College is...
By Emma Allmann | Aug. 14, 2017A buffer before you have to deal with “the real world” ? Three jobs and a full class load ? Vitally important to your future ? Somehow still a privilege not a right ? Easier than it used to be, so stop complaining ? Constructed by people who used to “have it hard” ? Too P.C. ? Not the place to talk about race, sex, or culture ? Pointless if you’re an English major ? Failing to teach people to write ? Pointless if you’re an arts major ? Failing to teach people to creatively solve problems ? Pointless if you’re a philosophy major ? Failing to teach students to think of the big picture ? A place to take risks, don’t be afraid of mistakes ? Hugely important, so don’t screw it up ? An opportunity to network for your career ? An opportunity for employers to get unpaid interns ? A good time to travel ? An unpaid internship and tuition of at least $10,488 a year ? A good time to start saving money ? An unpaid internship and tuition of at least $10,488 a year ? A good time to follow your passions ? An unpaid internship and tuition of at least $10,488 a year ? A place to make new interesting friends ? But don’t fall in with the wrong crowd ? A good time to figure what you want to do with your life ? Only supposed to last four years so hurry up and decide ? A good time to listen ? A good time to learn who, exactly, is worth listening to.
