how did you change when you went to college?

[Imdmn04]

I realized that everybody is pretty competitive, there werent any more dumbasses like in high school to make you feel smart.
Everybody is just as smart, just as competitive as you are.

basically i lost that whole "everyone is generally good until proven otherwise" idea. Now it's "guilty until proven innocent". It's sad how bitter and jaded I've become since freshman year.

Hell yeah me too!

Never drank even one beer in high school.

Was getting drunk every other day my freshman year in college.

Being away from home I learned how to budget my money better. No matter how little we had we always had money for beer.

At college I learned how to function on very little sleep. That was another change.

I have the same feeling.

The vast amount of people on the far right has made me more liberal.

Confidence. Didn't have any in HS.

Lost a bunch of weight, grew my hair all out, and probably got more conservative in the process. And still having loads of fun.

I've lost a lot of innocence. I've become more social, but I've also built a sort of filter around myself, so I can take more abuse/criticism/etc. in my academics. For me, college has been about learning my strengths and weaknesses, and I usually come out stronger rather than weaker.

My writing has become much much stronger, and I'm more able to express myself verbally too. Whereas in high school I was much more approachable, I think I've become much more sincere rather than open to everyone. I may be a bit difficult to get to know, but once people break through to what I'm really like, I think they really appreciate me for what I've become in college.

I'm also much more politically opinionated, but that's what I get for coming to one of the most left-aligned schools in the nation!

My life went to hell when I got to unviersity. It's all down hill from here, Deslocke. The only thing that gives me pleasure these days is the bottom of a bottle.

I entered University as a virgin and left as a virgin.

Now I'm 40 years old and I think I might be shrinking in height a little, I've gotten fatter and I get diarrea more often.

Oh, and I'm still a virgin.

I gained some awesome friends. I'm now living with one of them now that school is over & we are partners in a new business we started.

I definitely opened up more, learned more about myself and learned to have more fun. Didn't run away with my tail between my legs around girls anymore. Became more independent since I was away from home for a couple years (and haven't moved back home since I started college).

Overall the best couple years of my life so far, really sorry that its over. I want to go back to school

I also quadrupled my alcohol tolerance but that's another topic. :Q

Video stuff mostly. Startup costs were about 20k (mostly equipment, expensive cameras etc). Right now we're mostly shooting wedding videos and we're also shooting a documentary on Bald Eagles in southern ontario (yeah I didn't know they came down here either, but they do! pretty cool. saw a few today from about 75-100 yards away using a 20x lens. looked great.)

Basically college teaches you to live and think on your own. Not having parents around, most people go crazy and party every night at the beginning until they eventually wizen up and get their priorities straightened out.

stuff that you learn in college:
- how to live with a roommate.
- having the ability to go outside of your comfort zone to meet new people
- sleeping becomes a whole lot more important =)
- not all people are inherently good.
- the only way to get an A is to actually put in the time for it
