College apathy
I haven't been enjoying the college life as much as i had expected i would. Don't get me wrong, i do like it, and some aspects of it; not having to report to anyone, individualality, being able to go out and hang out whenever i want. But i feel constricted, into this 1984-stlye routine, where i just make life's progressions with complete consideration to the passt, nad that alone. It is like i am wearing blinders, and am only here because i was told this is what i am supposed to do. But it is like that one question: would you ratehr be rich or be happy? Everyone always says the right answer, but rarely seems like they live it. This is what you do to be rich: you graduate from HS, go on to college and do well and go get a fucking job. Congratulations, that will make me rich, and that is on the path that i am on right now. But i would rather just skip college, get a job or do something that i like, and just do whatever i feel like doing. Having fun, being happy, living life like i wanted to live it. People are just so afraid to break the boundaries of the sterotypes that society has placed weightily on our chests to uphold these traditions, and directed a given path, marked clearly with signs, tables, graphs, and miles of textbook papers. Well, why not take the road less travled? We, like myself, are all hypocrits to routine. We say this is how we want to be: happy. But we spend so much time directed ourselves away from that happiness that we so often forget what that means. Fuck college, it isn't something written in the ten commandments as a necessity for sucess, because i believe we have agreed upon as a society that sucess does not mean spending money to blow, it is that we live that life that we wanted to live, the way we could not have been mroe content. And for some, college is that thin line that thye must travel between mental sucess and failure, but for me, i don't think it is the path i want to be traveling on.
