What kind of college did she go to? I wonder if colleges were set up the same back then...
I'm in a technical college right now. I was going to a university, but I didn't care as much for it, nor did I get the hands-on training that I get at the technical college. Also, univeristy life drains money... fast. Another benefit of the technical college is that they try to hook you up with a job as soon as you graduate.
I've had a lot of fun in class these past semesters. I get to do one of my favorite things: make pictures using computers! There are also many people I have class with that I share interests with (such as Pokemon, anime, video games), so I've made several friends. In my book, that's not wasted time at all. ^^
