I once posted a thread with the title "They say "college is the best time of your life" There is exactly this promise college will be the best time of your life. If this is the best part of my life I am very scared of what is coming next. I pressure me way too much. I have the desire for an average 9 to 5 job. Though my nervous system does not like that. The last time I gave that a shot and it made me terribly depressed.
I try to compare both. The advantages and disadvantages.
School:
advantages: more free time, less pressure and stress, I think it is easier to find friends there, you are still a teenager or child with less responsibilities
disadvantages: more bullying (at least for me), more toxic cliques, you are forced to subjects like PE and you can get punished for not doing your homework/bad behavior
College:
advantages: the people there are (on average) more mature, one can choose the subject one prefers (I hated at school to waste my on time subjects I hated)
disadvantages: you need discipline and self-control in order to have sucess (this is not my issues) -> noone tells you to do this or that. Noone controls your organization, less vacation, in other countries it is expensive as fuck
I am not sure what I prefer. At school I was bullied very severely. So this part is way better at college. Noone mocks me there and I appreciate that. However at school the pressure was less, I had more free time and a higher life quality because of the lower stress. )if one excludes the tormening bullying and domestic violence at home)
But it is pretty hard to compare these two for me. At school I was not severely mentally ill (at first). The mental illness started but the impact of it grew with every year. The first time I went to college I barely had friends there. Now at the second time I am doing socially way better (at least for somerone like me).
It is a pretty difficult choice. The bullying was traumatizing. I would like to choose the best of both worlds. Less pressure and stress and at the same time more mature and friendly peers. Honestly I cannot give a clear answer. In my current state I would say well probably college but without the school system I would never have met my friends and my life would be (socially) way way worse.
So what is your answer?
