College

As a young adult going to school is all I know. I've always gone to school and at times feel like I will be in school for the rest of my life. Although I work a minimum wage job now while attending school I feel like this is my life. From the age of sixteen I've always had a part time or full time job and attended school full time. I know the real reasons I should stay in school and benefits it will have after I finish but at times wish there was a lope hole.

I know after I finish college it will be easier to get a higher paying job rather than work for minimum wage job where there is about 50 million bosses before I get to the top. Then there is always that barricaded blocking me from the top because I don't have a college degree and they rather hire someone from outside because they feel that there expertise will benefit the company better than a person who has been there for tens of years. Don't get me wrong I do see where they may be going with this whole bringing in new ideas thing but I don' think its fair to the people inside the company.

I remember in health class the teacher saying that to maintain a healthy life style we must always keep learning something. I guess this could be my way of keeping my mind active and always learning something. But what will happen after I graduate college and I find a job but all the skills I've been taught in my four years are useless? What if college is a wast?

Fustration

Being back to school for the first semester in a long time I felt like I had to get back in the swing of things. I guess I've been away from school too long. Back to homework, tests, lectures, and oh did I mention tests. For some odd reason no matter how hard I study for a test I never feel prepared enough. Sometimes I'll score a really good grade and sometimes I'll just bomb the whole thing. Oh did I mention that the results might be the same weather I studied or not.

As of last week I had three tests and one paper which consumes the same amount of time and preparation for a test. For some reason I think all the Queensborough teachers sit around and decide when to give a test and they all give a test on the same exact week. I think to say "welcome to the real world you bunch of slackers who should be in a four year school but your lazy asses are here so we're going to punish you". Well I don't think their actually saying that but let me just amuse myself.

It wasn't all their faults because I should have prepared a few weeks a head of time rather leaving all the studying for last minute. I studied and studied and after it was all said and done I was so pumped that I was ready to continue. But the semester is almost coming to the middle and I feel like we just started. I hope I'm more ready nest time and I'll try to prepare ahead of time.

OK enough bitching about my life now more writing about things of more significance.
