'9-5 Work Is so Much Harder than University.' No, It Definitely Is Not
So I'm guessing if you are reading this, you're either a god awful, health deprived student like moi, an uneducated parent who believes their sons/daughters are having the times of their lives (they could be), or someone who is just curious as to why the bloody hell students moan ALL the time.

High School in the 20th Century Part 2
She looked like a kind, little old lady, but Miss Ramel was like a tiger in striking position. She was an English teacher and our beloved drama coach. We could get pretty goofy at times, like memorizing different dialogue to see if she was listening. We liked to tell the new kids that she was a lunch lady and to give her our dinner order, or we'd tell them her name was Izzy. But we loved her because she was emotionally invested in us and our production. Miss Ramel directed us with power, deep feeling, and humor. Her front door was red, and that always defined her for me. I loved her.

While that is partially true, I wasn't allowed to point out the average bride is in her early 20s. She has many milestones ahead of her. Her wedding day will always be special, but bigger days are coming. I was forever silent about the years to come, and much more, until now.
