The most efficient way of ruining your life? That's an extremely cynical, and in my opinion, immature view. If your "life" consists of staying out partying all night, drinking too much and abusing drugs, driving recklessly, etc, yes, children will make that difficult.
Actually, I rarely drink too much, don't touch drugs and don't drive. Are you assuming that anyone who doesn't have children is a drunk, stoned dangerous driver?

You have said yourself that Children are time consuming. Therefore they would prevent me spending time with my friends, which is a big part of my life. Children tie you down, meaning any career decisions would be influenced by them. Although I'm still a student, my career will be an important part of my life. This is why I think children are a bad idea. Because they hinder the really important things in my life.

If you think that all a life consists of without children is "staying out partying all night, drinking too much and abusing drugs, driving recklessly, etc," then perhaps it is a good thing you had kids.
