I'm 21 -- or will be in a month or so -- but I'm a college student. In my high school all the teachers told us that college would be horrible and that we had to prepare for it now... Well, I never had to pull an all-nighter or kill myself to pass. I manage my time, have fun, and still get on the dean's list! Don't worry college is no worse than high school -- It's not better: 1) My English professor tells the whole class that he needs an 8 page research paper on the Victorian Poetry style in his e-mail inbox in less than 24 hours and never grades the work after we all scramble to get it in!! 2) My math professor gives us the wrong page to do for homework at least twice a week (it gets really confusing trying to find the area when they need you to find the ditsance.). 3) No two music majors conduct alike -- are they going to cue the base? It's a 50/50 chance. 4) Criteria for the majors change from year to year... but to see the new criteria, students have to pay! 5) Underclassmen parking cost more but is farther from the dorms! Don't worry about college... It's not all bad. After the first two years, half my fees went away and I got premo parking
