What type of life do you want to live in college? For many people the best times of their lives are in college because they have no responsibilities. They can wake up whenever they want, work when they please, party their lives away, and wake up to do it all over again. That is the best time for some people because its relaxed, laid back, and they don’t have to attend to anybody or constantly be doing work because they have that designated time to do so. Which is perfectly fine.
But if you are like me, who work nonstop, attend college, and still make time to socialize, you either love it or hate it. For me, I love it. Maybe not the 19 credits that I take, but the passion I have for starting my career in college of being an inspirer, podcaster, and entrepreneur. Many people don’t live the life of constant hustle for a couple years because they can’t hold off the constant fun that they have. However, the famous phrase that many people say,
“Is living life a couple years like other won’t so that you can spend the rest of your life like others can’t.”
Think about it. Most people that I have met hate going to their 9-5 jobs everyday. They go to school for 4 years, either hate or love it, and then get a 9-5 the rest of their lives and hate everyday of it. But they do it because they have to, to get that money so they can live paycheck to paycheck. Which is perfectly fine, but I know I don’t want to do that. Being in college, I have worked jobs to get money but honestly it is so hard for me to hold them down because I am so passionate about doing my other work for myself. I know that if I get a job after I graduate that I will hate myself. I won’t be happy. I won’t love my life. I would regret doing it. I won’t be doing what I do best. Which is why I am not going to do that.
I have exactly 440 days, 3 hours, 44 minutes, and 32 seconds to build a foundation for my aspiring company and work like never before to live life how I want to. I am not against college and I am not for college, I personally like it because you get resources on campus that you can use, and since my main market is college students that’s perfect. For some people college isn’t for them because they may already have a stable business that they have. Then some people feel like they NEED to be in college just for security but it’s really not needed if you believe in yourself. Many successful people either didn’t go to college at all or dropped out because they knew what they were working on was worth so much more than attending classes everyday.
Therefore, are you living the life you want right now? If you are, that’s great! Live life to the fullest and enjoy every minute of it. If you aren’t or unsure if the life you are living right now is what you want it to be, change it. You are in college, the best time of your life, don’t waste the time that you have because before you know it you will be walking across that stage to receive your diploma. Make it worth great memories, work towards your goals, create achievements, and don’t regret on any opportunities that you could’ve taken.
