The Best Four Years

Adults love to say that college is the best four years of your life. During that transitional period between high school and college, some look down on those who thought high school was the best four years for a variety of reasons. However, I don't understand why college is supposed to be the best four. If it is, that means the rest of your adult life (the longest part of your life, might I add) is your decline. You peak in college and then spend the rest of your life knowing you'll never be as happy as you were then. I hope college isn't the best four years of my life. I want to make a life and a name for myself. I want to work my dream job and have a family and spend the majority of my life happy, not just 4 years. So for everyone not going abroad because they love college too much, or trying not to graduate early, just remember there's so much more to life than four years of tailgates and dartying.
