IMO a lot of kids now experience their adolescence in college, not in high school. High school kids focus so much on activities and schoolwork, they don’t get the same social experiences they used to in high school. Now they get it in college.

College becomes the safe island for young adults to grow into their own, gain social skills, and grow relationships for later in life (professional and otherwise).

Which also is interesting because what does this mean for non college bound people?
