About
As of right now, I am the living, breathing textbook definition of "senioritis." Anxiously awaiting that day where I make the longest walk across a stage, shake hands with important looking people whom I've never met before and who I'll never see again, get my undergrad in Communication Studies, then get the FUCK out of Lubbock, TX. What the hell am I going to do with a degree in COMS? Nothing. I'm going to take that piece of paper, frame it in a Texas Tech University frame, and give it to my parents. Congrats, Mom and Dad. The $30,000 you spent over the last 5 years bought your now-somewhat-neurotic daughter a piece of paper that proves she can remember shit.
I don't know. Maybe a degree is a piece of paper showing the world (or whoever is in the same room with said paper) that you can stand old fuckers (or sometimes young fuckers) talking at you for 5 years (in my case). If you can stand that shit, you can survive anything.
I've constantly waged hardcore battles inside my head about whether or not I want to go through with this, and I've always come to the same conclusion: yes. But for the wrong reasons. I'd feel horrible if I dropped out of college, knowing my parents spent thousands upon thousands of dollars for a so-called education for me. If I ever had a kid (heaven forbid), I'd slaughter him/her if s/he wasted all my time and money. But, hell, if my kid didn't want to go to college and had a bright future ahead of him/her, you won't find me with a gun to his/her head.
But that's just me.
Jesus, did I just write a blog in my "About Me" section? Heh, guess so. Fuck it.
