Well, I love the life I live now! I make decent money, have a decent car, and the single life is one of fun and a bunch of partying, but I know I don't get down like I used to in college! How many of you myLotters miss the college days? Were you concert goers, game cheerer-onners, or what? I miss the pledging days and the wild frat parties!

I liked going to classes, meeting potential new people, observing the environment, etc. What I don't miss are homework, term-papers, exams, or any school work. Still, life does not have to be dull after graduation.

No, I don't but I miss high school life. I was an active student on campus, the cheerleader at school, stage actress, etc. In college, I was also big on co-curricular activities but nothing beats high school days because of the excitement of having crushes. LOL

I missed my college days for about 2 years after my Bachelors and now yipeee!! I am back in college again to do my Masters. Off course I agree when we work we have money and we can probably buy all that we wish for but college life is different. You tend to do a lot there, We used hangout on weekends and we had a common get-together corners where we would sit and chat for long. There were days When I used to go on a night out ride on a bike with friends. All that was so much fun.
We will miss all these when we work. But in my case when I was working I was still in touch with my friends and we would go out quite often.

well, I can not tell you that because I will be in college next year. I am 18 years old and I have to study a lot now to get to the univercity I want. I've watched a lot of movies for univercitys I wont tell names, but the life there looks so awesome. My inner my tells me that this is fake you know, 80 % of the movies are fake. But I am an optimist though, life there is awesome because you meet a lot of friends and most importantly chicks. But the number one priority which we must have there is Study !!! That way we make our future more easy. Greetings from Bulgaria, have a nice day.

I miss my friends, teachers that have made a great impact to my life, the hangout sessions, the fun and of course the free allowance I get from my family but the requirements, exams, assignments, endless quizzes, projects, A BIG NO-NO! My family has always been encouraging me to pursue medicine but I totally rejected the idea because I was never the diligent type of student, I always procrastinate. I cram during exams, and I cram when I make assignments.
Have a great day dellesimon45!

I miss it so very much. I miss hanging out with my friends. Making a project with my friends is the most unforgettable moment for me. My life after college is totally different. I have to work hard for living. It's exhausting.

I did miss my college life at the first two years after graduation, not too much now. The old time was good, but I can't always live in the past days or my memories. I need to move on. But yes, I will never forget that period of time, the people and places.

Most people enjoyed their college life, but for me it is the college life that I love the most and is missing it now too. I have had good friends, and everyone's crazy in the classroom. We usually have outings and spend weekends in some friends house to drink and watch movies. Sometimes going out with all of them too

I do miss my college life. I am pure college student whom has no job and being single. There are so many beautiful activities that can't be replaced right now. Hanging out with my group, just sitting on one of the bench at campus without doing anything but only talking, laughing, or just do unimportant game which make us glad. On this life, I also don't have much duty and responsibilities as now, so I only thinking of myself, my friends and my college assignment,without thinking of the tiring day to look for much money.
On the other hand, the college life has unhappy parts too. The time whenever don't have enough money to buy anything I want, so I have to ask for it to my parents whom makes me feel uneasy cos I become dependent and feel shy to them. The million assignment that I have to do on time sometimes be big burden. It is also for all of the bad events happen at that time which hurt me, altough it makes me become thougher and wiser now.
Simply, I do really miss that time but I don't want to get back there. My life is right now, in the present not in the past. No matter how great that life was, it was still the past that have gone but it can be rejected that the past has made what we are now. So, enjoying my time right now is one of the best way to make my whole life be great time without any regret feeling and my future becomes brighter.

When I was still finishing college, all I ever wanted was to get over with it. I want to finish it as soon as possible so that I will be stressed free of exams, demos, reporting, assignments and etc. My college life was actually a routine (not to mention everyday exams) and I find it boring and stressful.
After I graduated college and passed the board exam, I woke up on a morning where I found myself thinking what to do and what's next for me. As I look at my batchmates now, we're all in a split and trying to find out what's life has to offer to us. I don't really mind other people, but I do mind my friends. It's been a routine on my part that we are always together but after graduation, we seldom hang out now since others are still reviewing for the board exams and I am soul searching for what I really want in life.
I never thought that after graduation would be another challenge to find your purpose and be stable for future purposes. I miss my college life where all I have to think about it passing everything. Now, all I have been thinking is a bigger picture of what my life would be 10 years from now.
Thank you and Happy Mylotting ^_^

Yes I miss my college days! I miss the after class gigs. The traumatizing exams given by our professors. The non-stop chatting with friends and the battle of the bands, the sportsfest but most of all I miss the simplicity of life back then. I never had to worry about money and problems like I am having now.

For me, not so much.
College was a very tough time and I spread myself out too thinly. I was attending classes. I was running the school newspaper. I was working at a fastfood restaurant. I lived in a small cramped dorm with a hideous bathroom. I often had very little money. I also didn;t have much of a social life because I was too busy. I never partied in college. I was one of those very few who never tried to smoke and never went out dancing. I was so busy trying to do so many things. Needless to say, college is not the pasrt of my life I look forward to reliving. High school, maybe, but not college.

Yes, indeed, I very much miss my college days. It has been some years already, but it is always like just yesterday in my mind. I miss the the times we spent with classmates, before classes and after classes in the evenings. The football games is the time when the campus really gets crowded !

So much!!!
the time when you care nothing but the party,Hang-outs, night life,friends,love...
those are the carefree days when you are not ask to strive hard for living.
The days when all you have to do is study,make friends and enjoy.
Very different from the life i have after college graduation.

Of course I do miss my college life. That life was just amazing, bunking classes, teasing teachers, girls, everything was awesome. And bunking those boring classes and going to parks or theaters. We used to enjoy a lot. I wish I would have never finished my college life. Not like failing all the time. I mean to continue for 5 years in the same college. And I believe that maximum number of people over here miss the college life. Isn't it?
