You're speaking too generally. Many people don't feel that way about college. I didn't. My husband didn't. My father, sister, and cousins didn't. Lots of my friends didn't. Etc.

I think most people rebuild their lives to some semblance of function rather than wandering around for five years feeling lost and confused.

So, it's definitely a personal problem, although I really do want to stop having college nightmares. They're getting annoying.
