I hate to pull out the ol "you'll understand when you're older," but I really didn't understand the truth in this statement until I went to college. It's a big, big world out there, and FRC is really only a tiny piece of it. At first, I wondered how I could be intellectually stimulated without FRC, now, I wonder how I ever put up with the insane hours, stupid inter team conflicts, and all the hard work that never seemed to pay off. I'm glad that I had the opertunity to do FRC, but I'm also glad that I'm taking a break now. There are so many awesome things to do at school that FRC no longer feels like the best use of my short time in college.
Plus, there is a way to do FRC in college. It's called mentoring. And, if you find the right team, it can be exactly the right level of fun, commitment, and involvement to suit your needs.
