Oddly specific for a question that applies to everyone
Yeah it was a joke. Deleted, whatever.
I did enjoy college, and looking back at it I wish I took advantage of all it had to offer (from education and the fun side). I had a good time, but I mostly stuck to a path and didn’t explore different classes, paths, etc and didn’t get outside my comfort zone as much as I could (meeting new people, etc).
With that, life after college is great. Discretionary income is a wonderful thing, living in nyc is a total blast, and traveling and enjoying some of that money is fun. I’ve been able to meet many great people, travel the world, and do so much more than I could before. Then you can always do grad school and do it again with money. But anyway, it is a great time.

Lol what
Almost gave you a banana for your jokes
Thanks, NA in Other
The people that claim that college is the best 4 years ever and post-college life is awful drive me insane. College is unbelievably fun. Lots of parties and drinking and nonsense (depending on where you go). If you work hard when you’re in school and get a decent job you will continue to have a good time and enjoy yourself. Life is not shit when you graduate and IMO the people that think that are generally the ones who had a little too much fun in school and never took anything serious enough to set themselves up for a future. I have a lot of friends from my degenerate fraternity that are the classic “college is the best 4 years of your life” type. It is a terrible way to live.
But wait, aren't you guys constantly on here talking about how IB is 80-100h a week? I can not, for the life of me, figure out how you can possibly enjoy the same carefree leisure-heavy life that you had in college when doing something like IB.
In college, I couldn't afford to take a random trip to Bali but now I can not only go there but I can stay at the below place. It makes life a bit more enjoyable.

College is best.
Some told me once you get money, your life would get better ! Guess what, nothing, money did not buy me happiness/peace of mind.
How much money do you earn pre-tax per year?
120k base salary- nyc salary
Way better after IMO. People that "miss college" are like people that "miss high school".
ah shit i miss both high school and college
College was definitely awesome, but there’s much more to life beyond getting hammered and trying to get laid. Life post-grad can be pretty great if you enjoy what you do and if you’re compensated well
The lack of free time is the biggest negative, especially when working 70+ hours a week.
I don’t miss partying all the time, but I do miss the freedom to get up at 1030, skip class and head to the beach with no consequences.

Haha made it when I was being a hardo and decided I couldn't fuck around anymore until I got an internship.
I fucking loved college and can emphatically say that life after is even better.
Who knows, the entire time since I’ve graduated has been fucked with COVID so I guess we’ll see once cities start to truly open up
Completely agree with this. Had been looking forward to having fun with new people in a new city post grad, but COVID has really made things suck altogether and find myself loosing motivation at work. Hard to fully enjoy the $ I'm making and enjoy ~remote working~ with now great new relationships at work.
It doesn't suck, it can be terrific, it can be horrible, you get to decide...
Post-college life can be immensely better or worse, depending on what you choose to do with it. I love post-college life but some friends would give anything to go back to college and that's primarily because they work in a shitty job that doesn't pay well, have no real hobbies and are trying too hard to live in the past.
Post-college is magnitudes better. Money and freedom being the main benefits. I'd say the main downside is seeing/hanging out with friends less often. But...would you rather hang out with your friends doing nothing at some fast food place / park / library 4 days a week, or, go on trips every summer to cool places / do cool stuff
Facts to this. Like yeah I miss seeing some of my buds every day since we all have jobs and many of them are in different cities, but that makes those times when we are all together so fun because everyone has the "fuck it, lets go nuts" mindset.
I miss freshman and sophomore year, when all it took was to get laid was to ask a chick to play rage cage. I don’t miss Jr and Sr year which were spent making up for that, all about balance even if it’s across all 4 years. Right now, I’m probably front loading work for a sabbatical “volunteering” for a year in a third world country on a beach to spice up the rez before B school.
I loved college and was loving life up until COVID. I don't think one is better or worse than the other, just very different.
I hated both university and my current life, but that is more due to my antisocial personality than due to external circumstances.
