school v/s college life

After something that seems like a century, I finally did come up with a topic to write on and it’s going to be the Metamorphosis “School life” to “College life”...and how College actually feels.
A lot of people think School life was cooler, and a lot of them think otherwise. School teachers will tell you to study harder in school, because college is all about fun. College teachers will tell you “Now you’re entering the real world. Study hard, because you won’t be spoon-fed the way you were in school.” School kids can’t wait to get to college, and college students wish they were in school. So I tried to figure out how life changes once you leave the “spoon feeding” and enter “The Real world !!”

What I’m about to explain below can actually be explained in just one line. But since I’ve been asked (cough cough…blackmailed) to write this,I have to extend this post, so even if you’re wishing that this ends here, I’m sorry I can’t do that right now, so I’ll just begin with comparing College with School.

In School, You sleep late, and end up sleeping in class. Switch to College.Instead of sleeping in class,you can choose to stay in bed. In school,you read the schedule to figure out what classes can you miss.You keep a check on the schedule in college to see which classes do you need to attend. School is when you drink water from everyone else's bottles. College is when you smell it before drinking,just to make sure its actually water !! School is when you set your clock ahead of time,just to be on time.In college, neah, it makes no difference,you're still late. In school,you know nothing,and still ace a test. In college,you know everything,and still fail.... You have to wake up for school at 6 a.m. In college,thats when you sleep ! In school,most of your classmates are extremely dumb. In college...well...that's one thing that doesn't really change.

Thats what College life is.Well,thats a lot like what it is,atleast in the beginning. Living the most amazing days,and still thinking to yourself "I hate my Life !!". Its when you are so busy,that you don't have time to do your homework.It's when you're stressed out,and can't figure out why. It's when you begin liking your cafeteria,just because you realize that "horrible coffee" is better than "no coffee". It's when you have 4 essays and a midterm all due within 3 days of each other and you are out partying with friends.College is...When You "discover" a new cute girl on campus everyday! It's when every cancelled class is as exciting as christmas.Its when weekends start on Thursdays. Actually...Wednesdays.College is, When procrastination becomes an art.

On a more serious note,Theres more to college life,other than what I mentioned above.Things like Studies..Assignments...Examinations...and Loads of depression given by the three. But I don't really want to write about that.An optimist sees the glass as half full.A pessimist sees it as half empty.I see a complete story in it.I believe that if the glass is half full...so there'll be a super cute waitress who'll cum n fill it up to make it completely full...who'll instantly fall in love with me...after 6 months of dating,she'll tell me she's actually the princess of a Victorian state and was disguised just to find true love...so we'll marry in a palace...then our child will grow up to be prime minister...and after conquering USA,we'll attack china...then..

I realize that this article is actually going nowhere,so I guess I should end it here.Lessons,morals,and quotes are a good way to put an end to an article.What I'll leave you is with a thought...(actually an excuse for highlighing only the yummier elements of college life,and not the deeper darker parts...but it's true). Sometimes,leaving the negatives behind,and looking at the positives actually does make life cooler.And admit it, reading an extremely random article about College Life is interesting !!
