    Every 1st year I know can't wait for college. Am I the only 1st year who doesn't want to go?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,009 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    I can't wait to go back either and a few of my friends are the same.If I was told I was going back tomorrow I'd be delighted.

    I can't wait! I miss lectures and my friends from afar and the studying. I love everything about college and it beats the summer any day!:D:D:D

    I know this sounds sarcastic, but I'm being genuine.

    You miss studying? Fair play if you do, but thats one element of college life i do not like! I'm excited to be going back too, even if it is to repeat. The summer rainy season bores the pants off me.

    Note to any and all first years: College is brilliant. None of that secondary school prison-esque vibe. And thrice the "socialising"!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,557 ✭✭✭Knifey Spoony

    Oh right , no probs ! Was your schools 4th yr any good ? Ours had it's moments , first aid and going to the burren was the best part really ! Not worth staying in secondary an extra yr for !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,753 ✭✭✭CZ 453


    Fair play....see you around so buddy....memories-navagation 4th year.burrowing a hole from room 3A to 3B


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,557 ✭✭✭Knifey Spoony


    It was ok, definatly not worth the extra year in school though. The highlight of it though was a song writing work shop, that was pretty cool.

    I get to move into my new house next week! :D It's amazing how I managed to live at home for 18 years happily enough, and now spending just 3 months at home is enough to make me want to escape the place.

    I'm another one who can't wait to go back to college: I've been so bored at home it's unreal. At the same time, I know one week after college starts I'll be fed up of it and wishing for the holidays. :pac:
