I argee with you guys on college being easy. Sure, we have only been here for a month, and probably think we know-it-all by now, but I personally think everything is easier because I'm getting to study what I like.
My jaw dropped when I relalized my Anthro 201 and Japanese 201 classes were less than an hour long. Sure, my art classes make up for it being an hour and a half Monday and Wednesday, to 3 hours every Tuesday and Thursday. But the time goes by at an enjoyable pace, and I'm improving my skills artistically and linguistically. Where as high school, you sat there in a room for an hour and a half, move for maybe 7 minutes to the next class, and repeat the process ALL DAY, with classes you don't like.
Maybe college comes in different difficulties for everyone, especially if you decide to major in something like math, science, or psychology. To me, those are HARD things to study. But to a person who loves the stuff; easy to them.
I love art, design, language, and have a growing interest in anthropology(I watch too many tribal shows on Discovery Channel). So, presumably, the classes I will take for the remainder of my college career will not be much work at all.
I don't slack and I do try to take notes when I can (or I just go to the study groups to get all the info down at once before a test).
I'd say I'm working less and stressing less here, then in high school. But I'm busy all day with reading, drawing, and memorizing hundreds of squiggly lines.
