The thing is, a lot of students definitely realize that they're not going to have a lot of time to do stuff like this once they've graduated. If you're contending with a full-time class load, this idea might seem a little bit laughable. It's true, though, that once you graduate college, you're likely to find yourself enjoying a lot less free time than you had when you were pursuing your higher education.
