thoughts on college

When I was in high school I remember a friend who graduated and went off to colleg only to come back home six months later a totally different person! I used to say "college took the silly out of Jenny" I never thought that would happen to me! Now I look back to four years ago when I started college and realize college sucked the life out of me!!! It has been so long since I relaxed that now that I don't have to stress about things I am stressing because my body feels its forgetting something to stress and about and I stress about that! Now that college is over I am having to relearn how to socialize... Its even more difficult to even explain how to go about these things! I find now that Collee was just a total waste! I look now and are the people I went to high school with who I thought were "stupid" for not going to college and they've been working for over 2 years with no college debt and able to begin adult life where I am here still unable to get a job four years later with more debt than I care to think about because not only did I have to pay 20000 to go to school I also had to incure debt to pay to live because I didn't have time to work! In the future I will not be encouraging my children to follow this path I will educate them that college is not the only way out! Did you know barely any of the rich people we associate with ever went to college? I've learned more about life in the three months I've been graduated then I did in the whole four years I was in college and I hope to pass some of this knowledge along rather than others fall in this same hole!

I agree completely, I used to think that people who didn't go to college were stupid and they would never do anything with their lives. But since I dropped out of ECU, I have been able to learn more and do more exciting things since I've been out of school. I've been able to do the things I love (act, paint and live my life) without having ever graduated from college. I do think about returning to school...but then I think things like your blog and I don't think I ever will. :) I might take a few acting classes or painting classes but other than that I think I will continue down this path and "do what I want" for a change. :)
