Yeah, well I had a pretty crappy school life, but it was kinda ok toward the end ? I was overall a model student back then, adults liked me for who I was.
I would say that college is overall a golden prison. I'm just about to graduate and I have mostly just memories of stress, caffeine-driven all nighters, lots of bullshits and a feeling I've overall wasted 7 years of my life, without any real hobbies, hopes and motivations.
It's not even that worth it to be honest. I've seen guys who worked after 2 years of Uni and being a lot more successfull than whatever all my struggles brought me. I wonder what the fuck it was for, today I still struggle at understanding my job, and now I'm impered with a long-lasting depression and a self-confidence in the negative range.
So I can totaly get that some graduates who used to be models students hate university.
