College is not going to be like high school! You’re an adult now! You need to learn to manage your time! You need to spend two hours studying for everyone one hour in class! This is going to be one of the most challenging times in your life!
Nah.
I don’t know why every new part of life as introduced as this brand new, never before seen challenge, but nah. College is just like high school; high school was just like middle school.
Maybe its because I’ve always treated myself like an adult, and expected other people to treat me as an adult too. Maybe it’s because I’ve always been managing my own time, even if my priorities were a little-off. Maybe its because nothing ever feels like a challenge to me.
Seems like college is going to be pretty boring doesn’t it?
Nah.
College does presents one new element. College actually counts. I did nothing in middle school still got into Brooklyn Tech. I did nothing in Tech and still got into Baruch. But now I actually have to put some points on the board. I need the GPA, I need the work experience, I need the volunteer work, I need the extracurricular activities because I need the scholarship to Columbia, because I need the investment-banking job, because I need to be rich.
I seem like your average College student, stressing about the future don’t I?
Nah.
College may count, but college is still easy. Because I don’t care if I sound overly confident, I’m brilliant. Because I took on the most difficult and time consuming “extracurricular activity”, and I’m still maintaining a decent GPA. When the first part of this “extracurricular activity” is done, bang. Building a powerful resume through permanent activity and support, easy 4.0 GPA, and I’ll be looking into jobs and internships. Yes, it really is that easy.
I seem pretty uptight, only focused on school and my future don’t I?
Nah.
I’m going to be getting ready for my future and partying, at the same damn time. You would have thought Adult College Dylan wouldn’t want to pop, sniff, smoke and drink until he couldn’t think. You would have thought Adult College Dylan didn’t want to keep causing trouble. You would have thought Adult College Dylan didn’t want to keep meeting beautiful women.
Nah.
