After a long time of misery of having missed out on my college experience and realizing that going back would be futile and a total waste of my time, I want some help in visualizing what a cool awesome social life looks like after college. There are plenty of examples of the lame office worker drone and the dry loser who had kids and got a mortgage in his mid-twenties so he goes around thinking he is better than everyone. Unfortunately, leave it up to fucking American society and Hollywood to pedestalize college more than anything out there. Frats, sororities, parties, hot girls, craziness, cool people, and man the shit does not stop.
My goal is I need something to aspire to instead of living in regret over something I missed out on. If you can give me books or blog posts to read, movies to watch, or some social media accounts to look at, I am all good.
Well, I am going to buck the trend and start to visualize or look at examples of a cool social life after college, here are some examples I have come up with through observation. Hopefully you guys not just add to these examples but give me reading material too of people who live this sort of life in the modern age. Here are some that I have:
1. Dan Bilzerian and other cool popular playboys that got really rich and are now living the life. I mean outside of being a celebrity, little can rival it, but I doubt most celebrities could even rival it. Everyone says guys like Bilzerian are fake but I'd argue that they are about as fake as a sorority girl at a party school, so look who's talking.
2. The scene from Limitless where Bradley Cooper's character gets in good with people from Wall Street and goes to a party in an exclusive island with hot girls and some cool guys, I need to watch that movie again.
3. A bartender or someone that works at a nightclub in a major city where the hottest girls party, obviously some perks there.
4. A rich guy that travels the world and has high quality pics on his Instagram of his travels to fancy places, meeting cool people along the way.
5. Traveling the world with a hot girlfriend and having top notch Instagram photos of you, her, and some of the friends you have made.
So far this is all I have, I notice none of these involve people with a 9 to 5. I happen to like my work and the nature of it so quitting would be tough for me, not just financially but mentally. It makes me wonder why people attack the 9 to 5 so much since I think without work and purpose there really isn't as much to life. Not just that, I have more free time now than I did in my demanding major in college, after you are done you are done!
