@JakobJeanCiccone, no it pretty much sucks. It's where people go to spend money they don't have to learn information they don't need for jobs that do not exist. Having a college degree doesn't mean you're smart. There's an overabundance of morons with them. It just means you're ignorant with class. But if you're lucky, you'll find a decent paying job with that stupid piece of paper with fancy words on it which you can work to pay off the mountain of debt you accumulated by going to college. Congrats on graduating tho.

@JakobJeanCiccone, Mechanical Engineering student here: my philosophy is that if you are enjoying college you probably won't learn anything that will help outside of college. Don't get me wrong: it's ok to have some fun at college but your main purpose in spending 40k a year there us to learn a trade that will help you earn that money back. There's nothing wron with wanting to graduate ASAP but ke sure you apply or jobs and internships so that you can have a future outside of college

@JakobJeanCiccone, real talk from a 25 year old that got out of college/grad school a few years ago. College is only as fun as you make it, and there is no way to party like an animal and still get good grades in a demanding/useful major (i.e. not business/psychology/etc) while remaining physically and mentally healthy. I picked the path you’re on where I focused on schooling. Never went to a single party. At my school the majority of students went Greek anyway, and I didn’t like the idea of paying hundreds to thousands of dollars to buy temporary friends I would never see after graduation. Fast forward to now and I have a stable full time job in my field, all my college loans are getting repaid fast due to my job choice, and I have never ran into anyone from undergrad in the real world. Put the time and work in, and the rewards will show in time. That’s a fact of life.

@JakobJeanCiccone, I don't know, I rarely go to parties and focus a lot on school, but I live with fantastic people and let myself do many extracurricular activities. It can be busy, but I'm having a wonderful time. Part of it is definitely point of view though, so look up, my friend, it can only get better from here.

@Facebook Memes, freshman in college here. i had a reaaally sh!tty high school experience. im only two months into college and it kicks fvcking a$s because im not afraid to do anything, i become friends with every guy and flirt with every hot girl and for some reason which never happened in high school im good at flirting and the girls talk to me too. all i wil say, is all the fun college is producing for me, is coming from interacting with others. and rightfully so, as that was something i was too anxious & afraid to do in high school

@JakobJeanCiccone, it’s 100% about who you surround yourself with man. I’m a senior and college has been my best experience so far but that has nothing to do with parties or girls or the town I’m in it’s 100% the friendships and relationships I’ve made. Get involved with something if you haven’t yet bro. I know everyone says that but it helps a ton.

@JakobJeanCiccone, college, like everything else, is what you make of it. Works comes first, but beyond that you have freedom and choice to have great experiences with friends, at parties, meeting new people, and doing things you never would have gotten the chance to otherwise. Have you established a good basis for friends and stress relief? It’s key; I’m a mechanical engineer so the workload is damn near crippling but with a little bit of time management it’s just that, manageable
Honest question, is anyone else totally miserable in college? I keep being told that it's supposed to be the most fun and amazing years of your life but I cannot wait to graduate in June and have it finally be over. Makes me think there's something wrong with me.
