Is it normal for university freshmen to lose control?

I'm just finishing up my first year in university, but thanks to poor decisions made last semester, I'm now stuck with an extra year before I can get my degree.

The reason I'm in this situation is because I got lazy with my schoolwork, and it got to a point that all I cared about was getting wasted. Now I don't want to get wasted anymore.

Is it just me, or does it happen to alot of freshmen?

  • Honestly, it's appalling how many freshmen are like you. You are normal.

    I think you should feel bad about it because you just wasted your time and money (or your parents money, which is worse). Now you know how shitty the repercussions of that are and you'll avoid being so irresponsible in the future. Live and learn.

    I have 2 undergrad degrees and working on a double masters postgraduate degree. I work in law enforcement- I make a shitload more than ppl who don't have qualifications despite how long they have been with the organization or what they know. My pay is also increased automatically into a professional stream and goes up in pay point increments irrespective of enterprise bargaining agreements which determine national wage levels. If you can, get the education. It certainly doesn't do any harm.

  • It's much more important which school you attend than how long it took you.

    Don't worry about it. If you had fun, that's good! Think of it as a learning experience. Even though you now have an extra year, so much could happen. You may make wonderful friends, or have a blast your last year. Good luck to you!! Your going to college, that's all that matters. So many people these days don't.
