I miss college
 

So much. I am going through college withdrawal symptoms. I miss drinking 5 days a week and 2 days on the weekend. I miss smokin all day and skippin class. And having not many bills. And easy classes. And chillin with friends all the time. And not many worries. And everything.

I want to go to college full time for the rest of my life. I think I am sad cause I spent 4 1/2 years with so many people I got so close to, and I will probably never see most of them again.

I have been out a year and a half so this is kinda ridiculous.

ahhh yes the good ol days....now that you mention it I miss em too...

My step daughter is going through the same thing, she just graduated two weeks ago...the day after when she was going to leave, she was a wreck! crying because she was going to miss all the friends she made the last four years. Then this past week at her graduation party, she broke up with her boyfriend of four years...go figure! :rolleyes: Now, she's going the graduate school at Marist for two more years. Six years of education after high school? :confused: I couldn't wait until I was out of high school! :D But that was 25 years ago.

I can't wait to be done with college. . .

one more exam on Saturday and Im finished College.. its so close..

Oracle told me not to go to law school so here I am

now I do not and never have missed high school. But college was just so great and so much fun (and easy - I went to school for horse racing) that I'm scared I will never have as much of a good time for the rest of my life. I'm just whining.. I'll go get some cheese.

Yeah, I miss those days...but actually, I miss being young! College was great but even the Army was a better time than I've had since.

I had a friend that became an emergency room doctor. After about 15 years, he burned out and went back to college to become a computer programmer. He tells me college was so much more fun the second time around. Being more mature, he didn't live and die with grades.

I liked college so much, after pro baseball, I came back to work at a college 26 years ago and I'm still here. The BEST place to work and play!. Keeps ya young...unlike which a certain GATOR says!;)

I ddin't even go to college.









Thank my lucky stars for that.

Not even the school of hard knocks???

No.




I am self made.

Thanks to chemistry sets ,erector sets and a very well intended retired couple.

I did pursue studies in a night school way while hacking it along in construction bull phooey.

Don't ya know.

So what 'm sayin' is I'm glad I didn't go to feed the green monster system or drain my parents .



That may cringe some of your faces....





.....but I really don't care.

Morty,
However ya got to where you're at you are ok in my book

Who does that in the first place

I have to have the record of going to the fewest amount of classes possible and still getting a degree.

I would show up opening day for the 10 minutes they kept us, then for the tests I would show up when convenient for me (usually all in one day) and then partied the rest, pretty...actually REALLY COMEDY

Of course I didn't mean you,Dave.

And too kind,but the only reason I even bother is if you went to school and goofed off the whole time ,but you paid for it...well that's great.They help keep the fine staffs at the institutions heavily padded.

But if they stiffed their parents or taxpayers for their 4 year fun fest I hope they're very proud of themselves.


I detect a few like that,but I could be wrong.



I doubt it though.

I agree!

I've been out of college for a long time. Had some good times there. I met my best friend there. We've been through alot together and even today, no matter how bad a day it's been, she's only a phone call away.:)

Graduated about 20 years ago from SUNY at Oneonta, that was a great time. I dream about it often at night as if I was still there and still that young. We drank 8 nights a week and to be able to afford it we had to drink those Genny Cream Ales :eek:

I actually studied.
Did not drink... much.
Enjoyed the heck out of it. Great times.
UT had some of the most beautiful girls in the world.
A good % of them were attracted to nerds/future husbands.
Music was fantastic in Austin late 70's early 80's.

But... been there done that,
I don wanna go back.

Quite pleased with the way things turned out.
Hope all you guys/gals will be also. Enjoy. Turn the lights out when you leave and get on with it. Lots more to do and see.

well said Morte'


I hated college, but i was aware every second how much it cost both my parents and myself (my loan debt is huge) to be there...skipping class and staying drunk all week just never sat well with me...when I felt the need to be a degenerate party girl I dropped out so I wasn't wasting anyone's money or taking up space and wasting a professor's time.
and when i went back---clean and sober, I actually wanted to be there and participate and even (gasp) learn something.

Wow, I don't miss college at all! I mean, I'm glad I went, it was a great experience and I did meet some good people and have some fun. But, my broke-@$$ had to work 2 and 3 jobs all the way through college. I worked at a bar 5 nights a week, then got up at 4 am to study. Cleaned 40-some stalls every morning before 8 am classes. (so I could afford to keep my horses!) I was the chick running in to class late almost everyday, with mud, hay and horse hair flying all over! Then all weekend I worked doing collections for GE. And somehow I still had time to party??¿¿ *AND* still got pretty decent grades. I look back now and don't know how I did it. But I'm glad its OVER!! Now, having said all that, I should probably admit that I just recently applied and was accepted into an online college program to further my education. :O I just finished my first semester(while working 56 hours/week)(yes, I'm a glutton for punishment!!). It was more fun this time around. Plus no one had to see all the mud, hay and horse hair stuck to me! Just remember, every day is a new adventure. You're going to meet new people and have new experiences.New good times!
Good luck!

Did you know Nick Nalli??? He's a good friend of mine from Fort Plain.
I hung out with him there in '86/'87, back then there were about 25 bars in that town!

How can one be so beautiful on the outside.....and even more so on the inside?



Can we...ah say can we have a round of applause here for this admirable example of fine American flesh?

I guess I ran with a differnet crowd. In college, the goal wasto get to med school. At that time, you needed a 3.5 GPA to get an interview. To get accepted you needed to do much better than that.

No, didn't know Nick, I graduated in the Class of 86. Yes Detroit is Hockey Town & Oneonta was Bar Town.

oh really...

figures!

I went to the classes that I was interested in. Never studied much, but just enough. I went for a horse racing degree, I think I had a 3.5 or so for my major and minor, and not nearly as well for the gen-ed's. But i didnt care about the gen-ed's and only went when I had too. It was just an amazing experience. I was able to study the Irish Horse industry in Limerick, Ireland for a semester and that experience will only be bettered if I have a child or win the derby (or both!!). I friggin love Ireland. I should move back there and work there! I just miss the college atmosphere, the "no worries" and the friends. I really want to go back, eventhough I know it would never be the same.

Oh sweet Jesus.

Thats a tech.
T him up.

Attempting to woo a moderator.
It takes me a while but now I understand.

Next thing you know he will go after ateam.

Yes the OST was there.

Zaf,
I also attended SUCO, mostly post grad courses. Since I had a young family at the time, I didn't do much partying there.
Oneonta is still a good town. My, how Southside has grown!

Yeah it is a great town, and I haven't been back for almost 20 years now. Would love to go back & visit ( maybe when I am in Saratoga this summer I will try to make a side trip ). Don't remember much about the South Side, remember eating in a Diner there from time to time and a grocery store we frequented. Spent a lot of time at Red's , Paradise, Dark Horse and yes the OST. Brooks BBQ was the best & I wonder if it is still there.

Not sure about bars, but Brooks BBQ is certainly alive and well. Stop there everytime I go to Binghamton. Reminds me, I am about out of their BBQ Sauce...

It's still there! My step daughter just graduated from Hartwick, so I've been up there time to time the last four years. There are less bars over that time and one she loved was Hanks, it will always be known as the college town on the hill. :)
