There were parts I enjoyed and parts I didn't enjoy.

Things I enjoyed:

-Freshman, Junior, and Senior year living situations. Freshman year, my randomly assigned roommate had a serious girlfriend and she had her own apartment. He spent a majority of nights and weekends there. Second semester, he spent literally (not misusing the word here) FIVE nights at the dorm. He would come back for a few hours to do homework during the day and then head out. Junior/Senior year was a similar situation, but my roommate was a hot lady friend I met sophomore year. She was dating a guy who lived like an hour away, so she left legit every single weekend. And she had no Friday classes, so she would leave Thursday night and come back Monday morning. So basically, for those 3 years, I lived virtually alone.

-My class schedule. In general, it got better the later in the 4 years I got (the later you are, the sooner you can pick your schedule). I had no Friday classes senior year (and it would've been more, but I took 3 years of a language and those classes meet 5 days a week).

-My personal schedule. I was (am) a big procrastinator, so I had loads of free time. Maybe once a month I'd have a big day at the library and just knock out everything I'd been procrastinating.

Things I didn't enjoy:

-Sophomore year living situation. It was a 4-person suite with two people per room. I really had no problem with each individual person, but rather the group as a whole and the company that was invited. They were all big partiers, whereas I'm not really into all that. So there were always random people in the room. I got pretty sick of it by the end of the year, especially considering I basically had my own dorm the year prior.

-Post-class schedule. Even though I could put off big projects, I still had daily homework and tests to study for. Especially with a language class where there was shit due every day. The thing is, even though there were fewer hours per day spent at class, the time I had free was typically marred with either doing homework or thinking about all the homework and tests that I should be doing. Now that I'm 9-5, even though more time is spent at work, the time I spend at home is worry-free.

---------------------------------------------------

So in general, I enjoyed my time. I maximized my free time and minimized times of stress and hard work. I voted yes.


The post-class work doesn't sound too great. I am glad I didn't have much in the way of homework and studying.
