I think I wanna get a masters, though won't really now until I get to that point to decide. With mechanical engineering, I think it would definitely help me move up the ladder quicker, especially if for some reason I can't get a lot of work experience during college (summers).

I am still in college, though currently doing a full time, off campus internship... as much as i love the real world, living on my own and making money, it just can't beat college. a) i'm lonely as hell, i live alone and i'm used to the fraternity with 50 some odd people around b) its weird going to the bar by yourself, its much easier to invite the girls from down the hall into your dorm room and get trashed c) never, and i mean NEVER will you be in another environment with such a large concentration of extremely hot chicks that all want to hook up. The last reason alone is enough to want to stay in college forever. Each has its benefits, but enjoy college while you're still there... we have the rest of our lives to work, but only 4 years in college! (so why am I doing an internship again??  )

I hope this will still hold true for the honors dorm (if I get accepted into the program),,, I know it doesn't hold very true for georgia tech,,, but that's why I chose to go to ga southern for the first two years,, and classes are easier.

And he has a really strict attendance policy. He takes roll TWICE during class so sneaking out in not an option. I want out! 
Replace Impala with Prius, and that was my Intro to Marketing class.. We were allowed to miss two attendence signins, then it cost us a letter grade. And that really sucked, because he would give tests during the first half of class. If you got done early, you had to stick around close to the room, because class would start back up 10 minutes after the last person finished. Could be 20 minutes after you got done, could be 40...

I'm 32, and have been going to school non-stop since Kindergarden. While I'm working on my 4th degree, I must admit, it's starting to wear on me.  But, untill my company says 'no more' with the tuition reimbursement, I feel it's lost money if I don't take it.

I wish I could go back to good old Calc 1. I'm tired of Hermite polynomials and spherical harmonics and all that crap. Give me the good old limit definition of a derivative and I'll be happy. Oh, by the way, I just spent the entire afternoon from around 1:30 to 10:40 working on my quantum mechanics homework. It was only 7 questions. Tell me that doesn't suck.

Yeah. I was in college for 4 years. In that time, I never had to get out of bed before 8am and was always home by 6pm at the very latest. Now I get up around 5pm for work and get to bed around 8.30am.
I averaged around 30hrs of classes a week. Now I average 42hrs a week of work and I work every second Saturday night and every Sunday night.
I had 'no money' then but now I have money and have a LOT less fun. In fact, I cant remember the last time I really enjoyed a night out.
Enjoy college; dont sweat the exams, party hard, make friends, hang out with them and take all the offers of whatever from women that are made because those offers dont come around as often when you're out in the working world.
Cheers ...
Bless our servicemen & women overseas.
