So, college, a good thought and a bad thought. I'm excited but I'm not excited. I'm really just sort of confused. I'm DYING to get done with highschool. I don't understand why people told me before i started highschool that it'd be one of the best things that would happen to me. Ya know, like one of the best times of my life. haha...yyeaahhh, not so much. Highschool has had some fun stuff. I've met some amazing people that have changed myself and my life for good, but there was a LOT of bad. And i don't mean to sound so pessimistic, but highschool really has just been a stress fest and i dont see how it was worth it. We just learned about Benjamin Franklin and his point of view on education. He educated himself by reading the classics and studying philosophers. Things like that! A lot of the greatest people in history educated themselves like that. I read the classics in my spare time, but if i had more time i'd be able to read them more. Books that educate me are my favorite. I love learning about philosophers and i enjoy classes like sociology but i wish they'd take it a step farther and teach us how to succeed. I will use some math in my life but to be honest i never want to go into a profession with extreme math skills and Precalc is pretty advanced skills. I think there is some rearranging that needs to be done haha but i'm grateful i had the chance to learn. All the highschool drama just seems to be drowning me. I'm lucky to have drama free friends. We'll see how college is. I hope i get some good people to room with.
