I'm not complaining about the workload, I just wish I didn't procrastinate so much. I like college, I get to write research papers on video games as long as I have a reasonable argument to make. It's great. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself once I'm out of school.

Well, yeah, I imagine that is rough. I just don't know how I'm going to make the transition between lifestyles.

Nah, it's not that bad. I love my independence.
The transition kind of sucks. I felt very disconnected from everything, even a little aimless. Granted, as soon as I was done my courses, I picked up and moved to a city I'd never lived in before, and didn't know anyone. It's not like I did a degree program, either, so I'm assuming the transition is easier (or a little less vague) for those that come out of school with a trade or a degree. You'd have more direction.
I'll be going back to school as soon as my "little brother" graduates, and I'm pretty apprehensive about it.

From what I've heard, going back to school is a bit more difficult. It takes time to get used to your work following you home instead of staying at the job.

That aspect doesn't bother me much. I am more prepared to work my a** off now than I was when I graduated. It's something that I want, rather than something that's simply expected of me, if that makes any sense.

I understand entirely. I think part of the reason that I've taken well enough to university is that it has been my goal since I can remember. I have always -wanted- to go to college and never felt like it was just another obligation.

I've always wanted an education, but I wanted to go on my own terms, and I wanted to be damn sure of what I wanted to do before spending thousands upon thousands of dollars. School can be so very expensive, and it's no guarantee that you'll work.
One of my best friends from high school worked his butt off getting his journalism degree. He works at a drug store as a cashier now. xp On the other hand, other friends of mine finished their studies, and are working in their fields, and are doing great. Even if I don't find a good job, I want to learn. There's so much to know.

I definitely understand. I'm planning on going to grad school once I'm done with this, but who knows what will happen between now and then. For now I need to focus on getting to boot camp in the fall.
