Energy Drinks, Smokes, 3:00 AM, and Oblivion...
I really cannot wait for the days when I don't have to worry about completing a term paper, or study non-stop for a final that I probably won't remember 30 minutes after taking the damn thing...College is almost done for me and I am actually quite happy about it.
I know that in "3 years" I will probably think back to the long, sleepless nights spent sitting in front of a computer screen and become nostalgic, but in truth, college for me was a lot like the timeless slogan for pledging: "The best time of your life you never want to do again."
College was great. I made more lifelong friends than I ever thought possible, I gained a new respect for alcohol and other recreational substances, I learned more about life in four years of being hungover in class than I could have ever learned in grade school. Being hungover in a three-hour seminar class will really build character...haha...yes it will...
Though there are many aspects that I will miss, I truthfully don't think those will ever be able to topple my excitement for starting a career and living on my own. The thought of being able to actually afford something other than Natty Light is quite satisfying. Now, don't get me wrong, Natty Light is just fine, but I would much rather relax to the bold flavor of a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, or maybe even a whiskey on the rocks if it was a long day at the grind.
I dont know, it really hasn't hit me yet that I am done college, hell done with school for all intents and purposes, but I do plan to go to grad school at some point down the road.
As for now...time to reduce the student loans ten-fold...boy that is something I can't wait to do...(insert cynical look here)
