Average College Student

Hello, welcome to my blog! I decided to start this blog simply because I felt a need to talk but had no to necessarily talk to and had recently been listening to "Like a Star" by Corinne Bailey Rae and it had me feeling quite nostalgic. Anyways, in the mean time I have began listening to Kanye West's Blame Game, which hasn't helped.
What I wanted to talk about was college or education in general and its structure around it. Now I'm not going to talk about reform and where it's going but rather how it actually makes the student feel, nobody really talks about that. Nor will I be talking about student loan debt, just about the actual concept of school.
I am a freshman in college who lives at home. I go to a private school in which I don't necessarily love or hate. School ,for a large part of my life, has been that laundry that's been piling up in your room that you do but would rather have watched T.V instead. My earliest memory of school was when I was in second grade my father picked me up and I simply said, "I hate school." My father the immigrant who valued school and education replied,"You have to like it! Or else you'll get nowhere."
The reason I hated school so much was at a young age I learned school, just like most things in real life is a hierarchal system. To put this in terms, that day in my second grade class I had raised my hand to answer a question which my teacher said it was incorrect, until the blonde girl in the corner said the same thing but somehow her answer was right. This is how it went until High school and even now.  But I don't want to talk about that either. I want to talk how there is an immense amount of pressure everyone feels through school and growing up.
I worked very hard in high school to get into a good school, then I get to the new school realizing that , "How am I going to succeed if there are a million other people like me? and some are much better than me." It's frustrating and scary.
I want this blog not to solely be about me but I want you guys to submit me stories where you felt happy,sad, frustrated about and I would love to put my input on them.
Love,
Average Being
