College from the ages of 19-22, as told by me.
First off, these are the three or four years in your life where you kinda find yourself. And I can say, from personal experience, that finding yourself is the hardest thing in the world. But once you find out who you are and your honest with yourself, man does the world become an easy place.
At 19, You are finishing your first year of college, you're moving out of a dorm and into an apartment, and you've probably lost contact with over half the people you thought were your friends.You're just now getting all the freedom you could of ever dreamed of. But how in the heck are you supposed to juggle classes, naps, a job, paying bills, having time for friends, Netflix, and shopping every weekend like you used to?! Balance is the key word here. Learning to balance life is a difficult task that takes time and experience.
At 20 most people are trying to figure out exactly what they wanna do in life. We all think to ourselves, "Did I really pick the right major"? You're struggling with the constant what if's in your life and all the questions your parents ask. At this point, your attitude has become that of a typical college kid and you're just wondering why your professor won't round your 39% F to a 90% A.
YOU'RE FINALLY 21. You can legally drink and do everything you've been doing since 15. Does anyone really remember anything about their 21st year of life???
Okay ouch. 22. You're just trying to finish college with any kind of degree, except general studies (which is funny because I'm a general studies major).
This is where the awkward phase of life really hits you. Of the friends you have left, half of them are married, engaged, or in a serious relationship.The other half of your friends are out, literally ALL THE TIME, and your in between these two phases. Half the time you act, speak and dress like an adult, and the other half of the time you're eating cereal and planning on dropping out only to realize you have expensive taste and McDonald's won't pay you enough. You're so close you can taste graduation..but you can't get into that one class you need to graduate.
Well....here's to 23. May the odds be in your favor.
