College...

... and why everyone is lying when they tell you how great it is. 




College sucks.  Okay, so maybe I should rephrase that.  Not living on campus during college sucks.  I'm sure college is great and all, I'm just not feeling the love quite yet.  The people are weird, I still haven't made any friends, and driving home after school to veg in front of the TV really hasn't helped my social life, which usually goes on hiatus during the summer months anyway.  So needless to say, I have had limited social interaction with anyone outside of "Hey, what did she say the homework was?"  


For some reason, American culture has made college out to be the end-all be-all of adolescent social freedom.  It makes it look like once you step foot on a college campus, you are instantly greeted with friends, freedom, and unlimited social interaction with other good-looking, popular college kids.  Not true.  Don't believe it.  College is nothing like the movies, at least for me.  No parties.  No stories.  No nothing.  Just a bunch of boring people waiting until class gets out so they can go home and watch Adventure Time.  
Or maybe that's just me.  


Regardless of whether it has to do with me, the college, or the fact that I live off campus, college isn't all it's cracked up to be.  At least not yet.  I'm expecting great things from you, college. So you had better deliver.  You've been pretty lame so far.
