Brian Monaghan’s Monologue

Want to know what really gets me? College.  There is something about it that is just a different form of living.  Between the classes, school work, free time, and possibilities for going out in the city, it’s a new world.  These terribly boring classes I have to sit through are even more boring and worse than High School.  But the bright side, I can sleep without being disturbed and I can miss class for no apparent reason and it will be completely okay.  Because honestly, there are a lot of completely pointless classes to be at that will do nothing for me.  This is why I think Baruch has in the four absence rule, this way there are things you can miss but if you miss too much then you won’t be getting the right education.  The school work and the free time almost go together for me.  This is because I seem to have a lot of free time until I get a paper or have a big test the next day.  Although these High School habits are working now, we’ll see how much I have to change them when things gets little tougher.  This is why I have so much free time and don’t really know what to do.  This is part of the reason I recently got a job at Niketown on 57^th street.  Oh yea, and I love the money too.  Money brings us right into the nightlife aspect of the city.  It kind of nuts, but definitely expensive as hell.  That’s why you have to think of crafty ways to do fun things for cheap.  But, then again, I would never do anything to change that because it’s the most fun and best city in the world. I don’t think any other college could top this experience.
