college- best years of your life?
« on: August 24, 2004, 06:22:34 pm »
Ok, I have heard almost everyone say that college years are the best years of your life. I'm in college now and they have been the some of the best days of my life so far, but I still don't know enough to know. What do you all think?

to calm the storm in my heart
i've never been the praying kind
but lately i've been down upon my knees
not looking for a miracle
just a reason to believe"

I would say yes, and that you make some of the best friends during that time.

i'd rather skip highschool and go straight to college. high school is sooo boring. the only reason i like high school is for all my music classes

college seems like a lot more fun

Mine were alright....

Not exciting, but not totally boring either.....I had a couple good teachers and that helped.

Yeah, I agree with the HS bit.  I left after 2 yrs

I'm still in uni (still have 3 years to go!) but I'm loving it so far :) However, it's very different to what I know about the usual American college experience cos almost everyone lives with their parents throughout uni years, like me. As for friends, I am in class with some of my friends from school (whom I've known since I was 3!) so in that sense it's not that huge a change either. I'm still seeing almost the same people I did when I was at school, except for the few who are studying elsewhere.

I have to say, if I had to choose between school and uni it'd be pretty tied, my school was great and everyone got on so well, I had loads of fun every day. The thing that makes uni so special to me is not the day-to-day fun I had at school, but the general freedom that you have to go here and there, party, etc (which I guess is more an age thing than a uni thing), and the fact that you can relax for 3 months then study like your life depended on it (which, heh it does) for just 3 or 4 weeks each term. With school it was more about constant work, but a lot less work than uni.

If you are an alchoholic college is fun  :wink:   .  I wasnt that  into parting and being social though

I hope not.

College is fun, but definitely not that great.

I'm thinking when you're out on your own, living life, married or single, finally having acheived what you set out to do, that's the peak.
I think you underestimate the level of my sneakiness

I'm not in college yet and I'm going to see a Navy Recruiter Wednesday.

I dont think I want to go to college yet, I want to travel and be apart of the Navy.
