College. More than anything, during my senior year at high school, the word college was synonymous to freedom; synonymous to parties every night and synonymous to finally growing up. Whenever I thought “college”, I thought grassy fields and red plastic cups, hangovers in calc lectures and watching the sun rise from behind a stack of textbooks in the library. So I guess when I decided that I would be coming to Baruch, a commuter school, it was hard not to be disappointed. Dorming was definitely not an option, when my house was just a one hour commute away. I felt like I was getting cheated out of the whole “college experience”. The first time I saw the VC, I immediately thought, “Welcome to High School 2.0”. Everything was familiar. The layout of the building to the way the elevators only stopped on 2,5,8 and 11. It was extremely easy to pick up but at the same time extremely mundane.
But my ideal vision of college wasn’t completely shattered. Even though I compare Baruch to high school, it’s actually way more lenient. With basically half the number of classes that I was taking in high school and only select classes every other day, I have so much more time to do whatever I want. Maybe it’s because I became 18 so now my parents aren’t as stubborn as they were before about late night outs. Maybe, it’s because I got a job tutoring students at a prep place by my house so for once I felt like I was taking responsibility into my own hands. Maybe, it’s because I buy 30-day unlimited MetroCard’s so I can with my friends wherever and whenever I want to. I always thought that these privileges just came bundled up with your tuition fees, dorming fees, and meal plans but I realize that it’s up to you to take these responsibilities. At a commuter school, you have the option to treat college like high school. It’s the same college but a whole different experience. It’s just like playing a game through “easy mode”. So in the end, the decision is up to the students themselves. So when I thought “do I want to be the same person that I was at 15 when I’m 21?”, the answer was pretty obvious. No thanks.

We have truly skated off the edge into Wonderland if the Big 12 asks permission to stage a championship game it really has no intention of playing. Believing that Bowlsby and the conference are instead rational, I choose to interpret this overture as preparation for expansion, sooner rather than later, since there is no point whatsoever in playing a championship game at the conclusion of a round-robin schedule. There is no way in H-E-double hockey sticks that the playoff committee can dictate terms to the Big 12, i.e., that it must have a championship game or that it must have a certain number of teams (it only needs enough to ensure the quality of its champion). Without the Big 12, a playoff has no legitimacy.
i hope so Audi needs a really good sports car not just a A4 with a very fast engine(RS4)i would like to see this 4.2 V8 in the TT like they say vos sprung tecnik
I just wish that voltswagon would give up on trying to have the fastest car in the world, and share it giant course because I am getting tired of looking at the dang bugatti. The koeningsegg if 2x cooler looking than the bugatti, and in theory could break into the 270 along with the hennessy. The pagan is my favorite though:)
Well, for me I think Kratie Province in noth of Cambodia (uper mekong) is the best place to do fishing especialy in October or November. We can go to sand beach or flooting village with fishing net and do fishing. It is very good place to go. I usually have a great time here. If you wanna come I will be your guide.
