College

People can easily get the wrong idea of college.  While it is nice to have the freedom to choose what and when your classes are, something that people never really put into perspective is the amount of work that college can be.  Maybe it's just being a student athlete and being busy all the time, but I feel like there is also an assignment for me to do, a paper for me to write, or a quiz or test for me to study for.  In no way am I complaining because I know that this is college and I don't have a problem with it, but I am only simply pointing out the fact that people completely underestimate the work in college.  I keep hearing people say, "When is college going to be here?" and "Can I just be in college already?" and now that I am in college I always wonder if they really think college is going to be easier studying wise and easier to blow off, or if they really just want to be in college because of the "freedom" they will have away from home.
