We, as students and members of the Statesboro community must give the local authorities credit for being human and not stooping to the level of the police officers in the anti-logging protester's incident. We, especially as students, must remember that next time before we blame the local police because as you see, things could be worse. It has taken me more than two years, but I have finally reached an epiphany. But it wouldn't matter if I were majoring in biology, business or illegal drug manufacturing, because the great majority of what I've learned in college has nothing to do with the classroom. Now I'll grant that class is important, because taking classes is how you get grades.
Grades are good.
Consider the plight of pitiable pre-med students like myself. We take classes like physics and organic chemistry to prepare for the MCAT, which is ostensibly a measure of our medical potential. I have known a number of physicians, and never once have I heard any of them mention a coefficient of static friction or a synthesis reaction. This is not to say I've learned nothing useful in college. The most important thing I've learned would be study skills.
