When I ascend to the next plane of education

[cuddlefish]

Is there anything besides

1. Guessing what teacher wants

2. Hating admin

3. People thinking it's a good thing that teacher is a fucking moron because it's college, school for BIG KIDS

4. Turning into a frothing grades monster around exam time

5. Calculating grades by one's self

6. Discovering chronic depression

7. Discovering alcohol

8. Constantly being in danger of going home due to effects from either one

9. Being upset about it

10. Starving

waiting for me at college? If so, please explain to me what that is. I would love it.

I've heard a few too many stories of people getting screwed over.

Do NOT go away to college, because yes, it screws you up and screws you over. If you do go to college, try one close enough for you to live at home. Seems to be working better for me, at any rate.

So all that stuff happened to you, then? I can understand wanting to lve at home because living in a dorm can be exhausting. I did it at Cushing for a year, and I felt like I never had a real place to relax. Sharing living space with someone you don't know well is nothing I can recommend to an introvert. So is talking to teacher-things and making cuddly FRIENDS with them, hanging out in a common area with a bunch of people lounging around on top of each other, using the phone at all, and Getting OUT and Meeting New PEOPLE WOW!

This isn't justification, it's me noticing that jesus christ, is there any way going away to college WOULDN'T be miserable for someone who isn't outgoing? And is that fair?

(And for everybody else who's reading this, I'M NOT WHINING. LEAVE ME ALONE.)
