I sort of enjoyed college. But now I miss school. It's weirdddddddddddddddddddddddd

I enjoyed college back in the mid 90s. Now I'm enjoying football season.

I'm a college senior and I want out of here.

you got a plan? Cuz as soon as you get out and the structure and stability is gone you're gonna be wishing you could go back.

Even with a plan I do miss the structure and stability, but not enough to want to go back. IMHO, real life is more difficult, more stressful, but so much better. Nothing good comes easy.

Football makes everything better.

I'm living the high life. Eat, drink, work, change diaper, do dishes, sleep, repeat.

I hope you're not acting like too much of a freshman.
The freshmen here are acting like freshmen and it's just about old.

haha this thread is a joke. there have been things I've enjoyed yes but now with all the other problems going on right now, I feel like there really is no good reason for me to be here. First my roommate ended up leaving (I'm actually jealous of her for being able to leave) and then this whole thing about not having enough credits to live on campus and I'm still trying to get it straightened out. It's only been like 4 weeks and I've endured more than I feel comfortable handling. I don't know if it's ever going to be better

I rescind this. I have so quickly forgotten my own philosophy.
Everyone has two irrevocable rights in college:
1. To be a freshman for one whole and uninterrupted year, and act accordingly with no fear of retribution for their actions.
2. After this year, to have *three whole and uninterrupted years as a non-freshman and to be able to harbor and express disdain for current freshmen who are exercising their first right.

This is sort of a fun thread, but there is a serious edge to it, too. On the serious edge, know this:

College is a system. If you learn the system and work the system, the system will work for you. if you don't learn to work the system, it will chew you up and spit you out.

Take the time to visit your academic advisor, your profs, department chairs, those kinds of folks. If you ask them direct questions, they'll answer - but you wan't always understand the answer because they've been part of the system for so long that they can talk only system-speak now. But if you talk to enough of them over a long enough period of time, and study - and I mean really STUDY - that college catalog, you'll figure out the system.

That'll help you figure out - and make arguments for/against administration & its rules about - living on campus, appealing grades, declaring your major, getting into a program, transferring, etc.

And I'm not picking on colleges here - the same can be said of any system: the military, insurance policies, companies, etc.

The other option is to buddy up to an upperclassperson who really understands the system and let them act as your unofficial advisor. But you might have to buy that person pizza, beer, football tickets, whatevah!
