What changes have you noticed within yourself after graduating college, or during college; are you satisfied with how you or your life has turned out now that you are older and (possibly) wiser ?

I'm a bit worried and excited about how i'll fare on a personal level in college. My parents haven't gone, so I'm going in blind. (Or, metaphorically, with cataracts.) I'm honestly just curious to see other people's experience in a post-college perspective.
