Most teachers and administrators are only interested in perpetuating their domain. I said most, not all. There are those that are reliable and do care about you and it is up to you to find them, and find them you must. All this may sound like College is going to be boring and miserable. Nothing could be further from the truth.
College is wonderful.
It is exciting and fun. It will be the most productive and important time of your life. You will love it and you will be having fun at the same time. If it is not and you are not, get out because you are either doing it wrong or you don't want to be there. You should be going to school for yourself.
