My reasons for college

Why I am (still) going to college? - that was the question of Steve Pavlina, whom I respect.
So, I want to think about it there. The thing is - this is a difficult question.
1. It is prestigious. Right now I am at a good college and you will not believe me if I say what college it is. But I would like to go to the foreign country to study, because I would like to experience how it is like to be alone in the whole country and have a purpose for it. Language is also important for me. Maybe I am just a linguistic person.
2. Opportunities in future. Come on, lawyers are well-paid.
3. Fun & experience. If it was not for fun, I would not like it this much. And I have friends there and stuff to do. Today I learned how to play poker. Though, it may be not a good thing to play those kind of games, but as for experience - it was totally great.
4. Parents' expectations. I'm trying to meet them. I'm not trying hard enough, I know that and I'm working on it.
5. To Study. I mean I like to learn new things and I like to have harsh times, critical moments etc. I like studying overall.
6. To have time on thinking and improving my life. I guess that it is my time now. Even though I have a lot of things to do as I am trying to be serious about college. But still I have more time for myself than I would have had if I worked.
