Why we go to college

So, if you're anything like me, you're a just graduated high-schooler freaking out about going to college. Sure, in the beginning we all lied to ourselves and said that we couldn't wait to get out into the real world. But, let's face it, college still isn't the real world and as soon as the tassels switched sides we realized that we wouldn't be seeing our friends everyday anymore and we couldn't pretend to be sick to escape giving in a long over due project anymore either.
Then again, maybe you are super lucky and you haven't had to face some of the facts that slap you in the face and make you want to go back to easier days. For the rest of us though, all the orientations, meal plans, possible roommates, and PAYMENT plans have begun to pile up on our doorsteps.
But, you aren't here to read about the things that already make you itch a little bit when your family brings them up in the car and asks you why you haven't decided on certain things yet, for now, you're here to see why you should be facing the big U. I cna give you ten superficial but good reasons right now:
10-You can finally escape that one teacher who has always been a creeper...finally.
9-You no longer have to wear that gym uniform that isn't flattering to either sex.
8-No more SATs, ACTs, etc.
7- You can finally wake up after dawn...
6-A fresh start!
5-You can wear what you want, when you want.
4-If you're going to a college far enough away from home that you live with a roommate, you can say good-bye to parents always leaning over you're shoulder.
3-You can take classes that you really want to while working towards your degree.
2-You can say good-bye to people who really make you cringe when you pass them in the hallway, unless they're going to your college, and then I'm just sorry.
1-NO MORE HIGH SCHOOL!

So far we've taken a big step, saying adieu to the K-12 system and embracing a whole new way of life. Hopefully this brand spanking new way of life will be more amazing than the old one. And, if not, we can always lie later and as we pat our children on their backs and try to encourage them to go to college we can say that our years spent in college were "the best years of our life!"
