Did anyone else not really enjoy their college experience?

College was always built up to be this transformative period of our lives where we’d discover ourselves, experience new things and learn so much about the world and other people but for me…a lot of the transformative experiences I’ve had in my early 20s so far happened more so once I graduated or, even while I was in school, they happened while I was off of campus. The “college experience” really did nothing for me. Lowkey feel like I wasted a lot of money tbh.

College to me felt like an extended version of high school but just, I wasn’t living at home, and I was paying for it but that’s about it.

I did get a degree though so I’m very appreciative of that, lol. But everything else kind of seemed like a let down because it was almost like, I didn’t need to go to college to experience or learn most of the things I did.

Does anybody else feel this way?
