The Worst Part of College


I made a goal a while ago to try to be more positive about everything, but today I feel like I need to rant a little. Getting things off your chest is healthy right? Explosions aren’t usually a favored response. So here it goes.

I hate how all my classes are simply telling us what we can do. There doesn’t seem to be much doing. I’m noticing this a lot in my PR classes. Obviously, I have to be told how to do something before I can do it, but hearing about it only makes me more anxious to be out in the world doing it.

Sometimes my ADD get’s the best of me and I find myself thinking about the hundred other things I need to do during class. Without a doubt, I know I’m the only one who does this. It’s really bad when the subject material is boring, or something I already get. Knowing students do this, why do professors have to call on me when I don’t have a clue what is going on? It happened yesterday. I was sitting in class, thinking about what groceries I needed to get, what I still needed to do for my brochure and print ad and trying to figure out what I wanted to eat before I went to work. Clearly, my brain was not in the same classroom as everyone else. I was doing fine on my little think train until I heard it.

“Rachael?”

Head jerks up, confusion floods the eyes and I stare blankly, completely clueless as to what’s going on.

I had to apologize for not focusing, making my cheeks burn. 3 more semesters and then I can stop hearing about how great it is and actually start doing. I can’t wait!
