As I get closer to completing my college education (its my last semester) I think what alot of posts like these miss is most institutions focus less on teaching you how to do something and more how to learn how to do something on your own. - Its not about that ridiculous project you had to do that the professor didn't lecture on and is due Monday even through he only assigned it last Wednesday. Its how you deal with that. - Its not about the fact that you can drink yourself under a table and party every day and night Its about how you deal with that. You could do it and fail out of many schools ,mine is one of those, or you could still do well. But either way you have to learn to balance it College is the final playground. The last buffer between you and the real world. Its up to you to make it something that is worthwhile or figure out that it is not for you. Also some of the best people I've met, the closet friends and strongest connections I most likely keep for life were made in college. It wasn't perfect and there were things I would do differently given the chance but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything short of figuring out I had something of the caliber of what Bill Gate or Mark Zuckerburg found they had on their hands.
