Were you as wild in your college years as people expected?

Question

I’m sure no ones up, but ah well, you’ll see this tomorrow. I was actually one of my better selves in college. In grade school, I was very study-focused and was overachieving like crazy. Even the times my dude and I were freakin in public, I made sure it was mostly during the spring/summer months or holiday breaks so that it didn’t interfere with my grades. I think people expected me to go wild in college and get into partying/drinking/smoking/hooking up, but nope. I went straight to class then straight home (and boy was it a relief to only have to attend class 2 days out of the week)! I turned down all the parties but occasionally went to the sports events/tailgates. And of course I dated some peanut head hoes BUT I stayed goody goody and didn’t let em hit! College was strictly about getting a (pointless) degree for me. Shit I didn’t even start messing around in public again until some months after I graduated college. So I’m pretty proud of myself for not living the stereotypical college experience.

Not even close. My college was  very  academically demanding (one guy in more advanced classes was supposedly taking cocaine- not recreationally, but  to stay awake long enough to finish the reading ), and while some of my classmates did get pretty damned debauched, I wasn't the type to join in. I think the most extreme thing I ever did was to go a party, have three of my gin and tonics*, and halfway through the fourth, get approached by the guy who was painting people's faces and asked if I'd let him do my beard. He was using red, blue, and green, because... You know, even at the time, I didn't really understand why. Something to do with Namibia, maybe? He assured me that it'd wash out, and I figured why not?  Yeah, I really *am* Mister Excitement, aren't I? *the standard gin and tonic consists of tonic water, which is just soda with no flavor, plus some quinine; gin, which tastes like dried sweat socks infused with the squeezings of  wet  sweat socks, and a hint of lime, with which I have no complaints. My version takes the standard highball glass, but first you fill it up halfway with rum, then you add rum to take it the two-thirds mark, then you top it off with rum. You can still add the lime, if you want. I like rum. It's sweet and light without the snootiness you get from wine or whiskey enthusiasts; all you get with rum is pirate jokes.

From shortly after I entered high school, until I was almost 30, I was partying and having fun constantly, even at my jobs. I took 2 or 3 courses per semester at community college. So, I basically had a college lifestyle without the dorm rooms. Except I had way more freedom. That's because I wasn't going to college with any time table or career goal in mind. I went surfing, snow skiing, hiking, camping, backpacking, partying, or whatever, whenever I wanted.

So those were my college years. LOL

When I was 26, I got a corporate job and my lifestyle changed. By my 30s I was a grown up.

I really wish I was but I was the complete opposite. I didn’t go out and drink my kidneys and liver out.
I paid a lot of monies and my biggest fear was flunking school so I stayed focused. I did go parties and clubs but didn’t really do anything that would cause me to miss school work.

The day I graduated was the same day I went to the hospital for learning I was allergic to ketamine.

Nah I just hung out with my friends occasionally... and I kind of got obsessed with my boyfriend... and ended up dropping out after 6 months..

Now I'm back in a college course and I am almost finished... I been doing way better this round with all 90s... I just have to do placement to graduate... then I never have to do school ever again in my life lol

Paul_in_Indy · Answer

Yeah, I was. I mean, I didn’t drink and I didn’t do drugs—and I did my school work—but I was obsessed with sex. I was working all day every day on every angle I could think of to get sex. When you put in that much effort, you get results, too. I am much more tame today.

the_sinner · Answer

College was honestly the best stage of my life. I was disciplined and studied well but my friends and I partied every weekend and took part in all cultural events and fests. I kept myself away from alcohol and narcotics until my final year. After I had received a job offer I had a little bit of drinking and weeding with my buddies after which Covid happened and I started my job working from home. I don’t know what people expected of me in college but I sure turned out better than what I had expected of myself.

TrueConfection · Answer

I partied as much as my friends did in college. I don't know of anyone using drugs, we just liked to drink and have a good time. I was also working, but still made the dean's list. I got a little crazier for a year or two after college while traveling, but still never drugs.

Sour-rose · Answer

Heh, hell no. I was still a little bitch who had no fangs so i tried to pass my classes and nothing else. I did my best to pass them all, even if some of them were dickheads. So i was really on the dream of being that girl who thought it was a great career... never got crazy. Didn't have the chance to.

SteveSmith1985 · Answer

I was wilder than you can imagine. I was a goddamn party-animal. I was the life of any party, and had a goddamn blast. I had a really fun time, met some great people, and made some crazy memories.

I'm 37 years old. I'm still paying for it in ways I would never have expected. It was a lot of fun. I won't deny that. But... if I ever have kids, I hope they're more like you. 🙂

AviatorTom · Answer

I was not wild at all in college. I paid my own way, and that made me want to get my money's worth... learn things for my eventual career. My friends and I occasionally got together for fun; most of us paid our own way and enjoyed the learning experience of college.

I knew many people who were party animals... almost all of them had parents who paid for college. No incentive to learn. I often wonder how they did later in life.

Sparkie460 · Answer

I didn't go to a regular college. I went to an automotive college in another state. I was really wild and got in a lot of trouble with the law. I did I illegal stuff to survive in the state. I also did a lot of partying. I ended up leaving and going back home.

iron_ninjs · Answer

Until I started highschool I was one of the best students in school. Always the top of the class. Probably because the teachers always compared me to my parents and my two cousins, who where "wunderkinds". When I was in highschool, I wasn't compared to anyone, so I was more relaxed in my studies, and I started going out. In college, it was classes, studying, and going to parties.

jamesgoldman · Answer

That depends as outwardly I was a good student who held down a restaurant job with no time to date or break rules

Inwardly I was involved in passive deals with a classmate to afford to both actually date and cover up my dating with 'wages' from my job, I drank like a fish and partook in umpteen smoke sessions

AdithyaR · Answer

Nah, I was the resident model student good boy in my class. Never skipped lectures, participated and conducted events, kept good grades, assignments and projects always on time, answers in class. I was basically the opposite of wild.
Never even went out to party even once, unless you count a normal birthday dinner as a party.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Honestly I'm probably more wild now then I was in college/institution.

The craziest stuff I did back then was get drunk at work with a coworker of mine who was always high on pills, weed or something else. Or get another time I got drunk at a different job and walked home with a buddy of mine.

Anpu23 · Answer

I Fd off college so badly. Ditched mid terms to go to. lake Powel as an example. Parents were paying for it and I was more interested in my pregnant girlfriend (now ny wife) then studying.

BloodCursedDeviant · Answer

I didn't live the crazy life of college mostly because I had work, school and I lived close to my school so I stayed at home after my classes. I did make plenty of friends that I now miss and think about.

TallAnon · Answer

My college wasn't too big and we didn't even have a single woman in my course (CS), so I gave my all to be the best at my future job. When I went abroad for an internship, that's where the fun started.

ariadneR · Answer

Nah I pretty much did shit people never expected of me. To the point where when me and the man were talking about it the other day, he didn't believe me at all.

AimeeKyle · Answer
