I'm Back!

Hey everyone.

I haven't been writing because I have been traveling. I am now situated back in my dorm at school and mapping out my class schedule so I do not get lost on Wednesday. Truth of the week: Sometimes campus is a bit overwhelming.

Oh well.

The real Truth of the Week is this:


College, besides the education part, is a really really bad idea. If you think about it, when is it ever a smart move to contain hundreds of rambunctious teenagers in a relatively small area with zero adult supervision? The answer is probably never. Isn't this moving away to college business just opening the door to all the possible shenanigans we youngsters could get into? There is no one there telling us to eat our vegetables, make our bed, finally throw away that piece of leftover pizza from a few weeks ago. We are our own people now. It goes without saying that there will NEVER be a moment when everyone in the dorm is asleep at the same time. And for that matter there probably will NEVER even be a time where everyone is just quiet. You're roommate will probably have a different sleep schedule/study habits/music preference than you. There will always be that one room that insists on blaring their sub-par techno.

But, honestly, I probably wouldn't trade it for anything. Being here makes a person stronger, more independent, related to MacGyver, and some how magically turns you into an adult one day. (I threw in the MacGyver part for fun :D It takes a lot of ingenuity to make the same dorm food taste different every day.)


Happy MLK Day!

PPS: I just got reminded that QK looks a little like a sideways ninja. Just thought you should know.

  1. I think kids are at school too much. Period. Too many hours, too much homework. In high school teachers never realize that there are other teachers assigning homework as well. And just because we send our kids to college does not guarantee their success as adults.
    College does force you to be responsible for yourself. But, the only thing worse than the dorm life mentioned above, is going to an all girls college where you have entire dorms PMSing at the same time and more drama then you'll ever see on "Secret Life"!
