Were they taking school too seriously?
Dated a girl who hated college and took a ridiculous amount of hours each semester and the summer semesters so she could graduate in three years.
She was in a sorority and went to parties, but continuously bitched about her workload.
I found that stretching it out to a five year plan made for a more enjoyable college experience.

"the time of my life?" No, but in retrospect, it was nice not having to worry about paying bills. I was also younger/healthier. Could stay up later. Needed less sleep.
I like the routine that work provides. 8-5 Monday through Friday. Can spend my time how I see fit when I get home. It's not like I wake up at 7 AM on Mondays, 12:00 PM on Tuesday, etc.

You probably know how I feel about that school but I commend you for going after you served. I bet you were just a hair more focused than those shitebirds right out of HS. Did you happen to go back in as an O after you graduated?

I hated college. I worked 60 hour weeks and starved myself.
I do like the no student loan payments though.

I enjoyed my college years but my 30's were far better
Money in my pockets and fun friends made for an amazing decade

From personal experience I hated college. I wasn't set up well, as I had moved in middle school from New Hampshire (extremely high end education state) to Louisiana (extremely low end education state) and I never had to learn how to study or use time management skills because school was just too damn easy. I had a major surgery at the beginning of my junior year which radically changed my plans, and everyone pushed me into Engineering because I was "smart". So I got to college, had no idea how to manage time, study, and was stuck in classes I hated, which lead to me skipping a ton of classes originally. This lead to an awful first semester, and then some underlying depression and anxiety issues kicked in, which again I was not set up to deal with (my parents were pretty religious), and I ended up graduating with a 2.59 GPA. I hated college, it was a horrendous time in my life, but I have the paper, have a CPA, and now I'm on the upward swing at a CPA firm after spending some time in government.

I was a server and bartender during college. I had so much fun but it wasn't due to college, it was outside of it. Women just throw themselves at bartenders. I recommend that job to any young person.

Looking back now, it was great fun. At the time, very stressful for me.

Did he get into med school?

It's more of an 18-22 thing than a college thing, imo.
