Recently entering college was a true milestone in my life, and I was determined to live life to the fullest. I had started drinking in high school, but that was all the drug experience.

After a few weeks, a friend of mine who had commented on his past experiences with coke finally got some on campus, and I tried it.

I felt great and bouncy, and I was more social than usual, but the come-down was always far too hard; I would have an okay sleep, but when I woke up, the dehydration was horrible. I would feel extremely dizzy and nauseated, but after drinking a few tall glasses of water and passing out for a few more hours, I would be back to normal.

After a while, the every-now-and-then usage turned into a weekly coke night with groups of people. Soon I started buying my own so that I wouldn't have to wait for the weekly session to have some. I often would take a line before a party to get that energy, but it never had the same effect as that first time.

Also, my nose became dry and irritated, and even a light rubbing of it when sleeping would produce pain. Mixing it with alcohol made it more intense and also made it so I didn't have to drink much to get very trashed.

Overall, it was a great disappointment, and having to lie to friends (even other users) about the habit-- not to mention having to endure the physical side effects -- just isn't worth it at all.
