Thanks for the comment! I think this is a good attitude, and if you can sustain this attitude this then I think it’s a pretty great deal. I suspect that many cannot hold this attitude, and will feel much more constrained in their choices or the narratives they tell themselves and people in their lives about their time at college, and think more like they’re primarily supposed to do something that other people tell them or expect of them with their time at college.
I myself just barely graduated, in substantial part because of this reason that you mentioned, that my college definitely wanted me to graduate, and so I was able to spend a lot of my time on side-projects. (But I found the experience of pretending to be a proper college student very stressful.)
