University is:

a farce.
a bubble.
an adjustment to limbo.

All we ever hear our whole high school lives is, "Get a good SAT score...volunteer more...study for the ACT's...
Now that we're here, we quickly realize how disappointing it is.
Where are the lights, the fireworks, the music, the spirit, the crazy nights, enthralling classes, and daily aspirations of success?
How come it's got to be like this?

University is just like regular life. You learn stuff, you eat stuff, you do homework. Except now you're in a complex like everyone else, eat in a cafeteria three times a day, sleep in a cot, you don't know anybody and you miss home and hope you'll be successful in four years or less.
Football games, parties, and activities are only fun for a while, before you turn back to the reality of the basics:

You learn, you eat, you sleep, you stress. you feel lonely.
