 What is college like?
My college years have been the best of my life so far.
But I can't say what college is for everyone, I can only say what it was for me.
I firmly believe that college is what you make of it.
If you want to learn, it's an amazing learning experience. If you're willing to work hard, they're the most satisfying years of your life. If you want to make lasting relationships and valuable contacts, you can't find a better place to do it.
Through clubs and honors societies, I've made some of the closest friends I've ever had. Two of whom will be my bridesmaids (*if he ever asks* :roll: ). I had all kinds of fun, meaningful, and valuable opportunities like volunteering at the Humane Society (with a charity group), & getting an extremely useful internship which really showed me what it's like working in my chosen field. I also had the opportunity to do original research which may have a small (but hopefully meaningful) impact on the public regarding breast cancer.
College isn't for everyone. But every single person I've known that had the desire, ambition, and attitude gained a lot from their college years - well beyond what they teach in books.
I hope you choose to go to college, and I hope it's right for you.
Good luck. ^_^
