I miss college a lot. I don't miss writing papers or studying for tests, but going to the dining hall with friends, napping right after, going days in sweats and hoodies, I miss it all. I mean, working and being independent is cool because not everyone is lucky to get to work full time, but like cutiepatootie said, it would be great to have a lot less adult responsibilities. I mean, it was a time when I could be a grown man, and feel proud of myself for making smoothies every other day for other students.

I also miss catching a greyhound or an amtrak to get home for break and staring out the window. Nothing screamed "college" more than that; comfortable and warm in my Alpha or U of M hoodie, crazy people all around, bothering me while I read the Onion. Really, I miss breaks. I have to be at work every day except the big major holidays. I'd love to have one more unneccessarily long winter vacation. I gotta get back to work now. But my heart is still lying in the grass next to my frisbee.

College days, swiftly pass, imbued with mem'ries fond,
And the recollection slowly fades away...

If I could go back knowing what I know now, I'd go back in a flash! Who wouldn't like to chuck all of "real life's" responsibilities?!

AGDee - I hear you about the energy!

OMG, how may times do I need to post this!

Yes, Yes, Yes.:D

I did not know there would be Greek Activities Advisers and if I did, I would have been all for it!:)

I wanted to work with Young Men and Women, not munchkins.

God, this would have been ideal for Me!:D

Now, to late!:(

It's never too late, Earp!!! :D

Me too!
 

Yes I too miss the days when getting the recruitment skit down and my final at the end of the week were my main worries!
But I had a great time all the time and don't think I missed a thing so I feel like I got the entire package. It makes me happy to think of the new crops every year having more and more fun!

awww yes
 

I don't miss college, but I miss all of my friends from college. And I miss being able to walk into a bar or restaurant or even the library for that matter and knowing that I will know at least one person there. The real world is so much more impersonal!

I miss "Little King Fridays" even 20 years latter.

Don't miss the tests or the all nighters :eek:

Definatley missing school!
 

I'm definatley missing college! I miss the days of toga parties, sleeping through class, and nightly visits to out regular bar! I've only been out for about 2 months but it feels like 2 years!

Ah Yes My Dear, unfortunatley it is!

Own a small business and try this of going back!:(

Would love to be a Greek Advisor for a School and work with them.:D

Haqve thought about it but again a thing called $$$$, reposibility ETC!:(

Oh Tom, if you live where there is a chpater contact your national office or someone else locally and volunteer to help out. Collegiate chapters are always in need of alum advisors. This country thrives on volunteerism, without it we would come to a grinding slow if not a halt. If eveyone who thought they didn't have time to volunteer for their Greek organization would, then those that already are would have less to do. The more people involved, the fewer tasks each of us have to get done. So get moving. You can do it!

I graduated from college more than 35 years ago. I was a Greek, and I remembered good times, but I am glad when young people go to my school (New York University) and keep up the old traditions and just have plain fun. I went on to graduate school at Long Island University, started a career and have a family. My college years will always be special, but they are part of the past, part of growing up.

There were alumnae volunteers working to keep your GLO functioning when you were a collegian. Growing up also includes giving back and volunteering. Who are the alumna volunteers today supporting the opperation of your GLO? Why not you?

I'm right there with you... It's been a year this past May, and I'd give almost anything to be back there. I've learned a hell of a lot since being in the "real world" but I still hate it.
