everyone i seem to meet s dreading returning to college...

am i the only one ridiculously excited about heading back?:D

TanG411 · 24-08-2009 2:20pm

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

titan18 · 24-08-2009 2:21pm

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.

I like to study... anything sciencey and I'm there! Also, some of my studying involves bandaging my friends, so that's kinda great.:)

I have since discovered you may in fact be a girl and have decided to re-instate you!!

PhysiologyRocks · 24-08-2009 4:52pm

No idea why everyone assumes I'm a boy. Have had this conversation on at least three forums.

Boys have to bandage each other, too, dontcha know.:P

CommieBaz · 24-08-2009 4:54pm

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

Knifey Spoony · 24-08-2009 5:21pm

Knifey Spoony · 24-08-2009 6:42pm

Just that you said that you did first aid in fourth year and we did that as well. Just thought that i would inquire.

Knifey Spoony · 24-08-2009 6:44pm

I finished in 2008, going into my second year in electrical and electronic engineering.

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 !

CZ 453 · 24-08-2009 6:52pm

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

Knifey Spoony · 24-08-2009 6:54pm

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.

KnifeWRENCH · 24-08-2009 7:47pm

I get to move into my new house next week!

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:
