Graduation

So, to graduate means to move on to something new right? It means that I will be able to have some kind of possitive impact on society because now I have all these sophisticated tools to aid me. What a load of bunk. Help society, that's what they say they want you coming to their school to do, yet the whole time you're there all you hear is how to promote yourself. What can you do to help others, the message I got was, you can't really ever help someone, what you have to do is make as much money as you can not being a blue-coller worker, and then, if you feel so inclined give money back to the school so that they can decide how to help those less fortunate (also known as freshman). I have been told that the best thing I can do with my life is to not let others tell me what to do. Believe it or not I have not yet gotten my diploma and already I have been getting calls asking me to give money back to the school, they want me to raise funds for an institution that should be run out of town for their neglect. No, I don't think I am what they want a graduate to be. I am four years older than I was back then, I am, honestly, four years wiser. But this wisdom comes not from lessons I learned in the classroom but lessons I learned about the classroom, about society and about the wealth of knowledge that sophicates the potential out of university students. Long live Indiana University (IU).
