Today, like yesterday and the 3 weeks before that, I do not understand my Economics homework. I'd like to blame it on the big words and academia talk that these college books like to express their teachings in. The shit is so difficult to understand sometimes I have to literally elaborate on every single word just to make a sentence make sense. Am I stupid? Or do I just not have patience? Hmmm?
So as I sit at home in tears because I cannot figure this shit out, I decide to write about my frustrations hoping that some sort of DING!! will go off in my head and I will suddenly understand it.
I have never been one to complain about why I have to take this economics class. In fact it irritates me when people say things like "Why do even have to take this? Im not going to be a freaking Economist?" Yeah, I take the damn class because thats what the college says to do and then just cry because I dont get it.
On the topic of college, I have opinions about real life and college. The whole purpose of this 4 year prison sentence is to gain a better job with better pay and better benefits. However, I am a firm believer that the most important things for a job will be learned and developed on the job. I hope I never have an interview where they may ask my for grades. My response will be "C's get degrees.
That's it. I put too much pressure on myself. I am sitting here trying so hard to be an A student when in reality I am just a B and C student. And I am coming around to the idea that it is okay. All those A students are overachievers anyway and have no real life experience. Yeah thats it.
I would much rather be working in a career where they pay me to think things out and understand them. I have little patience for this whole college thing. If I didnt like money so much I probably wouldn't go. I am a product of the now generation. Immediately isnt soon enough.
In closing, I will give myself a pep talk... You are an intelligent individual. You are capable of doing anything. Nobody by yourself is judging your abilities. A grade does not define you. . . . C's get degrees... :)
Yes, C's get degrees, and no one will EVER ask you your GPA in a job interview unless they are totally lame. And yes, there is no reason to ask "Why do I need to take this Economics class?" BECAUSE, college is just a game. You don't get to make any of the rules. Instead, you just follow the college rules and if you stay within the lines enough, like getting C's, then you get a shiny new degree at the end. And for the record, the C students and the A students get the same degree. Hang in there, the end is sooner than you think.
