Before then there were 2 periods in a person's life: childhood and adulthood. The word adolescent to refer to the young portion of adulthood had a positive connotation, as reflecting growth into maturity, ripening from youth. The young were encouraged to imitate the adult and become grown up. Today by contrast we have a perverted view of maturity, an extended period of childhood where the presumption is that crucial decisions may be postponed without incurring a high price for this delay. That's childish. Time is a resource that no one can replenish but children waste it because of immaturity. In that time we could create opportunities that can give us immediate purpose for the present and objectives for the future. Yet so many so-called adults waste this time and potential opportunities in the hope that, by having some bureaucrat punch their ticket at some college campus, the future will be set for success. This is the great deceit of a "college education." It's the culmination of a life time of bureaucratic indoctrination that starts in government schools from kindergarten through high school, and ends killing human initiative. That's why so few have great ideas and even fewer take advantage of them immediately. Those who do, however, lead. They enjoy a freedom meant only for adults.

We all need our breaks and we all need our lazy afternoons. However, how much relaxing can we really do in college? I personally believe that college is the ideal time to start a side business.

Some harsh words- "self inflicted torture." Don't think it's that bad lol but yea I definitely think you could potentially be better off starting your own thing early on in life. @FS. That's what the weekends and spring break Cancun trips are for! I live like a hermit Monday to Friday but am known to have a beverage or two on the weekends. @David.
