Life in College vs (No) Life after College

So, after thinking for hours about what to write, I decided to take a stab at the changes in my life over the course of past two months.

Its been more than two months since I went through the transition of being a irresponsible, careless, always free, irregular schedule college student to someone whose responsibility is to be responsible, careful, fixed schedule worker. In these two months, I have learned a lot about myself, people around me, and general human psychology.

So here are some few key differences between School & Work which you will better off knowing before hand -
1. Remember the days when we did everything in this world to avoid a 8 am class? Remember when we slept till 10-11 because we didn't classes that day? I am sorry to break this out to you, but, you have been scheduled for 8 am classes for the rest of you career. Well almost! No more choosing and avoiding classes, no more being in bed till noon. Get up & get going!

2. You thought school work was intense? You thought meeting deadlines was the worst thing ever? Think about this - You at least knew a week in advance before anything was due. When you are at work, you get to know hours in advance of when something is due. Now, that may not sound that bad, but, we as students, are now used to procrastinating so much in college that its almost impossible to get started without procrastinating & 'getting mentally prepared'

3. Say goodbye to afternoon naps & fiesta lunches!

4. While you are saying goodbye to those two, make sure you bid adios to random fun filled allnighters too. And obviously thirsty thursdays!

5. Ever heard about schedules when you were in School? If not, then you will soon know what I mean! There might be times it will be hard to differentiate between two work days!

6. Oh, remember those days when you had to take the pain of getting your formal clothes ready for a career fair? Well, be ready to take that pain on a regular basis now!

7. At some point, you might also ask yourself that how did you survive before breakfast in college? And, when you do think about that, just try and count the number of days you were awake in time for breakfast when you were in college.

Now that you might be already shit scared to start working, there is one huge difference between School and Work..One that can offset all the disadvantages already mentioned.

You get paid to work while you pay to go School. Money. Moolah. Its an addiction. Makes the impossible, possible!

No points for guessing the Golden hours of your life.
