College isn't what the movies portray it to be. It's not all fun and games or smoking and drinking....unless you're intent when you apply to college is to do all that. Most of the time it's actually hard work. We get 3 page papers and 6 page papers to write. You can't cram study for everything the night before a big test or exam. Not all colleges have drunken orgies every Friday night either. Most big college or university professors don't even take attendance and aren't going to help you when you are struggling with their class. One usually has to study hard and get help from fellow classmates or upperclassmen.
And let's not forget that college is almost the same as high school...there will always be drama. ALWAYS. Whether it be between roommates or friends. Sometimes you get the occasional random people who don't even know each other drama, but that's rare. I know we all hope that it will be different, but it really isn't that different. The only difference is that most people are living away from home and have a lot more freedom.
So basically, college isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's hard work and not all play, unless of course you're only going to college to party, than that's a different story all together.
