College....I like it, i really do like it so far. It doesnt seem to bother me that i have to ride for 45 minutes a day just to get to Nicholls because once im there its like im just hanging out. Biggest difference between High School and College is that in High School you have classes and occasionally you have time to chill and relax. In college you have a lot of time to hangout and chill and occasionally you have a class to go to. What i love though is that when you go to class, the chilling resumes as soon as you come back out.
Its the little things i like about it. I look forward to getting to school early and grabbing a newspaper and going sit in the union to read it while sipping on a cup of coffee. I love walking to class knowing that if i wanted i could turn back at anytime and skip class. (Not that i would, its just nice to know that i could.) I love that in the union they sell beer. I dont drink and could care a less about the beer but i love that its an option for those who do drink. I love how the first day of school they gave out free pop-cicles and that on the fourth day of school they have a huge campus party in which they give away free pizza, icecream, snowballs, frozen coffee, hamburgers, nachos, 16 oz. Rockstar energy drinks, cotton candy, and various trinkets. It was basically an invatation to skip class though amazingly nobody considers it.
I love how in art a teacher can show a picture of a naked man or woman without students giggling and making rude jokes. I love how nobody know whether your a freshman, sophmore, junior, or senior and i love even more that if they do know what you are, they dont really care. I love teachers who are in the middle of teaching with an hour left of class and simply say "You know what, my voice is giving out, yall are dismissed." I suddenly dont mind drawing the famous still life of a cube in art because now i know that we wont be doing it over and over again for three weeks like in highschool.
Art supplies cost alot and that is stupid, but the money Nicholls owes me every semester is even more and that my friends is not stupid. When i get that check from Nicholls i smile. I smile big.
Everyone in highschool that did not like me and those that i did not like, it suddenly seems foolish to be that way and i say lets all be friends. If we see eachother on campus lets talk. Not because we are only happy to see a familiar face, but because its nice to become closer and better friends. Comments are expected in large amounts for this entry so please let me know how things are going for you. Perhaps you share some of the same views on college as me.
