Let me start off by saying, despite popular belief, I’m NOT this guy:
[EXPLICIT CONTENT]
My top three concerns about college are:
a) That I will end up partying too hard and die.
b) That I will not be able to keep all my classes in check and have to drop.
c) That I will get an STD. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTION!!! …no, fo’reals.
Ok, I don’t think you can compare college to high school. High school, although essential, didn’t provide a very good way to learn, much the opposite. High school was boring, classes were too long, we would end up doing nothing productive all day except for maybe having lunch with a few friends. Oh, and of course, the high school favorite, memorizing a whole bunch of crap that you would forget as soon as you took your test the next day.
The difference between college and high school is simple. College = Learning ≠High School. I don’t have anything against having a school system for kids in that age bracket, it’s obviously necessary, it’s just done horribly wrong and, in my opinion, takes up too much of their time (Oh, and also starts way too early in the morning. You’re gonna start classes at 8 AM, really?).
I’ve already seen Baruch change me, just going to the city every day makes me a different person. Knowing my way around Manhattan will help once I’m looking for work. I’m gaining a new group of friends and new pass times. That’s what’s changing me, that’s why I’ll be different after my first year at Baruch.
