>>> I remember that every year the oldbies played some very mean pranks to the college noobs.
I never got into that stuff though..

What's to be nervous about? College is way better than high school! You go to class, you're done, you leave class. Want to miss class? That's your problem. Afraid to get stuck with the geeks at lunch time? There is no lunch time. Hazing only happens if you're rushing a frat, and only stupid people feel the need to sell their dignity to join those sort of social whoreholes [excluding academic and other non-social whorehole frats].

what you've accurately described here is someone i like to call Neel

[lovehurts]

College affords abnormal (exponential compared to current growth rates) amounts of freedom. Also depending on what you study, you will likely only get an academic understanding of the topic in question.

This may/may not afford you a nice life, but basically what I'm getting at is even if you study something worthwhile (science), it doesn't teach you life lessons of value like what to do with you rmoney or that you should pay off visa payments, then mortgage payments, then misc loans, etc etc.

The point is, take college for what it's worth: just a 3/4 year crash course in whatever it is you are paying them to teach you. It doesn't teach you anything else.

Also the nonsense that your parents feed you about getting an education and working hard doesn't pay off. You need to learn about investments. If you don't invest a portion of your earnings, you will suffer after retirement, or (God forbid) if you have to stop working for some reason permanently.

Stuff like that you should seriously think about. If you start now, by the time you get to my age (27) it will be much more valuable. Do some basic interest rates calculations to get an idea of what I'm babbling about.

Oh and there's lots of girls. OMG. And they're almost all willing. :wink:

YES!!!!

Oh and everything else you said, I think it is a wise observation. I need to know more about that stuff. YOu make good points PG.


*rushed back to internet class*

[*ETERNAL FANTASY*]

its not as bad as you think really at first its a little daunting but when you know your way around (which will probably take less than a week) you'll no that its just one big chill out session (minus the exam period, but those times always suck) where you can bitch about your subjects and drink before lectures (well maybe not the latter) but yeah its much better than highschool

lol goodluck

and the people arent as bad cause they're basically in the same boat as you but yes there are more of a variety of girls at colleges or university as we call it here!

There's nothing to worry about. You go to class and take care of business.

I'd already been on campus many times before, so my first day I found all my classes pretty much spot-on. Five hours later I drove back home. Now my schedule is so sporadic that I kind of wish I was a freshman again. But yeah you'll do fine. In college there's no senseless socializing outside of class. In fact most people are by themselves drinking coffee or something.
