Well, the typical cliche that is mostly tied to college from watching countless media productions and talking to former college participants is the wild and crazy parties. Though, why do people have to assume that in order to fit in with the college community, you have to participate in these parties. It almost looks like we did more career planning in high school, and are now blowing off our tuition savings for a good time. Being separated from the family can lead to distress, but remember why you filled out that 75 dollar application in the first place.
