It seems that all the past memories are precious,although probably it was a bit boring in fact then.
Since I have graduated from my university for a year,in my point of view I think it is worth spending your time in college.Firstly,we all have enough freedom that we desire all the time,nobody can disturb your life.Secondly,most of the friends you made with in colleage are always your lifelong real friends.They won't play trick on you and they usually treat you sincerely and frankly.You will maintain your friendship forever in later life. Thirdly,we needn't lay much emphasis on how much money we need to earn and how many kinds of responsibilities we need to take in college,we are totally carefree that time.So you should cherish your college time,just go ahead!

I would never trade my college experience for anything! I definitely learn a lot about myself during those years. The first two years were pretty rocky because I went to a big university several states away from home where I knew absolutely no one. There were good times and also some hard times. I learned how to really manage my time, figure out who I am and how to break out of my shy shell. By my third year, I was having a blast. I enjoyed myself so much, found classes/teachers I enjoyed, surrounded myself with great friends, loved my freedom and independence.
I hope you enjoy your college experience as well. Good luck and have fun.

Well I'm glad you completed your goal of breaking out of your shy shell hopefully I can do it too because I'm very shy. By your third year oh what fun thank you I will try and have fun, but I will also try and keep up with all my studies so that I don't fall back and so that I can graduate and work at my dream job.

Keeping up with your studies is definitely really important. That's why choosing your classes and friends is very important because the wrong sort of friends can prevent you from graduating on time. I hope you do well at school, break out of your shell and get your dream job. :)

I loved my college days! Although my favorite was still high school, my college days come in a close second. It's funs because you have more freedom in college so you get to do more things that you weren't allowed to do in high school. Aside from that, you meet new friends that are sometimes your total opposite. You get to be exposed to many different people. And in the process of getting to know these people, you get to be invited to go to places that you've never been to and do things you've never done. You must be cautious, though. You shouldn't involve yourself with bad things. You must start being mature and be firm with your decisions. That comes with growing up. Good luck!

I'm in college now and I absolutely love it! I've made tons of new friends and found roomates that I'm sure will by some of my best friends for the rest of my life. I even work a full time job and go to school and still think it's a blast. Freshman year was a little stessful becuase there was so much to do that I couldn't handle it all, but now that I've learned to manage my time, I can work, study, and best of all party!!!

When I enter college I'm also going to try and earn my degree to get a job that pays good. I'm going to try and get an associates degree to be a medical assistant and then maybe I might go back to college to try and earn a bachelors degree so that I can earn more. Not very fun I hope that it will eventually get more fun for you. Good luck and earning your degree.

Hi anime, yes i can say college is fun, but if you have good and genuine friends only. Because i have always got friends who were really not true and good, so half of my college life has gone in sad moments. I really enjoyed my junior college days so much, i really miss those days. Graduation college has a tough time in real. Hope you have a rocking college life

I agree that college life is the best of all the school life we have because we can get a lot of experience in life, its like more on activity outside the school unlike in high school we are always inside the room.
in college I have many experience like we go to the mountain and learn how to care about nature, go to many places to study and sometimes we join some activity in helping to clean our community.
but not all the college student experience that because some of the student need to work to support their study and some of them need to stay home to study to continue their scholarship.
I think having a positive and great college experience life is depend on the student on how he will treat his/her college life.
all I can suggest is to join all the activity that is related to your studies when you are college and try to join some clubs/organization for extra activity and to fully enjoy your college life.

For me, college is fun. I have a lot of experiences, adventures, and extra-curricular activities during college. I have made a lot of friends, really a good one because we were able to keep each other's friendship even after how many years after college. With these experiences and adventures, I have learned a lot and most of them, I'm still applying in my life. I have experience joy & pain which helps me become stronger as a person.

Joy and pain always do help to make a person stronger, I am looking much much more forward to college now, but I'm just scared about the hard times that I will have there. I really hope that my experience there is a happy one and one that I will not regret thanks for posting and sharing your college experience.

What I'm really looking forward to college is that two of my other friends that we have been friends for a long time were all going to be in the same college and I am really happy about that because were inseperable even though we might be seperated one day still we want to keep our bond alive to be friends forever. Looks like in college you learned many new things, hopefully I can do the same too.

I missed being a college student and I would say that those years were the best years in my life. I have discovered my potentials as well as my strengths and weaknesses. Many realizations in life were discovered. I felt both intense pressure and excitement from school projects. Indeed, it may be considered the best stage of your life.

Here here my friend! College life is a roller coaster ride for everyone but one thing is for sure it will really burst out your potentials. It can be in academics or in extra curricular activities.
Good day!

hi anime college is indeed fun if you also remember you are supposed to be learning as well as going to parties and having good friends. just do not do as I did. I was getting excellent grades my freshman y ear and started in my sophomore year and got really stupid. I quit college to go with a new friend to San Francisco. I ended up coming back home and having to take a job. So I realized when my children were old enough I wanted that degree.So I went first to Junior college for two years I was 48 then and graduated with an aa and four point grade average, then when I was 54 I went to the U of Ca at Irvine Ca and spent the last two years to get my BA and I was 56 when I graduated.but a lot of the younger people really accepted me and I enjoyed those two years at a very good U .So do enjoy
college and also stick to it, challenges and all.I was too young and foolish , I should never have gone with this girl friend at all but stayed and got my degree at a much younger age. but I am now contented.

College was fun, but my last semester I got really burnt out, and couldn't stand the idea of going to school again for a lot of years afterward.

I loved it when I was in college. One of the best few years of my life to this date. In fact, I miss it. I met a lot of new friends, had a lot of fun and I am still friends with them to this day.

I made a lot of good friends and had a lot of fun in college when I was younger. For the most part it was a good experience. I had a few incidents that weren't good but that is all a part of life. There are good times and bad times in any part of life. If you are living on campus you do want to take caution and if you have to walk anywhere late night call for security to escort you for your safety. Don't feel bad about it. They will be glad to do it. Join different groups and get involved. You will make more friends that way. Try to eat healthy. Its easy to order pizza a lot and put a lot of weight and walking is a great stress reliever.

college will be exciting depends on how you going to handle every situations in there, there's a lot to of thing to excite during college one is new friends, rivals and many new things in your life. Joined every positive clubs that will make your college year more meaningful,dont be afraid to meet new friends,be strong in temptation like different vices, and it is up to you if you will be carried away by the influence of different people there or be the one to influence them thats how exciting college life is. so cool everything you think that you can't do in high school life make it rel in college year.
