I'm think that my college experience is going to be sum up into two easy categories.

The ten years I spent in community college.

And the subsequent two at a regular college.

or something like that.

I couldn't stand the year and a half I spent so far at college! I never smoked, drank, partied, got laid, or did anything fun (mainly because I had to fucking idea where to go to have fun). I spent each weekend driving an hour and a half home, just because I couldn't stand the pig-stye of a dorm I lived in (the Honor's College can pull off some serious grades, but they have yet to figure out what a toilet is for, and how to use it!).

It isn't that difficult to get some B's or even A's in your first couple semesters. All you do is show up to each class, do the suggested reading, and get the homework done on time, and you're pretty much guaranteed a decent grade. The trick are the general physics classes, dynamics, statics, and some of these really annoying pre-engineering classes. The professors refuse to actually teach the material by rote, so you have to piece together their half-assed lesson plans, and teach yourself the material, because they're "too busy" to help you understand the stuff. I ended up taking a dynamics midterm, and the class average was less than 25%. I managed 10%, yet I did more work and showed more meaningful equations than some Honor's College jackass who managed 30-40% on his midterm! When I went to the professor about it, he wasn't going to take the time to check over my midterm, because it was a "judgement of a judgement".

You can't trust the professors, or the cops for that matter. In case of a rape on campus, which occurs far less often than those bitchy women's lib bimbos say, the local police offer furthest away from the crime will be dispatched, while the squad car just two blocks down the road will hold it's position to gawk at the chick getting raped, and suggest the perp use a condom!

my first year of college kicked ass. i had the best roommate ever. there was always someone in my dorm to hang out with. my college is in orlando so there's always something to do. i got to spend as much time with my boyfriend as i wanted. and i took all easy classes so i didn't have much work. college is the best. i can't wait til i go back again. good luck with your first year.

I'm gonna start uni in September and I am really hoping it goes well. My main concern is my social lfe, considering I don't drink or go clubbing I'm wondreing if that'll effect me making friends and such...

Very likely.

I don't drink and dislike clubbing, and I had a good time.

Students are a tired bunch of people. They're always tired - either from studying too much or partying too hard.

Damn, Otohiko, I hope that it's time for that increasingly icky avatar of yours to leave us soon. Was it Thursday you said?

DUDE, Otohiko!

Your avatar is CREEPING me out a lot MORE than last time!

Anyway, I hope everything is alright. I'm pretty nervous about college. It's practically a 6 hour drive from Connecticut to upstate New York.
