I knew everything then. Now, I don't know anything. What happened?

I swear Autumn. We must have met somewhere.
And your post sounds like a song
I was in college - an art major. I didn't fit in with the majority of my classmates, who wore black and all seemed to know each other from some "scene" that I wasn't a part of, since I was very suburban and didn't drink much and liked pop music. I felt lost most of the time, and like I was wasting time and money going to college (the degree helped me get my dream job years later, so I can now say that it wasn't a waste). I hadn't yet had a serious boyfriend. I spent my weekends painting, drawing, reading (Stephen King and John Irving), and listening to Dick Bartley on the radio at night. I also listened to a lot of British Invasion cassettes on my boom box. I was extremely poor. I thought that maybe one day I'd look back and realize that it was a fun time, but 20 was crap and I'm happy to be 29 years farther down the road!
I felt that way as a humanities major (pol sic and history), and most of my friends were english majors. They could talk, talk, talk, and knew the absolute best way to do anything (mostly based around anarchy of some sort)…except anything practical or useful. Drove me nuts. Artsy fartsy, airy fairy people didn't appeal to me (lol)
HAHA! I'm just the same. No time for the educated idiots.Those people didn't appeal to me either - always the smartest ones in the room, too smart to hold a job, busy smoking weed and borrowing money! (Dear God, I sound like Archie Bunker!)
Were they doing the same?College. Spent most of my time trying to figure out how to get out my parents house permanently.

The first day at university was really a revelation for me. I was terrible shy, unsure and practically friendless. But i found that a lot of people were unsure and made a lot of friends, that i still have during my uniyears. I went out with a new confidence both of myself and in my subjects. There were some parties.... Both you are allowed some mistakes, right?I felt that way as a humanities major (pol sic and history), and most of my friends were english majors.

College is a great time to have fun while you're learning (both lessons and about yourself)The first day at university was really a revelation for me.
