I really don't understand why university students protest so much.  When I was a student, I was both physically and psychologicaly crushed by schoolwork and future uncertainties that I couldn't do anything except studying.  And worrying. 

When I was a college student, I spent a lot of my time either drunk or asleep.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Yep, that's university.

I remember at one point I just didn't bother to go in to King's College for six or seven weeks soon after Christmas. When I finally went in I said I had had unspecified "personal problems", wrote four essays in four days, and they didn't say anything more about it. :lol:

Yes.   It can take years to adjust to the common paradigms / expectations of "the real world" after uni.     :huh:
