Things learnt at college

Many people think that college education is useless. Well, in my case, it seems quite true.

While you have limited time with a higher goal than before, college life itself can be challenging.

However, i believed in our orientation and successfully changed that period into a more challenging one by:

Making time to go to lectures of different topics. As those lectures gave you completely different ideas and perspectives, you became confused and lost afterwards. And what made it worse was that you forgot about most of it even after listening attentively.

Choosing teachers and lessons based on my own interests, rather than teachers who grade well. That didn’t benefit you as you would receive a transcript later that honestly graded your performance in the class that you might not be familiar with at all.

Working hard during summer vacations in the libraries. That was the reason why you appeared exhausted in the next semester and the study itself didn’t bring much outcome.

And if you didn’t have a boyfriend or a girlfriend either, that period just seemed totally worthless.

So, what did you learn at college?

That doesn’t benefit you as you would receive a good transcript later that couldn’t honestly graded your performance in the class, as in the end that you might not be familiar with the material at all.

Working hard during summer vacations in the libraries. That was the reason / explains why you appeared exhausted in the next semester / at the start of the next semester and the studying itself didn’t bring much outcome any results.

And if you didn’t have a boyfriend or a girlfriend either, that period just seems (to have been) totally worthless.

So, what did you learn at / in college?
