From the September version of myself, I’d say that I changed A LOT. First of all, I didn’t even want to be in this school. I suffered from an absurd case of senioritis and honestly didn’t want to hear a single thing about school. I wanted to join the Marines or Army and just forget about school, forget about life. But coming to school actually did help me out as a person. I fell in love with the schedule, and definitely came to the conclusion that the fact that I needed to be somewhere at a certain time really helped me get my mind straight.
Coming to school and meeting new people and actually studying something I actually care about really helped me as well because now I don’t mind coming to school. It’s almost like a landing strip for my new educational lifestyle. I was a little freaked out at first, but now, I realized I’m surrounded by a lot of people with similar interests and just a lot of cool people in general. The professors are also very cool; I was actually quite shocked that they would be so down to Earth after all of the horror stories I’ve heard from other college students.
I’ve also developed a lot of hate since September. Hate for the MTA, College, and people. It’s really just a gigantic part of my stress and I have nothing but hate for these things. The MTA has brought me nothing but headaches and anger, not to mention keeping me out in the cold and telling me that trains are unavailable, making me walk absurd lengths. Thank you MTA, for sucking. College is also stressful, not because of the work, or because of the commute, or anything like that. More or less how stupid it works. How the whole signing up process works, and making me take Math. I hate you, math. And people, people have done nothing but piss me off. Walking around ultra slow just to be a pain in the ass, not allowing me to pass by, not allowing me to get to the train that waits for me at the top of the stairs. People, I hate you.
But, I’ve also developed some love. Meeting that person that changes your life is always a beautiful thing. Because of this person I have a new appreciation for life and the people in my life, and life in general. Not only has this person opened my eyes, but my friends have as well. They helped and continue helping me get through my obstacles. To these people: I love you.
And last but not least, this class and all of my English classes were great. I really had a great appreciation for the films we watched as well as the many interesting topics we covered. No lie; this was probably the most interesting English class I’ve ever had in terms of content. Definitely was eye-opening and very interesting to be a part of.
