True that, college tends to be singled out as the 'best years of your liiiife' so much more often! Maybe I should've phrased my comment differently? I feel like the portrayal of HS in media is a bit far from the reality of many people's experiences, and so they feel like they're doing something wrong.

I personally had/am having a bad time with both, so I often feel like I'm just wasting my life and I'll wake up one day and be too old for anything nice, haha. Wish I could have your optimism - I think your way of thinking is a much better one!

When I was in college I just wanted to get. out. I wanted it to be done and overwith.

I graduated by the skin of my teeth, and spent several months working part-time while semi-enthusiastically job hunting, but now I have an interesting full-time job that won't make me rich but it pays all my bills and leaves me with a little spending money, and I'm supporting myself and working and I'm so much happier now than I was when I was in college.

(Honestly I think a big part of the reason for that, ironically, is that it's waged work. Salaries have their benefits, but the awesome thing about waged work? When I'm off the clock, I'm off the clock. I don't have to take work home with me, physically, mentally, or emotionally. There is no homework. While I'm there I'm utterly focused on work, and while I'm at home, I'm not thinking about it at all. Ironically my boss is a dick who yanks us around and yells at us and instigates drama so it is starting to affect my mental health, but I'm currently in the search for another job in the same line of work with a better boss, so hopefully that will solve that!)

Er, anyway, point is: you can get through it and once you're done, your lifestyle will change dramatically. I hope it's for the better!
