Student Life!!!

Who determines what student life is? I have been talking to a lot of my friends and a lot of them describe student life as, partying on weekends, having a lot of girlfriend, living for the moment!!! What surprised me the most is that most of them  never even mentioned school, which is the reason why we are all here in the first place, I believe. When I mentioned that they did not say anything about their studies, they started laughing at me telling me that "I'M FULL OF JOKES"and that that's not what student life is about, school is no fun and to them student life is just having fun. But that's not how I personally determine student life, so does that make my discription of student life wrong?? I describe student life as, having a lot of studying to do, being broke 2 days after you get your allowance, being single and living your life to the fullest. I believe that we all can describe student life the way we all experience it and not on how the majority describes it. Because we have different experiences, my experiences when I was a first year student are never going to be the same as all other first years, just becuase we lead different lives!!!
