College...
So, I am really sick and tired of people saying to me:
"So, where are you thinking about going to school?"
...Tech
"Why? Don't go there!"
...what's wrong with Tech?
"I thought you were smarter than that?"
....what do you mean 'smarter than that', what's wrong with Tech?
"Nothing, I just..."
People, this is really beginning to piss me off. The whole college thing in general is fucking blah to me. I understand the whole bit about actually being able to get a good job that will pay me lots of money once I become an adult, but, I don't know...It's just so stupid to me. Maybe I will regret thinking this way once I'm older, maybe I won't, I don't know how I will feel in the future. But I know how I feel right now. And I feel like I'm tired of people telling me what I should do with my life.
And! It's not even just the Tech that makes people raise their eyebrows, it's what I want to do! At least 3 people have said "Why do you want to do that?" in a disgusting way when I told them that I wanted to be a Sign Language Intp. and study Deaf Studies. What is the big deal? Who cares?! College to me is soo overrated! I just hate the way America gets to tied up into things! Everyone is not college material, and I for one am not willing to waste my mother's money when I know that I'm not ready for it. I just hate the way people categorize Community Colleges and Technical Colleges like they're some sort of fucking hell or remedial schools or something. It's a college just like Clemson or USC. I'm not 'lowering my standards', whatever that means, and I'm not stupid! I just don't want to waste four years of my life, with a bunch of people my age who party, drink, and go to class, like that's the norm of life. I feel like I'm so over that, I'm so past that. I just don't feel that I absolutely need the College phase in my life.
