I mean, stuff happened in college but it didn't reach the low level of effort my lazy ass is willing to put in until my 30s. Well, unless you're counting regularly going to the gym as effort.
17 is frustrating for guys because it is difficult, socially, at that age and the hormones are off the charts. But yeah, if you GO IN hating women you're going to have a bad time.
The only thing that really scratches that itch for me is finishing a good series/book/video game.
