I wish i was still as young as you. Not that im much older. But there is just something so unsetteling about finishing your second year of university. Its like you dont want it to ever end, but there are constant reminders that it will end. I swear to god this is my 4th quarter life crisis.

But have faith... My cousion who's 30 has a good job and still gets high every day, and still goes out to clubs. Sure she's been married once, but hey... thats life.

if thats true then you probably wont have to pay for much in college. ive been working part time jobs since i was 14. my parents paid for some junk but i bought a lot of it(car, paid for dates and gf stuff, shit i wanted and didnt need). i have a few friends whos parents always paid for theyre junk and still do even in college. finding jobs in college isnt all that tough though.

happy 18th.

but college is not like the real world. im actually graduating from university in less than a year and I still don't even feel like im anywhere near the real world realm.
so what i suggest is enjoy every single moment of college and party it up, travel if you can.

i'm finishing up my first year of college and i feel old as hell too. But at least in my experince, college is easier than high school. you do some work, but mostly it's just a huge party.

he's absolutely right. i mean, sure you have to read more, study more (if you plan on succeeding), but college students party harder, and are up to way more mischeif.

Psssssh, you're still young, I'm 21.

btw - college KICKS ASS and is NOTHING like reality. In fact - it might make you more dillusional. It's a big party, study hard, play harder.

Life after college is fun because you have money, and you don't have to worry about exams, projects, ect... On the other hand it sucks if you get a day job. Its a big shock knowing my friends are skiing 2 or 3 days during the week while I'm fucking working, I'm still not used to it.

College/University life can't be simply classified.

You can say it's a huge party, because there are huge parties to join in on. At the same time you could be studying all the time and trying to get something out of you thousands of dollars of tuition.

With my small amount of experience, 1 year, I've have seen people take both routes. Getting wasted in the middle of the day, failing 3 or 4 courses in 2 terms etc, or acing every class.

One guy i know came in with a $5000 scholarship, which is what tuition costs, minus his res living. He's telling me about it and how he is a genious etc, whatever. I never got 90s in high school and this kid did, but at the end of the year, he has a C average, no more scholarship, and I was able to get an A-.

Another person I've met studies like it's his job, and ends up with 101% in calc I and physics II, 100% in calc II, A+ in everything.

Really, college/university is whatever you decide to make of it.

don't worry, college/university is NOT the real world. you think you're getting old but your best years are definitely ahead of you. and dont let the guy above me scare you, it's definitely possible to live it up and do well. if your smart you can party very hard and still have the time to pull good grades.

sorry to scare anybody, i was just speaking about a few people who i knew this year

from the people i went to school with this year, i know about 20 people who failed at least one course, and several who dropped the program either entirely, or dropped there second major

as an engineering student i've also noticed the general belief that any non-engineering subject is easy

if you think about it 18 is soooo young, like my parents always talk about stuff from 20 years ago like it was yesterday. think about it your not even half way to 40 and 40 isnt even old. i think it goes like this 0-9 is really really young, 10-24ish is really young, 25-30 is i dont know, 30-40 is not old, 40-50 is growing up, 50+ is just plain old.

two words of advice,

stay in college as long as humanly possable.
