Is there a different way college works now?
The jock/nerd dichotomy is most certainly bullshit. Really, the only way you'll have a hard time fitting in is if you don't much care for spending every last cent getting shit faced and partying until 5 in the morning every other night.
Why yes, I do think the university/college experience is extremely overrated.
Oh yes, I do not think I will have ANY problem getting along in college / UC life. Party till five sounds about right for me.
Also, on the note of personal behaviour - I do not act like I do online in real life. You could say I act like my true self online, but I act friendly and play nice in real life. Because I know that simply being myself would result in me being alone - nobody likes a morbid sociopath.
@ Sleepy: Well, I am trying to write a novel and such, but insofar, I've only been told the flaws in it, and not very many compliments. So I tend to believe my writing simply sucks. I'm also trying to complete classes for a backup major, so to speak - if English falls through, I might simply become some kind of fitness coach or something. I've completed a lot of PE classes in college, and several health classes.
Though this probably won't lead me to anything resembling a "good job".
