<p>Call me crazy, but am I seriously the only one who hates college? Everyone kept telling me it’s the greatest 4 years of my life, I’ll meet so many new people, new friends, blah blah, almost none of that is true. I’m still a freshman, but I absolutely LOATHE college so far. The main reason I believe I hate it is because, especially with guys, alcohol has to be dragged into everything. I mean, even my really good friends who I eat with, talk to, etc. everyday cannot seem to have fun unless there is drinking involved. I know there are people who don’t drink, but usually these are the types of kids that are too focused on studying to drink. I feel like a lot of people here are so immature and that the only way they can judge people is by how much they drink or how many women they sleep with. I mean, look at that Asher Roth song. All it’s about is drinking and sleeping with women.</p>
<p>I don’t know, I’ve already transferred once, yet nothing is working no matter where I am. But am I seriously the only one wishing these 4 years would just end so that I can start working?</p>
<p>you’re hanging out with the wrong crowd then. there are people in EVERY college that don’t drink/have sex every night. just gotta look for them (and they’re not always nerds either).</p>
<p>lol i hear you. i dont get why so many people are obsessed with alcohol. it gets really annoying. it’s fun, but its not AMAZING. i swear people are only like it because it’s illegal and gives them an excuse to do stupid things. i know a lot of people in my dorm who just wander the streets for hours looking for a party to get some alcohol. its so pathetic…</p>
<p>But like alex said, you need to find the right people to hang out with. GL with that.</p>
<p>If you’re not anti-religion, the religious or Christian (or Jewish or Muslim or whatever) crowds usually are completely the opposite of that. Even if you’re not super-religious, those are the kinds of kids that you can hang out with (and they’re not difficult to find) and not have to focus on those vices.
And they’re accepting so it won’t be too hard to “get into” their crowd.</p>
<p>I am going into my freshman year of college in the fall and numerous people have told me that it’s important that you find the right crowd to associate yourself with. As great as these “friends” may be, they don’t seem like the kind of people that you really enjoy spending that much time around. Try and meet some new people on campus. Regardless of the popularity of drinking at a given school, there are always people, like you, who have no interest in engaging in that kind of activity.</p>
