I Am In College

College: One Big Lie

By: Manders
Written on May 9th, 2008

 College is nothing like anyone ever tells you. I'm so tired and stressed out all the time and it just sucks because I don't drink and that's all anyone ever does.

I feel like I'm drowning in ennui. 

The best years of your life?

Hardly.

    Hey Manders-



    Not to tell you what to do or anything, but I know the reason I drink is because most days college makes me so angry, and I just want to go home and drink. I hate college, and it is definitely NOT the best years of my life.

    College is very stressful. I know first hand also. I don't live on campus though so I feel like I miss out on a lot. Then again I can't really party like a lot of the students 1-because I actually care about my grades and want to do extremely well and 2-I am married and I have more resposibilities than the average college student, plus throw in the part time job. lol. College is NOTHING like I dreamt of growing up.

    hah i know exactly how you feel! i hate all the stress of college. i take 5 classes all the time because i just want to finish early, but taking that many classes is so stressful! i work part-time too so i hardly have time for myself at all. college really sucks, but i should be done this year(hopefully!)



    Let's just hope its worth it right?
