Reading Response #4: Dave Berry on College

For the past couple of months I have been deciding on what I should be doing for the rest of my life. As most seniors have experienced, it's pretty tough. Making  fun of things or having people do it for you makes you a little more at ease, but not too much.

One of the colleges in Springfield, MO.

 Being in a Sociology class, Dave Barry really does describe it clear. Describing everything in really complicated words for simple tasks sums up a part of sociology. Just putting words in different formats can make you either look smarter or the opposite.

I have never been a fan of science, but I agree 100% on the fact of preciseness. Every little move of yours, every little drop of the chemical can end up in something not good.

But thankfully we have loose subjects like English. Exercising the creative part of the brain, a person can think and use their imagination.


Sleeping in class. This is probably why we spend 1,998 hours of our lives in college not learning anything.

"After you've been in college for a year or so, you're supposed
 to choose a major, which is the subject you intend to memorize 
and forget the most things about."


Life is super tough when it comes down to what you want to major in. Luckily for us, he summarized about 6 subjects that were short, sweet and to the point. Everywhere that we go we have some sort of pressure, and lucky for us (sarcasm) it is our life decision. In school we get questioned all the time on what we want to be or what college we're going to. I bet that we'll all be glad for this to be over but at the same time trying to enjoy our senior year. Dave Barry pretty much nailed it on his description of college which falls closely to the description of high school.

  1. Its cool that you could make a connection between what he said and your sociology class.
