" Does your school have a reputation for partying to hard? The Princeton Review, the super-helpful resource for picking the right college, just released their list of the top party schools in the U.S., and you might be surprised who made the list. University of Georgia Ohio University Penn State University West Virginia University University of Mississippi University of Texas at Austin University of Florida University of California University of Iowa DePauw University  While it&amp;#039;s great to show your school spirit and have a blast in college (after all, it&amp;#039;s the time of your life, right?), hitting the books is important too! Even if your school didn&amp;#039;t make The Princeton Review&amp;#039;s list, check out these tips and tricks on how to balance schoolwork with your social life!  Schedule your classes carefully: It&amp;#039;s okay to look at Thursday as the new Friday, but make sure to schedule your classes to fit your social needs. Some of the top party schools look at Wednesday as the start to the weekend. So if you find yourself wanting a five-day weekend, pack all your early classes into the beginning of the week. That way when Thursday or Friday comes, you can head to class post-party night after catching some much needed zzz&amp;#039;s! Set your alarm before going out: If you do want to go out on a school night, set your alarm either on a digital clock or your cell phone before going out. That way, if the night gets out of hand, you won&amp;#039;t accidentally sleep through your first few classes. Plan your week in advance: On Monday, pull out your day-planner and jot down everything you need to do for the rest of the week. Then create a mental plan of attack for getting all of your assignments done. Then when Thursday rolls around, you won&amp;#039;t have to bail on your roommate to finish that huge physics paper due Friday morning.  Have self-control: Easier said than done, right? But it&amp;#039;s not as tough as you might think! Treat yourself to a little bit of fun for an hour or two and then go back to your room and hit the books. All the positive energy you get from hanging out with your friends can help keep your spirits up for some hard-core studying! Study while getting ready: It&amp;#039;s so tempting to ditch that extra European History review session when your roommates and pals want to hit the town. But instead of saying no altogether and holing up in your dorm, ask a roommate to quiz you while you&amp;#039;re getting ready. Make flash cards that you can flip through while straightening your hair, or review your notes on the way to the party. After all, multitasking is the key to surviving college! Don&amp;#039;t give into peer pressure: You probably haven&amp;#039;t heard that one since sophomore year of high school, right? But peer pressure is something that can affect you all throughout life, especially in college. Just because your classmates and friends would rather party than study, it doesn&amp;#039;t mean that you should feel that way too. College is about being yourself just as much as it is about having fun! Did your school make the list? How do you balance your schoolwork with your social life? Tell us in the comments below!
