other college students act the way you do towards their college life?
yeah I think some do a bigger percentage are ore focused on academic than social life but there are some on the same level.

3-4 days a week


Porter, Austin, 3, March, 2014.
Observation
On March 26
th
, 2014, I observed Austin in his social community. On Friday night We attended
a party at an apartment near campus. Before the party Austin drank 6 beers then put the
other six in his book bag to have at the party. Plans were made by texting two friends on his
phone. When meeting up, calls were made as well as texts. From about 9 to 3am we were
out and about drinking and socializing. When finally arriving home Austin went to bed
around 5 am. The next morning, We got breakfast. Austin showered napped for a bit and
then discussed what the plan was for Saturday night. The weekend went on like this and
Sunday night was spent watching football in his dorm.
Monday morning I observed Austin in our anthropology class, The first thing that came to my
attention was how quiet he was. He spent the class listening and taking notes. There was a
few moments where he fell asleep but when it came time to answer clicker questions he got
them all right. After class he did homework for about an hour that night.
When observing Austin I noticed that on the weekends he only socializes. On weekdays he
does the same but completes school work when needed. During class he listens to the
teacher and seems to already know the information. Although he doesnt spend all of his
time on academics, he does well in them.
College drinking and Drug use

White, Helene R, and David L. Rabiner. College Drinking and
Drug Use. New York: Guilford Press, 2012. Print.
Substance use among college students can result in serious
academic and safety problems and have long-term
negative repercussions. In order for these consequences to
be reduced, both individuals' high-risk behaviors and the
culture surrounding college drinking and drug use need to be
changed. This book focuses on the latest research on
students' alcohol and drug use to provide useful suggestions
for how to address
However I do not agree with this book at all. I think some
students have drinking problems while others are just relieving
stress and having fun after a hard week of classes.

James Paul Gee
In this chapter he talks about Discourse and discourse which is what this project is all
about. He provides a lot of examples of both discourse with a capitol and lower case d.
This helped me know what I need to find out when interviewing and observing my topics.
It talked about the language in each community which helped when I interviewed Austin
and asked him which languages and communication he uses in his academic and social
communities. Gee also speaks about dominant and Non-dominant discourse's. This
helped me understand and be a part of Austins academic and social community.
