Texas Time


School's back, but this time I'm in college, which is probably the most fun I've had in school since kindergarten.
But I do think High School is an important part of growing up. It gets you ready to deal with all sort of situations and people. It sets you up for dissappointment and for achieving goals as well.
Plus, prom weekend is always a BLAST. My advice to people who haven't been to prom, don't go. Just skip out and go to the parties that following weekend. You will not regret it.
I got a scholarship to a community college recently, so, of course, I decided to go there and I think it was the best decision I could have made. Small class. Good teachers. Clean campus. Helpful people. And it's 30 minutes away from my house and 10 minutes away from a mall. People are more laid back. Well, it is Texas, so people are already laid back, but I digress.
My advice to you would be to follow your dreams. I know it sounds Disney, but its the best decision you will ever make. I'm going to college for Theater. Many people think this is REALLY DUMB, but it makes me happy as hell.
Its sad, really, when most of the people you went to high school with are going to college to pursue some kind of medical degree. I KNOW not that many people want to be nurses, doctors, specialists, but they have to because it makes good money. I could never do that. Does that make me dumb because I'm not choosing the "practical" or "acceptable" choice?
Well, ignorance is bliss.
I'll live my life being happy, doing what I love to do for a job and other people can come home everyday and hate their lives for making the "practical" decision.
Seems like a fair trade.
