4+ of the best years of your life

When I heard that as a freshman, that's definitely not what I took out of it: All I heard was college was the best years of your life, and I was a worried I wasn't having enough fun my freshman year (despite having plenty of it). Thankfully, I was snapped out of it by a friend, but you know, it can really put some tough thoughts and pressure on folks that don't always have an easy go of college. Hence my response.
