| In response to the BIG LIE:
First off, I hated the fact that it pointed out that some classes are "REQUIRED" courses for school, when some of the classes you have to take doesn't have to be part of your major, it's just another one of those "core-classes" that you must take to graduate. I find it pointless in having those classes except to "buff up" your credits and make you look smart. Although, the article was difficult to read because it's pretty late and i'm very tired, and the fact that it has very confusing words to it, I believe I got the main idea of the article. Like in one paragraph where it's talking about Karen the pianist, where she can earn a living but has to take useless classes that doesn't have anything to do with her major in Music. For instance, Calculus, English, Writing Composition. I think it's just the system that wants to exploit you and take your money, and take advantage of that rule that states, "...You must have this many credits of these CORE classes that have nothing to do with your major because we are retarded and just want your money." Just as it states also, theres another downfall to it, that if you don't maintain a certain score you'll end up losing your vision as a pianist and have to resort to flipping burgers, or baby sitting a fifteen year old kid, having to tutor him in something that you didn't pass in college. I don't understand how you can fail something that doesn't have anything to do with your major or your life career goal, leads to something like taking away your dreams of becoming what you want to be, it's like stealing. It is not fair in anyway that I see it. College can all point to a good life in the future, but like everything else that is HIGHLY over exaggerated, or commercialized there is a catch. There is always a catch. You have to maintain this, you have to take this and that, and this and that. Although this is not THE point of the entire article, but this part is the most important to me, and this is what stuck out the most to me and related to me in my current situation. However, I do believe some classes should be taught in as a core-class, something that will help you further in life, such as my sociology class. This class teaches me ethics, morals, religion, science, and a lot of issues that are in the world today. Whether it be on a world class scale, or just something everyone goes through, it is all relative and should be important life lessons we learn in class. I believe those can benefit us the most in the long run. I talked to many people who graduated and became married and have jobs and they tell me things like, "We don't use our majors in anyway, we don't need them." They majored in things like computer science. I also know people who have just recently graduted and they always say,"...I forgot everything that I learned in school thus far." But I sincerely believe that it is not the textbook answers that effect your life and have a lasting note in your mind, I believe it is the life's lessons that you learn during those times, The morals, the troubles you went through, just the experience you had in high school or college (if you are a graduate.)
Oh yes and if you don't know what that shirt is saying, Yes you are still normal because it's a FOB SHIRT lol ...isn't that the funniest thing you've ever seen ? PEACE WORLD! |
