i think you guys are all fools for rushing through college in 4 years. there's so much to take in in just 4 years, why would you want to risk missing something? okay well i could see the lack of money argument, but that's the only realistic one. not because you think you'll waste your life. life is there for you to enjoy, not to fuck up when you have your high-powered wall street job, when you don't enjoy your life anymore. if i wanted to hate life, i would take 6 classes right now. i might be able to handle it, probably not, and i would end up throwing my life away again. i started off being class of '07. if i get out of college at the same time as my girlfriend (class of'10) i'll consider it a success. it's not going to be a problem though. i can spend 7 years in college and not get a doctorate.
i always laugh when people are cramming assignments into their few spare moments. my parents always told me to push myself like that, so that i can get a good job when i grow up so that my kids will have a good life. that's all i want from life. but my children will have a good life no matter what i have to do to get there. and i won't have kids until i get a job that will support them. but i know for a fact that i won't have to rob myself of all my happiness to do that. i will remain the same person throughout my life, a fun-loving boy who loves his christine and his children, enjoys his job and takes it seriously.
but never seriously enough to hate life.
but that's just me.
