Is college life boring?

I had been in college for about 4 years and by the time I am going to be done in about 5 years, and it looks like I haven't really had a true college experience.  This year is technically like a junior year in college as I continue my studies into more advanced learning, but I am starting to realize - is college life really that great?

It seems like college has been a problem since day one - I haven't had much problem on the campus as much as the roommates but I think the counselor's theory might actually be right.  They had observed and analyzed my behavior and I am a type of person who likes "deeper thinking", while most of the roommates I got are to the point and very concrete in their style of thinking.  I am thinking most of the people around me are that way.

There are some higher level thinking people out there but it looks like I am not finding it in the college or even at this area of Minnesota. It looks like a lot of them could care less about my thoughts and my beliefs, and may be bored to tears, and rather hear something that is more down to earth such as playing video games, sports, etc.  This is your normal guy but I might be pass this level.  There might be people out there but it looks like for a practical reason of survival, I need to lower myself and start enjoying some of these "normal people" activities.  Even though it may not be mentally intriguing or stimulating, this might  be a way for me to be more social and to fit in better.

College is all about the deeper thinking and a lot of this deeper thinking might be "homework" for a lot of people.  There are things that I am fascinated by while other people could care less about.  But I think I need to start getting some more knowledge in the less "thinking guy" stuff and more into stuff that is in your face - especially with the Minnesotan culture.

I am probably more open minded about music such as R&B and open minded about ideas, but really I just intellectualize many "redneck" ideas.  I am pretty conservative and I like Jesus, family values, and a freer, less taxes economy which is pretty redneckish.  I used to be a lot more on the liberal end in high school, but it seems like I started to realize this stuff is failed.  But I really need to start "living the life" of what is around me instead of someone believing my "higher level thinking."

These higher level thinkers are probably in the world of the internet and cyberspace, and there are forums and blogs, as well as YouTube to express might higher level thinking, but we have sort of the "average Joe" stuff I should be exposed to as well.  I might as well get in the world and college might be mentally stimulating, it might be time for me to start "lunking" up and getting into the "real world."

The higher level thinking of mine started to emerge about 2007 or 2008ish when I was starting to realize the power of my brain.  But I think I really started to think when I entered the college about 2009. The summer time in high school is when I go back to the weird mind, but this mind might be of brilliance, but not social acceptance.

I rather read Sports Illustrated, The National Enquirer, etc. to get me with the world.
