A few weeks ago I started class again at Hunter. It's my last class before I (finally) graduate.
I felt like Luke Wilson in Old School…what the hell am I still doing in college?! Can someone explain this to me? Oh yeah, I was working full time. So in my bafflement while walking around campus, I decided to make a list of reasons why this is so, so wrong:
1. I don’t do well with interacting socially with people my own age. I don’t know what normal people do and I don’t have the means or the will to pretend like I do or care.
2. I am almost the age of some professors I’ve had…
3. all the cute boys are…under 21. Great. What’s the younger version of a Cougar? A Bobcat or something. Yeah, that’s what I am. Unfortunately when I was 19 there were no cute boys…or I just didn’t see them because I was concerned with getting out of the building as fast as I humanly could
4. in the last few years I’ve been able to sympathize/empathize with the professors who have to deal with a classroom full of dummies. I feel your pain.
5. in another universe I may have been good with this college lifestyle…if it was the only thing I had to worry about in life, but that has never been the case. I’ve worked since I was 14 years old and I’ve always been too busy to lounge around campus and socialize and plan study groups. I don’t have time. Get in, get out, get on with your life (that’s what he said)
