And I know dozens of people who haven't gotten married in college OR "forsaken" their childhood and free time for the sake of growing up.

The college experience in and of itself is growing up, and everyone has a coice as to what extent they want to push themselves.  If you grew up "more" than the guy next to you, that's a purely subjective opinion; you have no idea what they have been through- you and everyone else is of the opinion that they are superior to the person next to them, it's human nature, and it's validated by onesself uner the guise of "overcoming hardship," "perseverance," or whatever nonsense someone wants to bring up to make themselves seem better than someone else.  Growing up comes in more forms than one, and it's recognizing this fact that means that you have truly grown up. 

Now please, stop bickering over this bullsmurf and lets get back to the thread, it's been very informative and it's good to hear about peoples experiences and opinions.

he told you to shut up too you know.

I will say that once you get in 2 or 3 years you've got study habits down well enough and you met some people in your field who stand a chance of graduating, college gets pretty sweet.

That's another thing, don't get so hung up on making super best butt buddies with people the first year, lots and lots of kids will a) fail out b) switch majors and suddenly never seem to be around or c) transfer.

But see, it's true with me...

You are unique, just like everyone else.

{said in drone voice}We are all unique. We are all individuals

Oh but it has, since freshman year is all about figuring stuff out on your own.

Oh, and work on your Beirut skillz before you get to school.

Please don't beat me Marc.  Please?

um plaz thats would be the cue for the peer pressure talk m'kay? you dont have to do that if you dont want to. though if you never get a one in, you're probably so drunk already that it will sound like a good idea.

lmao, nice.
