I agree. That is college. But it sure is one damn LONG and STRESSFUL 'joke'. And, I'm still not done. :]
I have coffee with fixings everyday. Fantastic turn of phrase! (au lieu de dire les maux-dits *tousse*tousse 'splenda et half&half').

Such a mystery. Not.
College = paying tons of money to become a chronic slacker, losing any semblance of a normal sleeping schedule and developing a habit of putting in the least amount of effort as possible. Also, sweatpants to class.
Job = getting paid to be a healthy and efficient person, in order to look and feel good for a task that demands genuine effort (usually). Also, decent clothes.
How does college make sense?
Of course, I really wouldn't be where I am now if it weren't for my education. But when I think about that college degree printed in bold on my resume, I can't help but imagine my employees looking at it and saying, "Okay, we see that you invested several years worth a buttload of money into last minute papers and pre-finals solitaire. Let us give you this job so you can make up for it and learn how to live as a properly functioning human being again."
I'm sure tons of people who actually try hard at school would be offended reading this. But seriously, college is a joke.
