Okay so I have just made a terrifying realization. I just spent two hours reading books on Internet Culture for my English paper and I physically had to pull myself away from them to actually do this assignment. Let me repeat that for posterity's sake: I was thoroughly engaged in academic essays for two hours. Oh my god. Also, within these essays aspects from both sociology and econ (which I caught!), meaning I at least quasi-understand the things I've learned in those classes. Ahhh.
My true realization is that I am completely and utterly a college kid now. With everything I read or everything I hear I have a million different questions as far as its truth, its background, legitimacy, etc etc, which I believe is the ultimate purpose of college, or at least the general college. I truly want to know why things are the way they are and how they got that way and, most importantly, how people feel about the way they are. I want to explore lots of topics and be well-versed in every subject. This is so strange to me. Caldwell County provided me only with a bunch of facts and said "Hey! Have at it!" but here, I am wondering. Yes, wondering.
Wondering is wonderful.
