What its like..........

Well, with a few weeks of college under my belt let me share my experiances......

1. As an adult going straight from work to school, you can feel a leeeeetle overdressed in class in a suit lol...

not your average college outfit lol...

2. Sometimes you will revert to your high school habit of doodling to pass the time in a boring lecture as they are tailored to 18 year olds with little life experiance.... and you probably will know about most of what the professor going on about....but often its just the first half where the professor is stating the obvious preliminaries and then it gets interesting with interactive discussions etc.

And no matter what- class is more interesting than work....

3. Writing essays/speeches really does help get your brain going again and you will suprise yourself with your own knowledge of interesting topics that even professors only know a little bit about and they will often ask you questions.....I found myself explaing the 'Blue Zones' to the professor yesterday as she brought it up in class but couldnt elaborate on it, and I was the only one who raised my hand when she asked ' has anyone heard of this?' That is what being bored at work and going on wikipedia/msn/NY Times does for you....

4. You will also be more up to date on news and current affairs than anyone else in your class beside your professor, thanks to water cooler gossip at work which does come in handy in several classes

5. If you time things well, you can polish off your essays etc at work and free up your weekends
