I remember the day I realized that I was done with my first year in college. I felt like I had achieved a fete that no one else has ever set sight on let alone accomplished. I felt proud of myself, and was sure that my friends, parents and neighbors will look at me from a different perspective. Little did I know that the world is no respecter of persons, or dreams.
My first few days at home were spent on my gaming console, trying to cat up on the new games I missed while at college. I spent money on snacks, and spoilt my rapport with my parents because I was ever glued onto my screen. I thought that this was the actual meaning of being out of school, and no longer being a sophomore.
Come to think of it latter, it is not how bad you become, it is not about how rebellious you can get, what matters is what you get out of the entire escapade. Some of my friends got jobs, they now drive to school; others became good to their parents who in turn rewarded them in their own ways.
Close line? some people benefit while others do not, it all depends on how you deal with people and maintain you reputation even when you are free.
