So, I have moved away to college. I graduated from Community in December and here I am, recieving a higher education and drinking so much coffee that the people at Starbuck's on Campus know my name.
It's really a great and I love it here. It's nice to be on my own, mostly because I live in a dorm and I don't pay have to actually pay rent, but hey, who's counting that?
If anybody tells you that College is real life, they are lying. College is like this weird transition between childhood and adulthood. Sure, some people are out there really working to support themselves and maintaining the status of full-time student and I commend them. However, I would say that most traditional students, probably spend more time microwaving ramen noodles and debating which classes they can skip and not get dropped from the class roll.
If you are reading this and debating whether or not to go away to college: JUST DO IT! Real life can wait. Marriage can wait. Getting a real job can wait. There are few experiences like living away from home but still being considered a kid. It's like this whole new crazy world that you get to experience for the first time, it gives you the chance to just hold off on the workforce a few more years while actually learning something of value. Aside from the advancement that an education gives you, college is just something you shouldn't miss out on. There is always something going on. Also, there are free t-shirts. Everybody in college wants to give away free t-shirts and you can't miss that bandwagon!
