I’m in my fourth year of college now, I did’t start until I was 26, I will be 31 when I graduate. Yeah, I’m doinig one of those 5 year degrees. Actually, it’s 4 years and one semester.
I wish I had done this much sooner, I would be in the same age category as most of the students here. It would probably make thing a little less awkward.
Needless to say, I don’t do any of the typical college kid stuff like binge drinking, dorm parties, frat binders, etc…
My first 4-5 semesters I just hated because all the crap I was “learning” I already knew, or I knew was 100% bullshit. Plus having to write essays and research papers was a major pain in the ass because I absolutely hate writing.
But looking back, those semesters were a lot easier. Sometimes I will take a class that I fall in love with, and sometimes I will take a class that makes me want to shoot myself. Like all these retarded “required” classes.
Anyway, college, for me, isn’t really all that much fun. It’s actually kind of a pain in the ass sometimes. I would much rather be working a regular job in my area of study, than actually studying. Plus, I don’t have any college friends, I’m a total loner here.[/quote]
Age does have a lot to do with it. I was under the age of 18 when I started so college was like a new world for me, free of parents and filled with girls with big booties who wore damn near nothing while sucking on lollipops. I was so focused on my grades though that I wish I had actually let go more…but then things worked out the way they happened.
If I were to start all of that at this age, I would already know with full experience all of the shit I thought I was new back then. That was where all of the fun is.
