<p>I hate it.</p>

<p>Who wants to guess why?</p>

<p>[YouTube</a> - Asher Roth - “I Love College” (OFFICIAL VIDEO)](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43pkqeamXe8]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43pkqeamXe8)</p>

<p>Ehhh… the heavy work load? Your roommate?</p>

4

<p>You have bad grades?</p>

5

<p>You have anger issues and ■■■■■ on internet forums?</p>

6

<p>^ this, instead of chilling and making friends.</p>

<p>If you are like Asher Roth, college is a lot of fun.</p>

<p>If you are like me, college is a bore.</p>

8

<p>so what’s your reason</p>

9

<p>The reason I hate college is because nowadays too many people go to college, which lowers the value of a college degree. If I want to stand out from the crowd I will likely need a master’s degree, but graduate school is too deep and too intense for a person like me who doesn’t like to work too hard.</p>

10

<p>Wow… I really don’t know what to say.</p>

11

<p>I don’t agree with literally what Asher Roth’s song, but the underlying message is that college is about experiences, relationships, and people. I will be sobbing throughout commencement this May.</p>

12

<p>I agree, I think college is half a daycare for young adults and half an institution to predispose young adults to working long hours. College is becoming a brand these days…basically certifying that you are a compliant and obedient law abiding citizen. Everything else is meaningless indulgence.</p>

13

<p>Because the teachers secretly hate you and you hate the URMs?</p>

<p>"I don’t agree with literally what Asher Roth’s song, but the underlying message is that college is about experiences, relationships, and people. I will be sobbing throughout commencement this May. "</p>

<p>You can also acquire life experiences, cultivate relationships and meet people outside of college. I think college is, or was intended to be, about acquiring knowledge and abilities that will enable you to become a productive member of society. But with so many people running around with college degrees, it’s uncertain whether I’ll ever be in a position where I can make meaningful contributions to society.</p>

15

<p>

That is rather cynical. I’m going to be blunt, but this advice has helped me:</p>

<p>Shut the hell up and stop worrying about what other people are doing.</p>

16

<p>wow hopefully most people aren’t as pessimistic as you in college</p>

17

<p>Then drop out and give your spot to somebody who wants to be there.</p>

18

<p>I would hate not going to college even more than I hate college itself. I think that my real problem is knowing that a college degree has become a very standard minimum requirement for almost any decent job, meaning that your reward after college is averageness, not something worthy of a serious investment.</p>

<p><em>plays worlds smallest violin</em></p>

<p>You should be gald to get into college in the first place. And stop complaining about what other people are doing around you…</p>

20

<p>there are plenty of careers that don’t require a college degree</p>

<p>If you really don’t like college but you want a decent-paying job, look up good trade schools and find a trade you’d like. HVAC technicians, electricians, carpenters… they get pretty good pay because it’s hard work and because a lot of people think they’re “above” this sort of “blue-collar” work. so there aren’t as many people qualified to be mechanics, HVAC techs, etc.</p>
