meaning of "It's such a drag"

[Sylphidae]

What does this sentence mean [or means???] ?

I hate the bus, ya know, it's such a DRAG. Makes me look like a loser.

Aside from 'annoying' is there any other meaning of it?

How about this one?

"College life is such a drag."

Shall I translate this sentence to:

"College life is annoying." ?

[Torsten]

A drag can also describe a boring and tiring activity.

Just another thought on this word. Drag as a verb means pull slowly across something. The expression drag your feet is walk slowly because you don't really want to go anywhere. The word drag as a noun is therefore something that slows you down and you can't wait for it to finish.
