Throughout my life, it has been hammered into my brain that I absolutely must go to college or else I will end up homeless and die and god knows what else. So what did I do? I started worrying about my GPA, my extracurriculars, the awards I "should" get, what I "should" do over the summer, etc. But I have been asking myself this seemingly simple question: Why do I want to go to college?
And I can't answer it. It depresses me, because I've been taking Pre-AP/"higher-level" classes since middle school, (I'm a freshman) thinking all the while that this would help me to obtain something that I thought I wanted. Sure, you could say that I don't need to worry right now, I'm a freshman, yada yada yada, but high school goes by FAST. I can't be a freshman forever, sadly. (Actually, more like "thank god," but that's not the point. :P) I have two questions for you, members of createBlog: Why do you want to go to college & what do you think of people who turn down the opportunity to do so? |

As I've heard it, going to college has simply become a requirement in order to live comfortably (besides that lottery, celebrity, all time breakthrough mish-mash).
Just, life becomes so much easier if you can get a rather good job and all of that. It beats having to struggle to make a living. |
