wtf College in 3 months.. i forgot all about that!!

wtf.. For you guys in College is it REALLY THAT HARD to have free time?  TV teaches us that College is VERY hard to most and that you take home BOOK PILES of paper work.  I am going to attend this year I remembered and what should I expect?  I want to be a Scientist, Studying Planetary Geoglogy.   I plan on living with my parents seeing as we just got a cozy new condo.  I am going to a community college for now.  if youre in the Richmond (VA) are I'm going to J Sargeant Reynolds.

My brother has time to meditate and my sister has time to go out with her friends.
Can't be all bad i guess...

Well first off every one of my friends that went to community college claimed it was much more like high school than college so you'll want to keep that in mind.

As for 4 year schools your experience can vary alot from person to person.  I've found you really only have time for 3 things you can party, sleep and study, but you can only do 2 of these at a time.

You can party and study

study and sleep

or sleep and party.

American colleges sound so tough, I was in college today and i'll go again tomorrow and then i won't have to go back until next Thursday...Apollo5000

Its different for everybody.

what about sleep and sleep? is that a double negative or something? 

Community colleges aren't hard...

Go to an Ivy League or techincal college. That's hard. And science classes in college are hard because of class time + problem sets + lab time. Humanities and social sciences are hard because you have to read like 200 pages of useless crap a night (but if you're smart and learn quick, you only skim things).

If you put a fair effort into things, college isn't that bad though. 

Yeah I was hoping science would a little more hands on than the others.. because its science. :DRonMaverick804

If you realize that now prior to college, you're better off than half who are in college. My class mates had literally... oh say 10 hours of class a week, with Monday and Fridays off. I had 8 hours of LAB a week in my Junior and Senior years. In total I averaged from 15 to 25 hours a week in class/lab, add on another 10 to 15 to make it a full work week. The rest of my class mates slacked off and played ultimate frisbee.
