I saw a slew of kids in town for Shepherds college orientation. I can definitely say Im happy to be finished with that part of my life. I thought it was going to be the best time of my life, but really it was an absurd amount of required classes that didnt pertain to my major at all and only resulted in more student loan debt. I had about 10 classes that taught me something, one of which wasnt even required, I just took it because I saw a sign for it in an elevator and it sounded cool. That digital art class was in fact the most useful. I met a lot of great people in college, but was exposed to a contagious culture of laziness. I had spent 7 years working on a Mennonite farm prior to this exposure to laziness which made it even more shocking for me. My biggest collegiate accomplishment was the Pirate House. We threw the best parties. I also did a transmission swap along a road and a science teacher let that count as an extra test score. In hindsight I think I should have just lived in the college town and only taken the classes that I wanted to take. A few years out of college no one cares about transcripts in my industry- its all about experience. And honestly anyone can make a check mark in a box that says college graduate. Our old principal at Jefferson was just a fraud and she was a damn good principal. If she hadnt been busted for stealing dolls and exposed as a fake I bet she woulda been the principal for years to come. And when I moved home after graduating to help with my family and be with my Mom when she was ill I delivered pizza and mowed grass until I found a job close by which has become a great career for me- and my wonderful college education was only recognized by a tiny check in a box on an application. I was basically hired because I came to my interview with an Apple laptop. I credit most of what I have learned to my parents and my own trial and error.
