(no subject)
if i could sum up this week in one word, it would be: anticlimactic (definition: an event, period, or outcome that is strikingly less important or dramatic than expected)
yes. STRIKINGLY less important than expected. i graduated fucking college. this week, i accomplished a finale to the last 15 years of my life spent in education. and nothing happened. i guess i shouldnt say nothing... i experienced the happiest feelings i've ever experienced while on that god forsaken campus, to know that i'd never have to step foot there again. thats pretty noteable. and i got a lot of facebook congratulations. that was nice. but i'm sorry to say, i was more thrilled about signing up for tanning at my gym, than i was to be done with school. and i'm not even kidding.
contrary to how it might sound, i'm not that pissed off about this. really, it sums up my time in college quite nicely. all of the things i'm proud of or happy about exist separately from school. my friends dont go to this college; my job is in no relation to this college; my relationship has nothing to do with this college; and my family lost interest in college when i switched from a bachelors program to an associates degree. so these feelings should not come as a surprise. it just makes me a little bit let down. i thought being a college graduate would leave me feeling a lot more accomplished. however, i dont feel any different. so to anyone who is letting college kick their ass and who is working SO FREAKING HARD to get through it and succeed because they know its what they want (aschli) please stick with it. because very few of my college courses were challenging and since i never really made a decision about what i wanted, its safe to say college has been wasted on me.
