The best part about college living

I have been living the college life for about 3 years and it has been finally an adjustment for me, and eventually I am starting to even like the college lifestyle.  There are many things that are great about the college lifestyle that I haven't experienced in high school.

College is a time when you are on your own.  When you are in the high school, your schedule is scheduled for you and everything is controlled throughout the day.  You don't have much freedom but in college, you have a lot more freedom.  It is pretty awesome to come home to your own bed right after class to take a nap or just go on the internet to listen to music.  In the high school, most of the modern internet is blocked and you  are confined to a structured schedule - in college you can fit a schedule and a lifestyle that suits your needs.

Even though you have more freedom, there is still a lot of stress.  You have a lot of drama and you have to deal with a lot more responsibilities, but these responsibilities help you develop as an individual.  College is a time where you can find yourself and you are exposed to a "diverse world" and you start to see who you are.  This diverse world is a little bit scary at first, but it is a way to figure out who you are and where you fit in society.

This seamless college life is going to end and eventually you are all going to enter the adult world of the workplace.  But I am starting to feel that the adult world is not that bad - you are a lot more equal and feel like you blend in the adult world.  The high school world has a definitive social hierachy but the adult world, the social hierachary is more spread out.  You have the rich, which are the celebrities and the people who run the place, and you have the poor, and then you have the middle class.  It looks like there are more poor people and the middle class is starting to get smaller and smaller, especially in my area. But in the adult world, everyone is in their own path and nobody cares what everyone thinks about you, which I still need to get out of.

In the future, I can see the seamless lifestyle is going to be more and more mainstream.  The structured work encvironment of the office and the factory is going to be less common, and you are going to see more telecommunting and at home business.  The 21st century is the era where people really don't care what other people think and you can go to work in your pajamas or even naked in a 24/7 world.  Dress codes and office drama will be things of the past when we transform into this more seamless world, which is see about the 2020s and beyond.

But I can see people are going to be a lot more isolate, unless we have some hang out or something like that.  College is not bad, but some day this lifestyle is going to end, but the flexibility is great in college and eventually it is going to be in the real world.
