“You will not sleep for four weeks.

You show up to the first day of class ready to tackle the new school year. As your professor begins to lecture, you suddenly realize that you are still in summer mode. You find that you can’t focus enough to take quality notes and can barely understand what is going on.

It’s 3 a.m. and I’m struggling to keep my eyes open. I’m sitting in my living room with only “Fight Club” streaming on my laptop to keep me company.

If you believe Alice Cooper, then there comes a time when “school’s out forever.” Completing college is a huge milestone that may leave some students in a whirlwind of indecision. Not ready to settle down in that complacent 9-to-5 yet? Don’t want to commit to more textbooks and professors in graduate school?
