[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure most of us here went to college. [b]Did you really find it to be full time job?[/b] I went to a top college, worked hard, got good grades. Still had plenty of time to work 10-12 hours a week and play hard, too. Best time of my life. Working a bit didn't get in the way of any of it, and it provided me with spending money and some interesting experiences. Oh yeah, met DH at the job, too. :-)[/quote]

Yes. I had a ton of undiagnosed learning disabilities. Home work that took you one hour took me three. You studied for an hour, while I met with a tutor for two hours and then studied further on my own for two hours. I was so relieved when everyone went out at night to party, because that meant the dorms would be quieter and I'd get distracted less often. In the mornings while you were sleeping off a hangover I was back at my desk trying to get through what was taught but I hadn't learned. And I didn't go to a hard school. I could have gone to 7th grade at age 18 and would have struggled just as much. I went to the easiest school that would give me a degree which would lead to a full-time job. You called your mom to talk all about the interesting things you were learning and boys you were dating while I called my mom to ask her to explain assignments to me and what she thought the teacher meant. Maybe you went to a professor's office hours once a semester? I went almost once a week. I worked my ASS off in college. It was much more than a full time job. I did not have time to work part time or "play hard." Oh and I didn't get good grades. I passed. And I was relieved to pass because sometimes I failed despite working hard. School is simply not my thing. [/quote]
