School and what not...

School is an interesting thing. When you're old enough, your parents force you to spend all day with strange kids you've never met. However, Somehow, you make it through Kindergarten, and on to first grade. Things are not as strange, but now you don't get to just play with blocks. You have to learn...*gasp*....letters! Eventually you make it all the way to fifth grade! You're on top of the world. You're finally with the oldest kids in the school. All of the younger kiddies look up to you. Unfortunately, this great reign of power doesn't last all too long. You hit Junior High, and once again, you're down at the bottom of the totem pole. You go through that same cycle again. You hit eigth grade and you are the coolest kid around....until you reach highschool, and you are the lowest of low.....a freshmen. This is sich a monotoneous cycle. The same thing happens, until you hit college. Now, college is a little bit of a different situation. The other students might be in higher grades than you, but some of them have the same classes as you. I myself am in a geography class right now that has freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. It kinda puts you all at the same level. It's not so odd anymore, when an 18 year old is dating a 21 year old. 3 or 4 years, isn't that big of a deal. But, the school work itself is a whole lot harder, than it was in high school. The teachers can be alot more personal. It's just a whole lot different. With growing up, there are so many more responsibilities. I'm not quite sure where I'm going with this. But, I think what I'm trying to get across is the fact of how much harder college is. It's not as carefree and party-full, as everyone thinks it is. The social part of college is awesome, I'll admit that, but the educational part of it, takes alot of dedication and concentration, something, that I will openly admit, that I do not have. I think I'm going to really appreciate the year of school that I'm going to take off when I move out to Denver.
