The other day I was talking with my best friend Jess about college, and we were wondering why every adult says college were the best days of their lives. As someone in college, it’s sometimes hard to believe that that’s true. Don’t get me wrong- living with my best friends, having no economic responsibilities, and going to parties every weekend isn’t exactly a chore. But being under the pressure to casually choose what I want to do for the rest of my life, living away from my family, and having to deal with immature college boys isn’t exactly fun and games all the time either.
Eventually we realized that looking back on college is really the best time of your life- not necessarily living through it. Of course all of the embarrassing and immature things we are doing now will seem funny in thirty years. All experiences just seem better retrospectively- because life only gets more complicated as you get older, and the past always looks easier.
Basically, all of the pressure pop culture (and old people) puts on us to be having the best time of our lives is stupid…this might be college, but it’s also still reality.
What do you think?
