How do I deal w. pressure w. friends in nursing school?


I've worked so hard the past 4 years to focus on school and get into nursing school. To be a nurse around 23, 24 is a big goal of mine and since i've got accepted it's been my top priority. I've had to deal with kids my age (21 crowd) trying to get me to go out clubbin, drinkin, partyin but i haven't. It was never really my thing and I've gotten pressure by turning it down. Yes, there are times i do have fun but it's been mild.

One of my good friends also got accepted into the program and we have MUCH to do for next week. I'm challenged/intimidated but am ready for the work and the sacrifices that come with. I'm somewhat annoyed of her now because all she wants to do is go out. It's break this week and we should have fun but i feel that she's having more fun than focusing. Nursing school is a b**ch and i don't wanna be behind but she's been pressuring me to go out with her. She's even been trying to use a special friend as bait for me to go out.

HELP

ever since she broke up w her long time boyfriend she's been going through this weird phase where she wants to go out all the time and everytime i'm out w. she'll get drunk and guess who gets to take care of her? Also she'll put all her insecurities on me and it's not fun. I love her dearly but I don't want her ruining anything w. school because it worked soo hard to get here.

Just party some other time and get things like: Clean your house or apartment, go to the store, do your errands. Tell yourself if you get them all done tonight, you can go out tomorrow night. That is called "delayed gratification" in psychology terms. Do it. You will feel so good about yourself tomorrow!

well just do things at home with her.like watch movies,cook some dinner,order some pizza.if you must go out dont let her order alcoholic beverages ,order some soda or something.dont let her drag u down.
