That "College Life" As We Know It

[Dylan Matthew Wineland]

Let's face it. If you want to have a chance of not being owned and operated by a company for your entire life for just enough pay to put food on the table, make your car payment, and enjoy a casual weekend hobby, college is a necessity. Unfortunately in this contemporary, overpopulating, consumeristic society, the place for jobs has become quite saturated and with that, more competitive than ever. To have your name even looked at, you have to set yourself apart from others in some fashion. I myself as a college student have been experiencing some slight discontent with which I have chosen to do with my life. Do not get me wrong, my choice of going to college has been the best choice of my life, but at the same time, my feet have started to get cold and as I get closer and closer to the edge of graduation, my feet go deeper and deeper into the iced water. I am not the only one feeling the ever so cold and numbing sensation of frostbite upon my feet though. As fun as college can be, as many opportunities that it arises, as many cool friends and experiences you make along the way, there is also sacrifice and reality punch to the gut pain. I plan on capturing and sharing the "true" perspective on what it is like to be a college student in today's society. From everything from the pleasures, and the pains, I plan on bringing you a different and realistic view of the life in the day of a college student working ever so hard to make a dream come true in an American Society.
