College was the worst years of my life. Not a good time for me. The breakout of schizophrenia in those years. Just getting used to the illness…wasn’t good.

It was a social minefield for me too. I met the “girl that got away”. I failed to my degree to boot. I’ve finally got over it nearly 30 years later though

I met the girl who got away too. And didn’t finish my degree either. She was a distraction.

i regret going to college after high school. I should have worked until I knew what I wanted to study. college didn’t work out for me really, but I had a good time. lots of parties no sz. going to do an affordable online program soon.
if I was 18 again i’d go to purdue in-state and study turfgrass management, I would have been a golf course superintendent by the age of 40, then things would be cushy until retirement. maybe in my next life.

Cesspool…minefield…?
what’s that supposed to mean
strange vague response.
I met Fernando in college. I’ve never gotten over him. But there are plenty of fish in the sea.

he’s the guy, isn’t he?
I’ve been following.
@Loke my guy was the Homecoming King, and star basketball player.
I thought I deserved nothing less, and wouldn’t settle. He made his dad confront me. I think his dad said, Nothing wrong with her, she’s pretty.
What do guys know about love at that age? What did I know, @Loke.

Hoo college was so fun for me. I was at the top of every class and the campus life was great. Also I was in my early twenties so there’s that.

I didn’t go to college. My difficulties were pretty bad in high school and i barely made it through that. Then i started self medicating and hopping from job to job. I didn’t take my meds back then.
Men start earlier than women, I didn’t get mine til age 27.

Our school system is different here, so college isn’t really a thing.
My sister is in university, though.
I do remember living in dorms, and I do remember going to school in my early 20’s.
I was struggling. I couldn’t keep up with all the social things. I didn’t fit in, and the others didn’t like me much because I kept asking them to be quiet. They were quite immature and kept talking while the teacher was explaining things.
The teachers decided regular school wasn’t for me, and sent me to a trade school instead. A kind of school they sent misfits. I was diagnosed half a year later.
you get the worst advice
one admit counsolor told me I should take a break off and go wait tables,’
all because I was saying college isn’t working out for me.
I wasted my college years joining fraternities and partying.
What a waste!
