I have always been living in the "real world". I've been a working and contributing member of society since I was 13. I don't know what world the rest of you grew up in, but mine was pretty damn real. No one in my family has had a sheltered life. We've all worked extremely hard to get to where we are. I really hate the generalization that people who go from HS straight into uni aren't living life, or are sheltered, or aren't part of the "real world". Real world includes study, it includes the university experience, which is often combined with a healthy dose of work and sacrifice on the individual's part. Not every kid at university is a trust fund baby.
