I guess I've been lucky, the group of friends I hang out with family's all own their own business and real estate, so we all make good money, and not work for the "man". We go to Vegas probably twice a year, and and take other trips probably another 3 to some other places. It's also nice not being a poor college kid. My friends CC bill is about 2 grand a month just in alcohol, and pays it off every month.

OP, I think you're just trolling the forums because you keep posting the same type of sh!t and get the same answers....and then in a few days you post the same sh!t again.
But if you're not, here is some advice:

1. Realise that age is only biogical.
2. You can still have good time in college even if you just commute.
3. There is nothing appealing about college parties when you wake up drunk in a strange room, covered in questionable fluids.
4. The point of college is to work hard and get a degree. Fun will come later.
5. Race is not the cause of all your problems.47 year old guy; 5'5"

In college and having the time of my life. This will be my last year so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible.
I'm definately not worried though. I hate school work with a passion. I'm excited for a new challenge as well. I feel like I've hit a new level of maturity.
In 2 years, I see myself in Vegas with my boys having an even better time then I did in college. Something that I wouldn't be able to do now...

yeah slows down obviously, but has benefits....first couple of years after you start to pay down debts then you have some bank to play with...free time to play with, other than work deadlines which are still better than finals or midterms...the only real down side is finding a social circle as well as women..more than half the people you meet will be married, have kids, or in LTRs and wont want to do **** .you need to be more open and put yourself out there..post college i started working out, playing volleyball, rockclimbing, golf etc....pretty much you just got to look for people looking to do **** and be open to what you find.

Nah man, enjoy college because it doesn't get better after. I get one weekend off a month from work, and because ive got loans from going to college/car payments and other bills it can be hard to go out and have a good time. I still manage to get out sometimes during the week but most people I know have normal jobs and work all week.
It's not all bad though don't get me wrong. I now have a girlfriend so not foreveralone thank god and I manage to get out and do stuff a lot but it is a lot harder than it was in college. It's also much easier going to class hungover than it is going to work. juuuus sayin lolhttp://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=167930303 - Luzz's Log

I gotta believe life after college is better if you work hard and are successful at what you do. Let's face it, in college most of us still belong to our parents/family. Without them we wouldn't be there. Once you're working and have a good job you finally come into your own and are a man in your own right. What guy wouldn't want that?

I voted honestly, yeah it sucks. I miss the old days, not single **** was given and just enjoying life. Married with kids and a career is great but the stress is not worth it imo.

(30 year old here)
I think it's that your direction in life changes (at least for most people)
When I was young getting drunk, social life, parties and clubbing mattered.
Now that I'm old, with a house, very happily married and a rather large savings I could care less about parties, clubbing and people. I'd rather take the $100-200 that a night of drinking costs and spend another night travelling and not wake up with a hangover.
I'm actually going back to college as a full time student this fall. Really looking forward to it.
Some may look at this like it's no fun, but I did the same when I was a kid. I had fun when I was younger, but right now I'm absolutely loving life. It's all what you make it.
Now, if you are old with no friends, have a job that you hate (or worse, have one that pays **** too), have debt, and just generally suck at life....your college days will be the best days of your life. (sad)Last edited by schnit; 01-29-2012 at 10:56 AM.

Yes, this.
Life gets better when you have a (hopefully large) paycheck. I've had way more sex per year post college than while in college.
Can go to a steak house and get a nice meal, no big deal.
Sure, less big crazy parties but that's not always what you want.
Just be careful about a lady latching on to you.

The keys to being happy after college:
1. Don't marry a skank. Marry a girl that is classy and that isn't a Biach. If you can't find that just stay single.
2. Get a job doing what you LOVE. Not what your just good at. If you are good at math but you hate it, you will be spending 1/3 of the rest your life doing something you hate. If you get a job doing something you love doing you'll never work a day in your life."Boy, stop lying and don't say you've forgotten, The trouble with you is you ain't been SQUATTIN'." — DALE CLARK, 1983

real life > college life.
Can do real **** like buy cars, houses, etc. No schoolwork, and you live life according to how hard youre willing to work.
The stakes are higher, but the reward is greater. You can either succeed and ball hard, or screw up and be a bigger loser than you were in college.
Speaking of losers, that **** is judged by the car you drive and how much money you make. Which means the nerdy kids make out better than the cool ones more often than not.
