Some for better, some for worse.
I started college last month...
as a first year (second year as a first year), I was straight as an arrow last year, good attendance, stayed away from smoking and drugs (I drank on occasion), went to but just one party, pretty good academic wise. I spent most of my spare time on my computer or playing games, days that ended early I went home to play games, I pulled 3 different girls in the whole of last year, socially, it was a little bad...
This year... I'm a little more... rebellious... or such... I've got a bad attendance, where it used ot be 90-95%, I've now dropped to around 65% (I am working on this, honestly), I still do well in the lessons I attend, well, I haven't handed in one assignment due in ICT, or alot of homework... no really, im pretty good. I've started smoking cannabis, I was going to a friends house for a "get together" of sorts, I get there, a friend is passed out on the floor from smoking too much weed, a couple of hours later me and two other guys went outside and I tried weed for the first time, I was shaking as I tried it, headrush after afew drags and I felt great, I had another joint in the morning aswell... Since then I get high 2 or 3 times a week now.
I went to a party recently, I took a tent with me, it was the designated "Stoner tent" we put it up, and got really stoned, and then got drunk... I have another party on Friday (this is pretty much triple the amount of parties I was at last year in just a month or so), I'm taking the stoner tent again, same plan as last time, sounds like fun to me. I've pulled 3 different girls on multiple occasions, one of them even became my "friend-with-benefits", which was pretty cool.
My life has changed, almost a complete reverse from last year, instead of being socially awkward, I've become "pretty damn cool" (my friends all agree, I'm alot cooler now then what I was), but at the same time I'm slipping on my education, I almost gave into the idea of quitting college and just getting an apprenticeship, I have to say the main thing that motivates me for college is my friends, I fucking love them.
TL;DR
I've gone from being socially-awkward and academically good to socially-brilliant and academically under average in some aspects.

Quite the opposite for me. I was really social, every weekend I was binge drinking, constantly smoking weed in my first year of Sixth Form, but this year I'm paying much more attention to school.
Still smoke weed though, and just recently I tried shrooms, awesome :D
