Top 10 Reasons to Love Your Undergraduate Years

10.) Most still don't consider you a full-fledged adult, so you get exceptions for your mistakes.

9.) Your "job" is to expand your horizons, becoming well-rounded person; so, if going out and drinking two or three nights a week is what it takes, then so be it.

8.) Your professors do 95% of the work.

7.) Other students (mostly those who choose to remain permanently stoned or in the absurd world of jocks) make it very easy for you to look very studious.

6.) You receive strokes without asking for them and without really wanting them.

5.) "Doing extra work" is usually equivalent to finishing the assignment.

4.) It's okay with everybody involved if the projects you work on for extracurricular activities trump your concern for your class work.

3.) Your sense of accomplishment partially stems from your abilities to come up with the best jokes relating to a class/professor/class materials.

2.) You haven't yet begun to realize how much time you waste.

1.) Sitting in the library, albeit while chatting with friends or surfing the net, totally counts for a day's work.

Call it nostalgia, call it grieving...call it whatever you like. All of these things about undergrad make me laugh, and they all make me want to return to that atmosphere--not as a student, of course.
