What is college actually like?

I hate college, what can I do to like it better?

• I am a sophomore and I really hate college. The excessive work, the snobby people and jocks at my school, being away 3 hours from home (the only place I feel welcome), everything. The only reason I go to college is because if I don't, I won't get a good job. If I could get a high paying job without college, or if someone on the street gave me a billion dollars, I would never have gone. The only thing about college I like is the long winter break and not having class everyday. And literally, the thing I look forward to the most in college is going home. And to those who say transfer, I don't think that will have a big impact. My problem isn't the specific college I go to, its college life in general that bothers me. I constantly have anxiety about college and its destroying my self esteem and mental health. No matter how many things I try (like joining clubs, and going to parties) I just can't stop hating it. I really try to love college, but it simply doesn't love me back. At the same time, while I understand college isn't for everyone, I would feel real guilty dropping out.

• Answer:

  The only thing you can do is make the best of it. College is a great way to meet other people and have the time of your life. Remember everbody is going threw the same thing you are and they are making the best of it also. This time of your life will be the only time you have in your life to figure yourself out and try new things. Dont regret anything and dont live like a nun.
