Being a university fresher can be hard
I really don&#x27;t understand why things are so different than &quot;back then&quot;, as all I can think of is that there was no social media in the 70&#x27;s and STD&#x27;s would not kill you.  There were drugs, there was drink, lots of music and the remnants of getting one&#x27;s ass shot off in SE Asia.  Same courses (Shakespere, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, History, ...), same experience of going from a sheltered home life to unsupervised time often in the big city.  Where it was up to me to schedule my time and handle my required events.<p>What am I missing that makes things so different and so difficult today?  This isn&#x27;t meant as snark, merely that I didn&#x27;t have kids and I&#x27;m really curious as to why there&#x27;s such a generational difference.<p>I fully understand how individuals can crash and burn as they did it then as well.
