How many of you absolutely HATED college!!???

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

The main obstacle I see what that you were lonely and didn't have a social outlet that you wanted. It's tough for people, especially shy, quiet, or nerdy people, to find their group if they are not actively searching, and then you have to have a level of ease with yourself, compassion for you and others, and sense of humor that will let you live and be you in these settings.

How were you out of class? Were you active anywhere off campus? Online? Seems like even if you weren't in college, you would have been depressed. It's cool though because many people need time to learn about themselves, and this time when they tell you you are supposed to have the best relationships and experiences of your life, you were just beginning that journey. And so it was hell. Hopefully it does not feel like hell anymore for you.

I had more friends outside of class actually than in class. Mainly because I was already older, most of my friends were from the scene I was involved in as a DJ and an artist. Those days were spent with me DJing (I had a residency at a club in Pittsburgh back around the winter of 2008), doing radio mixshows on CMU and Pitt radio stations, skateboarding, smoking pot, and not even caring about school. Honestly, back then, I just wanted to be out doing my own thing cause I could just relate to people more outside of that environment and everytime I was in it, I just couldn't relate to people there cause they just weren't interested in the same things as me and I just didn't really find them interesting.

How old were you when you graduated?

How you think Law Students feel? Medical Students? They're in school till they're near 30.

I didn't finish college until I was 23. Had my MBA at 25.

The only thing that TRULY sucked, was my senior year, a few people I knew, that were my age, had already Graduated and started working, while I was still in school.

But once I got out, I had a good job, was still making good money, and was like "We all in the same boat now, what was I even trippin' for back then?"

Only other thing I hated about college(kind of a personal let-down) was that I didn't get into any legit fukkery, no binge drinking, no getting high, no running trains on broads, etc. I don't have any crazy college stories, but considering the school I went to, it's a good thing I don't cause I'd probably have a criminal record too.

27.

I graduated in April of 2012.

I didn't get any play with women in college for the most part either. I was a loner and a half.

Congrats on graduating

I'm just happy not to be there anymore and living in NYC!

 

[Ego Noir]

LOL. Not really...I just think I was in that environment for too long. I'm actually a real calm and down to earh person when you get to know me. I just like to express myself and interject my weird (and sometimes dark and brooding...admittedly) personality in my posts.

There's a reason why college should be done in 4-5 years. Anything else, and you just get to become too old and can't relate to that lifestyle anymore. I felt like Van Wilder or Billy Madison. I guess it was part fear of the real world and part dependency on something where I didn't have to try to make a living.

To be honest though, I've always felt like the educational system held me back because of it. That was 20 years in school from kindergarten. I just needed to get away from that and now that I am, I've never been happier!

For me as I got older I stopped hanging with the 'crew' and moved dolo more often. I felt too old for that group mentality.

3/4 of the way through college is when I realized it was all a scam and began my journey to find myself. I was pissed that everything I was told about how life works and 'success' was a lie. I was about to be thrust into the world the first time I felt legitimately lost

But I took the lesson and KIM. I'm still trying to put things in order, but I wouldn't trade those years for the world.

I learned soo much

People talk about this as being your fault, but it really isn't. You can have good social skills, be fun/interesting, but if you don't "fit in" to a group, you'll probably be alone. I knew a lot of people like this. They were on good terms with people, and they'd have friends in the classroom, but when the weekend came around they were on their own because they just didn't fit into a particular "clique".

College is basically highschool 2.0 in terms of the social scene. Don't let anyone tell you different.

I struggled in high school too as far as "fitting in" the stupid social hiearchy there was...so I'm not surprised I didn't fare well in college.

I just ended up hanging out with the punks and the stoners in both HS and College. Everyone else wasn't really fukking with me like that.

Why you bytchin' up about it then if you done breh? If you hated it, throw it in the bushes now that you done and don't speak on it again. You made it out in one peice, you won, you got the "W".

I didn't get any play with women in college for the most part either. I was a loner and a half.

You spent all that time in college and ain't get NO girls?

Come on, you ain't have to be casanova in college to get girls. I don't got stories on par with them athletes, but I still managed to have some fun. That was one of the upsides to undergrad.


Them grad school broads was all engaged/married so they wasn't havin' it.

I can relate somewhat....I didn't fukk around in college for 7-8 years....I just didn't start college until I was 21. From 18-21 I stayed home and worked. And at 21, I decided to finally enroll. So now, I'm 25 years old and a fifth year senior graduating this May (don't judge me, transferring colleges shorted me some credits ). I feel like I lost out on a real college experience because eventhough I blend in and look the same age as everyone else, I'm so over the college experience at this point. My freshman year I had the time of my life because at 21, I was still a bit immature. But by last year, my junior year, at 24 years old, I was sitting in class like "what the fukk am I doing here? im tired of this sh*t :arabhuh:


And even though I'm graduating, I still feel loserish at times because my peers from back home are well into their careers, have houses, wives, kids etc. So sometimes I feel like instead of succeeding, I'm merely catching up The silver lining I guess is that in 30 years, it won't matter that I graduated at 26 instead of 22.

The coli is like therapy. I'm finally learning how to let go of the past and get rid of the collossal chip I have on my shoulder from being in school and finally getting out of it. Talking about it helps, even though no one really cares.

I got with 5 women during my college years...but 5 women in 10 years in pathetic.

I thought that when I got more into shape that I could meet younger college girls since I had a car and a place, but Pitt girls are really stuck up and conceited princesses. I didn't like dealing with them at all and they weren't even worth it.

I lost my cool when I was 23 going on 24 and no closer to finishing my degree than I was previously when I had to take an algebra exam. After studying for it for days, I went in there and flipped out cause I didn't know what I was doing.

The test looked like another language. I just wrote a big "I DON'T KNOW" on the front page of the test, wrote about how sick I was of being in this school, threw it on the desk, left the classroom, knocked over some file cabinets in the hallway, flipped over some tables, and before I left the building smashed a glass window with my bookbag

The next class, everyone else in there was scared and had their hands over their heads down on their desk like this

They probably thought I was going to the joint too.

The teacher started the class and ended it early and had me transferred to a statistics class. He was told by other kids that they didn't want me coming in the classroom at all.

I was really depressed and angry back then...I'm glad those days are over.

I don't hate college, but it was boring as hell. I made the mistake of not living on campus, I didn't because I live 20min away and it's expensive. I think that would've changed things drastically. I just hate school in general, though. Plus I was undecided for a long time at first and didn't know what I should do. I made a business decision to get a degree that will get me a good job after college, I picked accounting and will be graduating this spring.

Well that sucks. What they don't tell you is that socially, most people don't evolve past the high school mentality. All that changes is that people won't say shyt to your face and will instead just say it when you aren't there, and your parents aren't there. shyt like social hierarchy, social status, cliques, all exist.
