College wasnt "all that" at first..... but the longer you stay, the more you get to appreciate it. Why do you think so many people go to grad school? And I'm not talking about the dorks or the 'love of learning' (nor do I mean to imply that these are one and the same, lack of time dictates poor diction in this case) people, I mean really personable, charismatic people that could make it with or without grad school. There are so many benefits that college provides for you while you are there that these people want to hang on to that for as long as they can. You're taking it for granted now, but at work you'd never learn anything else, never meet anyone new, and never do anything different.
