What do college kids do?

[James_B]

I'm confused, I thought when you get to college it's a party and none stop fun. So far the only real fun I've had has been during winter break,when I'm not actualy in school. So far college has been nothing but alot of studying and walking from one side of the campus to another. I guess if you don't move away for college, it's boring? The people I see who seem to have "fun" are either drop outs or 25+ year olds just starting a pre program course. I have a feeling that this boring side of college life is normal and the movies glorify the unreal side of college life.

Plus, it's winter and no one is getting enough sun light so they don't have alot of energy and the economy is bad. I'm not getting as many shifts at work so my cash flow is low.

So, what do college kids really do?

Alot of it is over glorified, the main reason you should be going is for your education, i thought thats what it was all about?

And if your in your first year, get ready for it getting worse and harder. If you want to have fun join a society or a sports team or something.

There's your problem -- you're going to class
And yes, moving away from the parents also helps.

Make some friends closet child. College fun is usually in groups.

If you are in a small college or community college you have alot of TV to look forward to.

Are you at the University of Windsor? Also, make friends. But most of the time it is class and school work.

If it's anything like my first year, what you mainly is do go to class, not study much and then play video games in your dorm. Maybe practice bass. Or start taking illicit substances or finding drinking buddies

[TheDarkReaver]

smoke weed, drink, watch dvds, play computer games, sit around, play gigs and if there's time do a bit of work

I dunno where yer goin' but when I was in college the amount of time I was sober could have been counted in minutes, and the amount of time I spent NOT partying in seconds...

...But then again, I was a terrible college student.

That sounds like most of my collegiate experience (minus the class part and plus some concerts). Somehow I graduated. Go figure. . .

One thing that helps college be more fun, go get laid! Geez, kids these days!

Nah, I'm at St Clair college. I'm trying to get the University via medical Lab Science but its seems like an up hill battle.


Don't even get me started on music. I can't find anyone to play with. The music classes are on the other side of town with all the muscians.

[SoComSurfing]

Go to class 15+ hours/week. Work 35-40 hours/week. Play gigs when you can squeeze in practice and free time.

College is suppose to be "fun" whatever "fun" means to you. One thing I realized was when I was meeting lots of people (getting laid) I didn't do so well in school. When I was doing well in school I couldn't find a poosie stick it in.

Start going to local shows. Check out the site fiveonenine.com (you are 519 area code right?). All local music, get your name out there and meet some people.

just you wait until you start making friends and get invited to partys =]

[Vic Winters]

There are probably several parties going on every day of the week. But no one is going to advertise because the majority of people there are going to be underage and don't feel like getting busted. Make some friends and find out where the parties are. Play some beer pong and make out with cute drunk girls. Seriously this could very well be the drunken and sexual prime of your life, don't waste it sitting around your house/dorm playing WoW, it's not going to come to you.

He is in Ontario, drinking age is 19. Only a select few first years are still underage by the end of the year.

Fun for me is going to classes and working towards my future....having weekends to myself, jamming with friends, and enjoying the countryside (really quiet college).

Frankly I'm disgusted with the whole illicit substance and drinking thing...that's not my scene and it's pointless and people get hurt.

[Mark Wilson]

I practice, and work out. Along with work and TB.
That's my day WITHOUT class.

I wouldn't really say it's pointless, but to each his own, right?
