College to me is just a big old waste of time. We spend a lot of money and waste a lot of time for a piece of paper that only means something in the job market. I don't even want to go into the job market but I "have to", thus I "have to" have a BA. Don't get me wrong, I love learning and knowledge, but thats not what college is these days. College is a series of required classes, "credit hours", "proficiency exams, and a whole list of other bureaucratic bull shit. College is pretty much a business and these schools try to do everything they can to keep you here. Hardly anything I've learned in college is useful. All my important life lessons I've learned through experience, mistakes, and learning about subjects of interest to me. If that movie acceptance was a reality, except not as drastic and extreme, college would be awesome. Just learn about what you want to learn about for four years then get a job. Fuck Lit 232, Math 105, Comm 104 and all those other bull shit classes. What the hell did we go to High School for if we're just going to do it all over again the first 2 - 3 years of college. I want to learn through traveling, trial and error, experiencing life, learning through people we know, and reading what I want to read. I don't want to come to a building all day sitting around for hours on end to hear professors try and relate popcorn kernels to the economy (yeah, that happened at 11am this morning...) Fuckin A. I better be done with this shit next year. But then it's on to the real world and a job. Is that going to be any better? Who knows
I've realized that all these posts have been very angry and negative. I apologize. I'm not some miserable I hate the world bastard. Just in a bit of a funk. Usually happens every year around this time, the winter gets to me. I'll try and cheer up.
Yeah, anyway. I spent all day in the city at class, doing nothing. I still have another class now, then an hour and 45 minute commute home. Good Times.
Snow tomorrow, enough to setup a snowboard jump/rail. Lets hope so, doubtful though.
Waves forecasted for Sunday and the following Monday. I better not be working. Waves then the super bowl would be an awesome Sunday.
