Who Are WE? We're PR3!

The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

to borrow an idea from Dimitri Martin, i am matt scott, person. i am like everybody else, as long as they have two eyes, a nose, and an irrational fear of cherubs. something about them just creeps me out. i am an unwritten story, blank pages waiting to be filled by adventure and tales of heroism. Kurt Vonnegut once said: “Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything”. i agree with his statement, and i never want to grow up. i like to think that i am a person who never ceases to see the wonder in the world. that no matter how bitter and ugly everything gets, there’s beauty everywhere, and in everything. i also love to make people laugh, especially if they’re having a bad day. seeing someone’s frown turn into a smile really makes me think everything is worth it. i believe that laughter is the universal cure. i’ve also heard people claim that life is too short, and i can not disagree more. i think that people take life for granted, and that if they had less time here that they would make every second count. i try not to be serious about anything that counts, and although it sometimes gets hard for those close to me, it seems to make everything more manageable. in short i’m just another stupid human.

i have a multitude of concerns, each more ridiculous than the last. but lets stick with the top three i have concerning my freshman year.           #1: i know this might seem childish, but i’m afraid no one will like me for who i am. i grew up in a very small town where everybody knew everybody. i knew everyone in my school by name, and we all accepted each other. here, i see how big the world really is and how many people are in it. what if no one accepts me for me?             #2: my second biggest concern is that i’ll disappoint everybody. everyone seems to believe in me. my parents, my old teachers, even my aunts and uncles. all of them seem to have these huge expectations of me. what if i can’t fill those shoes?             #3: my third biggest concern is kind of a cliche. what if cherubs are real?

this one’s a good one. what makes baruch different from my high school. well for one, my high school had 400 people in it, including teachers. according to what i’ve heard there are lectures with more people than that. secondly this work is actually challenging. in high school i could’ve done the work in my sleep, now i actually have to use my brain in class. another huge difference is the commute. every day in high school i got on a bus and it took me to the next town over to school. now i have to wake up every morning and get in a metal tube for an hour or so, then walk a few blocks to class. every day is a new adventure.

i think my first year of college has already changed me. i already feel more mature and more like an adult. i feel like my first year of college will give me a glimpse of who i can be in the future, and what i’m really all about. in short, college is a time machine.

    I have mastered some new elements from your internet site about pc’s. Another thing I have always thought is that laptop computers have become a specific thing that each residence must have for many reasons. They provide convenient ways in which to organize homes, pay bills, go shopping, study, hear music as well as watch tv series. An innovative technique to complete these tasks is by using a notebook computer. These personal computers are mobile, small, effective and lightweight.
