Super-Human Students

College is the learning experience of a life time. First, you learn on how to be responsible for yourself such as doing your own laundry, having to wake yourself up for class, and making dinner. The most important discovery made and knowledge that can be gained though is that as a student you learn that you are super human! Your body and mind is put through so many tests mentally, physically, and emotionally. To start off your body does not get the rest it used to. With work and loads of school assignments along with preparation for midterms staying up late and pulling all-nighters simply become a part of your routine. In some cases, one may be lucky to get the recommended eight hours. Going to college means “balling on a budget”. The college life pays a toll on our bodies with the lack of rest it would be the best and reasonable decision to fuel our bodies with healthy food options and reenergizing goodies but instead we do the complete opposite. A cup of noodles is our daily bread! With large consumption of sodium, it is imagined to face fatal consequences but we are super humans and can survive off anything. Finally, the best super human power that you learn is that you can literally pull anything off in college last minute. You may procrastinate and leave an essay until last minute or studying for an exam and still can do the necessary to pull through and pass. It seems that the greater the pressure the greater our young intellectual mind works. College makes you accomplish things you never thought would be possible.

Random College Thoughts

College can be very dreadful. Too much pressure to meet deadlines, even with time management such tasks are impossible. College is a time of personal growth and prepare oneself for the world outside of school. In complete honesty, this blog won’t have a specific theme to focus on but just different thoughts that I have gotten as I have gone through college. To begin with I was always curious about the job of a janitor/custodian (if there is a difference). I wondered if they made a decent amount of money to at least pay off a couple monthly bills. I have thought about it and I think they should be well payed at least in the university level and I imagine even more in a private university or high rank schools such as Stanford, Harvard, and Yale. The life of a custodian or garbage man doesn’t seem so bad and it wouldn’t be if I was aspiring to acquire a minimum paid job with an annual income of $23,000 which is not the case and thus explains why I am in college. I would be a custodian and have a job just cleaning and taking it easy but sadly I cannot make a living out of it. On a side note the tater tots in the Warrior Grill are scrumptious!! I highly recommend them as a snack. You get a bang for your buck as for simply $2.46 you can get a large plate of delicious mini potato bites that melt in your mouth with every bite.

Is College Worthy?

Why do we go to college? What is the main purpose of college? Some may say that college is a gateway to a better job and have a luxurious life style that one desires. Others come to college because they want to further expand their knowledge in a certain field of study. There are also the individuals who attend a university with the hope of finding what they want to do with their live and find ones calling. I have the mindset of becoming a History professor but there has been plenty of times in which I think about dropping out and just working. Working to make good money as money is the motivation. I am currently a part time worker at AutoZone but I debate if I should just work to be full time and make even more money than I already do. There is plenty of entrepreneurs who do not have any college education and end up having a great business and making a living out of the company they started. I feel going to school is now a requirement in today’s modern day. The level of competition for acquiring a good job with a good salary is currently on the rise and will be even more in the future. There is also a social pressure to attend college and obtain a degree if not one may be considered a “failure”. Overall, I’m sure I’m going to continue through college as I always finish what I started but there has been countless times that I think that getting a degree may not always be needed to succeed in life.

Going To College

College for some may be scary while for others it is a sense of excitement as well as freedom. The thought of going out to the world not knowing what to expect and for once in your life having control of your time and schedule both can make an individual fearful or full of joy. The truth is that going to college is not as bad as many make it seem. Yes, there is midterms that one must study for along with finals but if you’re doing your job and putting in the effort at the end you should be good. One secret to succeeding in college is to stayed focused and do your work on time. For example, this blog is due tonight at 11:59 pm pacific standard time and it could have easily been done a whole day ago, but I go distracted by the super bowl (Go Patriots!!!! TOM BRADY equals GOAT!!!) but here I am though trying to finish it up last minute to get credit and start off the semester right. I am a second semester freshman but I feel so experienced already. Going to college allows an individual to have personal growth and learn good skills such as time management. I myself still need to get out of break mode and get into school mode but once you are in your zone things get accomplished so easily. Overall I have enjoyed college and glad I didn’t get a job and just work like I originally had in mind to do.
