Thought of the Day - April 5th

I am currently in college and nearing my graduation. It is a time for reflection, a time for affirmation, a time for celebration, a time for skipping classes and blaming it on "senioritis," and a time to retake a freshman level class because you failed it.

Does anyone else feel like college is missing the point? Really, how marketable is it that I can write a 7 page paper about Oedipus Rex? Or that I have learned the difference between Neoclassical and Neosomething-else (didn't do so well in that class.)

Where are the skills? Where is the ability to work in groups? When will I learn what I will be doing every day for the rest of my life?

I sure hope it has nothing to do with writing papers every night about random Greek guys who killed their dad to marry their mothers.
