A Little Thank You Note to College

Note: I have plans for this to become a part of something much bigger, but I couldn't think of anything else to this sarcastic about just now.

Oh, College. You and I have known each other for, what, about four years now? I feel like I know you pretty well, so I thought I'd send you a bit of my appreciation.

You succeeded to do what no one else could do: break me of the bad habit I learned while homeschooled. Somehow, you managed to wrench away what had become an integral part of me: the ability to learn.

I don't know how you did it, but I obviously owe you a lot. You taught me what it means to do really well: answer 90% of questions correctly while simultaneously keeping nothing in my brain but what I'm doing over the weekend.

You taught me how to never have to pick up a book and still answer questions "right". You taught me that research and knowledge are virtually useless.

All that matters is that I can choose the more correct answer out of the four or five provided.

Thanks, College. I owe you!
