The wasted potential on this campus (and perhaps all across the country) continues to frustrate me. College is called "higher education" for a reason, and I feel that if your ultimate reason for working towards a B.A. is to get a job then you are seriously wasting your time and money. A liberal education should influence you to start thinking critically about the world around you and about the person you are becoming. The highlight of your time in college should not be your high tolerance. I'm not saying people shouldn't party, but there should be a better sense of balance between your academic education and your social life.
By the time you leave a university, you should have a better sense of who you are or who you want to become. You should be excited for the challenge of finding out what you want to do with your life now that you have 16 years of education under your belt. You should be confident that you can stand out above the rest because you found something you are passionate about and have a vague idea of how to implement that into your work.
Finding your passion doesn't mean that you stop complaining about things. It means that you have something tangible, something personal, that gives you purpose and negates the bad experiences of a bad class or a bad roommate.
If you haven't had at least one extracurricular activity or class every semester from which you walk away, knowing a little bit more about yourself, you should consider transferring.
