Day 19: College

     Yesterday was my first day at Front Range Community College in Westminster Colorado. I have to admit that this isn't my first day of college in general. I attempted to attend Metro last year. I lasted like two months and dropped out and have been paying my loans back ever since. I hated it there, I hated every single thing about that place. I hated the the hour plus commute at 7 a.m. I hated the pretentious students that crowded the campus, trying to isolate themselves from any human interaction by constant eye contact with their computer screens and blaring music coming from an Ipod IV. I hated it, and so to my parents disapproval, I dropped out.
     But this time its different, I'm prepared and ready. And most importantly, I'm not going to college because its what I expect its what my parents want me to do, Its because I've spent the last year being a piece of shit and I want to change that for myself. I have only been a nineteen year old part time dishwasher college dropout for the last year, and I hate that, more then I hated Metro. I'm doing this for myself, and thats why its a new challenge. I'm going to make something out of my life, and it starts with little things like this (enrolling in a community college or this project as a whole). I'm excited and optimistic. But I gotta go so I can get some binders, notepads and folders. Later!

  1. Dude I had to comment on this because I hate Metro too! And everyone always thinks I'm weird but I hated being cold all the time and people ignoring the no smoking sign, and have classrooms the size of the Pepsi center, and people sounding so smart and not being able to find a bathroom. I went for one semester and have been at Front Range ever since. I'm glad I'm not alone!
