This is an accurate description of my first semester at college. This is accurate because when I first came to Baruch I thought I would actually be taught things and become an intellectual. On the other hand, what is actually happening is that I’m just doing a tad bit more work before. I don’t know if this is suppose to prove something to the teachers, but it proved something to me. Rather, it confirmed something for me. College is just going to be another system I have to learn to deal with. It is not for the real benefit of me. It is only for the increased pressure of society that makes me still go to college. Because this is not for me. I do not sit well in classrooms. I do not pretend I care well. And I have trouble dealing with a teachers short comings when they expect me to be so much more. I was told I’d be treated like an equal, or an adult in college. So why do I feel like all I’m doing is more busy work?
