On College - Listen to Sensei

Sit down, kiddos, I'm going to tell you a story.

No, not that story.

Once upon a time there was a college student. He had done pretty decently in high school, gotten a nice-looking GPA, graduated with high honors blah blah. But now he was in a whole new world. And the government looked at this little student, laughed, and gave him a maze of things to do called 'regulations'.

"You got through Calculus, you can get through this."

The little student was bungling his way through, slamming into walls and confusedly looking around, wondering where to go. He tried calling to the government for help, but they just laughed and gave him some elevator music to listen to.

Finally, he broke through. He'd done it. He'd finally registered for classes. He'd transferred his transcript, filled out the FAFSA, done the sexual assualt courses and yada yada. He went to college and was delighted to start learning new things, preparing for the world, and...

Oh, wait, no. He basically had to sit through two more years of nothing but a repeat of high school, paying through his nose for stuff he didn't want or need and being squeezed dry by living expenses. 

I was looking for photos on how college is a lie, but this'll work too.

So now I hope you're all excited for high school graduation! That 4.0 GPA will look really nice when you're eating ramen in a foreign country, like Idaho or someplace similar.

Stay thirsty, my friends.
