The first few weeks of college was...very very loney. It was new and exciting, but I desperately missed my family and friends. I doubt that college will EVER live up to the greatness of high school for the simple fact that my bestest friends aren't here with me.
But yeah, college is pretty great so far and I'm hoping that Sophomore year will be even better now that I'm somewhat acclimated to college life. And USC during football season is just...intense. The days after the Orange Bowl were insanely fun. Parties were going on 24/7 it was awesome ^__^
As far as classes go, I LOVE them. Well most of them at least. Heh, learning is fun in college! If my best friends came to USC with me, I think I would spontaneously combust from my level of sheer happiness.
highschool is awesome, seeing im still in it :D
College was the best four years of my life that I had experienced so far, by leaps and bounds. But the best four years of life overall, nah. I was good though.
yeah me too. alot of my friends go on about going out like everynight which i just can't afford to do. i don't live too far away but it costs over £2o by taxi. :cry:Quote:

College thus far has been a nightmare for me. Two different schools, two semesters, two utter bombs. My life just LOVES to get in the way of my education. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm ever going to get a degree.
Of course I do, but for an admin, you just don't read carefully.Quote:

It is what you make of it. For me, I got to go 4 years without having to work full-time, and I just read books and played on the computer all day and no one expected more of me; in fact people looked at me with admiration for doing it. I got to move away from home into an apartment with my friends. I got to talk to some of the smartest people on the planet on a regular basis. Yeah, it was pretty nice I'd say.
Best four years of my life? No idea. I might die tomorrow, in which case they probably would be the best years of my life. I might live to get married someday, in which case college would probably fall at least to second place. At this point, all I have to compare college to is high school, which was torture.
I don't like it. I just want my actual life to start. I need a bit more of a steady and reliable life. College isn't that from my experiences.
I start my first year at the end of this month....sounds interesting!
Oh yeah, and if anyone is on TheFacebook, add me! I just joined a few weeks ago, but I'm so addicted. :p
College was tons of fun. My university in particular. We didn't have any really major teams, so there wasn't the huge sweeping mass of conformity of a hundred thousand people dressed in the same color and shouting the fight song at the top of their lungs. There were groups for anybody interested in just about anything.
Unfortunately, I needed to work very hard and put my own butt through college (few loans and grants, no scholarships) and working, studying and being married all at the same time gets kinda busy. All my money went to tuition and rent. Occasionally food.
Starving College Student is not a role that is a whole lot of fun to play.
I don't think life will ever be steady and reliable, but I guess I'm only judging on what I've seen so far of it. It seems pretty fluid and ever- changing to me. And I love college (meaning US college, UK Uni), it's harder than high school for sure, but I've been enjoying my time. I do like US college more than UK University at the moment. However, I did spend 1.5 years at a US University, and about 1.5 months so far at a UK University, so I can't really say for sure which one I will end up preferring. I think maybe it was just my group of friends at home, but it seems like there's a lot more emphasis in the UK on people in University drinking alcohol, smoking, and having sex (not all people, of course, just a lot). And in my opinion, the food here is WAY less healthy than American food. Oh... the grease... congealing... ughhh...
