Life of a College Student: How do I overcome the aspects of college life?

[ElderKingpin]

the greatest benefit might be a high school friend that wants to go to the same college you go to. (For example one of my friends wants to do engineering as his major when he gets to college. and hes considering the same college im going to, and im also majoring in engineering)

A friend that lasts from

Kindergarten to Elementary to High School to College = Best Friend

I truly wish it would occurred to me to have such a friend who would stay together with me since childhood, but unfortunately for me, I moved out when I was in elementary.

Just "live your life, hey, no tellin where it'll take ya".

Yeah some of your people's advice... it sucks.

New plan for you: Ignore all of this, and that's about all I got.

"live your life, hey, no tellin where it'll take ya".

Basicly, yeah. People spend to much time pondering over what to do. All they have to do is live their lives.

If you want to party hard, score a lot of chicks and get tons of one-night-stands. If you meet a girl you love, make her your girlfriend. If you want a proper job, finish college. If your dream has been working at the MC Donalds, quit now and start already. Its only like connecting the situation with your most obvious action, a 4-years old could do this.:thup:

If you want a proper job, finish college.

No, you can get a good job without college. I HAD a really good job at a shop a little bit ago, but then I got layed off because someone had to leave.

 

[ElderKingpin]

Well. A person can go to college and still get layed off >.>

 

[Varine]

Yes. They can also go to college then not be able to get a job because no one wants to hire a political scientist.

I thought they could get all sorts of part-time jobs in a college...

Usually, yeah you can, but take into consideration that right now there are a lot of college grads and people trying to support families that would be more than happy to have one of those part time jobs.

Hm...that does not sound so good. Thanks.

Tom Mai's college life post - hell man you practically grew up here

 

[tom_mai78101]

Not sure if I should give myself an update.

Basically, after college, I went into conscription, and then moved out to go study at a grad school.

Life at grad school is more fun than college, though it's just 2 years there versus 4 years in college. However, college back then is way cheaper than grad school.
