:: Purposeful Death Overhead ::

I'm beginning to undertstand the difference between High School and College.

I know, its second semester of my sophmore year, and how is it only now that im coming to all these conclusions?

Missed work, missed labs mean make ups, and some bureacracy of a system where sometimes you can get away with far too much and sometimes get screwed over even if you have legitamite reasons.

College is about going to all the events you can because even if you vaguely heard about them more often than not they are phenomenal, and and you end up learning so much about culture and music, politics and art that its a shame not to go simply for the fact that you want to hang out in somebody's room for six hours doing nothing.

That's the other thing about college: You can spend six hours in somebody's room doing nothing.

You can't get away with the same stunts; the excuses, the missed classes. College is about work...once work starts, it doesen't stop. It goes and goes until you're in full throttle of it all and wishing you could get home so you can sleep in a warm bed without someone else sleeping beside you who wakes up at 7 am to call her boyfriend and babytalk while you lie in your bed reminded all the more that you're without.


But. It stops. Classes stop, schoolwork stops. Lunches, dinners, friends, stop (not lunches and dinners persay, but those spent with friends). Back with family, a few friends around, most off at their own schools (on a different break schedule perhaps?). Family wants your time, wants to know when you're coming home, wants to knew where you are, what you're doing. You get to that point, lieing on your couch at 1 pm on a wednesday, where you would rather do anything to get back to that roomate, and your friends, and school.
