For all you high school students out there, college is not what is seen in the movies. The movies are the same effect as High School Musical for high school students; it is a very sugar coated, fantasy world of high school. High School Musical is relatively clean for high school standards maybe when it came out, but it looks like high school is starting to become a cleaner place. The High School Musical high school is really a mature high school - it is a moral high school life where nobody does any harm. I always heard that teenagers are always involved with immoral activities such as drinking and sex in high school; we are not going to be standing around dancing on cafeteria tables singing gay songs. But it looks High School Musical is a more mature, conformist view of high school which college might be close like.
It is probably in the future you are going to be listening to Aly & AJ at a punch tailgare party after a football team - this is probably the legal alternative at a moral fundamentalist Christian boarding school but probably is not going to happen in a normal high school or even a college - there is more likely a senior kegger than listening to Aly & AJ and drinking punch - what is wrong with listening to Aly & AJ and drinking punch - it is legal, but it is BORING for a lot of teenagers, unless you are one of these gooey, clean cut Christian sugar coated Pat Robertson type teenagers.
But you'll notice that high school and college are going to be significantly different. It depends if you are going to a state college or a private, Christian college; the same way if you are going to a general high school vs. a Christian high school.
1. You'll see ADULTS in the classroom - I mean people that can be your PARENTS. Adults think different in the classroom - they can legally drink so keggers don't really have much novelty. A lot of them are more interested in more boring subjects such as kids and your job - they are done with this high school baloney. Adults dress different as well - it depends on your age, but many adults come to school with a nice polo shirt or plaid shirt for guys and for women, it is some womenly type clothes - no more Hollister or Abercrombie type slut clothes anymore. You may think the adults in there are stuffy and boring, but eventually you will learn to act like adults because you are actually a young adult. Some high school students act more like adults and it seems like by the time you are a junior or senior in high school once you are out in the job, you start acting adultish. Aly & AJ is more appropriate for adults than teens.
2. You are not going to like you roommate - your roommate is probably going to be different than you, and it is part of your education. Your college education is all about learning about different cultures and lifestyles - you'll see someone in a city lifestyle when you are in a redneck town or something like that. You'll learn to appreciate who you truly are and not put on act like when you are in high school. You might have a roommate that likes totally different things to you. But you never know, opposites do attract sometimes.
3. You will love your parents - your parents will give you food and wash your clothes. You'll actually miss your kitty when you come home from college.
4. You are actually here to study - it is for a JOB. It is not for the honor roll anymore and nobody cares if you are a nerd. You are a nerd when you sit and play World of Warcraft all night and not study; cool people study and they are actually going somewhere. But actually when you meet a nerd, don't bully them because they might be your boss. Nerds usually become your actual preppies in real life society - they become doctors, lawyers, software engineers, snorts, owners of huge .com corporations.
