      I’ve missed a lot of “fun” but working throughout college I’ve got so many good job experiences. I’m graduating in May and plan on pursing my MBA next fall. Working full time and being a full time student has not been as hard as I thought but I get no free time to do anything else sadly.

      My first year was rough, far away from home at barely 18. My anxiety and depression started to manifest themselves at that time. My second year was also hard, but better and it went uphill from there. I also took five years to complete my bachelors in science.
      I'm still in uni but in grad school now and things are much better :D.

      My college experience was meh but because my college sucks, but I relate to your lessons, I also spent pretty much since my 3rd semester gathering work experience and all and never went to party or hang or things like that and now I lowkey regret it even though I'm not a party guy I still regret it, I luckily got to know everyone in my major but like the memories are limited just cuz I didn't have those 'adventures' yknow what i mean? I do believe people need to not focus too much on grades and all cuz college is q fune experience that does not repeat because even if you study another major, you'll be older and is harder to socialize cuz there still exist a little that happens,at least that's how I felt my experience so it's goodto enjoy when possibel
