In Class Free Write

In my opinion, every class is stressful. They aren't fun or interesting. Pulling all nighters in the library doesnt help you learn. You remember information through short term memory for about a day and forget it all the next. To me, hands on activities is what teaches you. Instead of being in a biology class learning about cells and metamorphosis, i should be at a football practice helping a trainer fix injuries and lead rehabilitation workouts. What am i going to remember more in a week, information i crammed for about prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and the genetic makeup of viruses, or how to properly wrap an ankle and an open wound?

To me i feel the preparation in college in my perspective as a hopeful physical therapist is somewhat of a joke. I pay large sums of money to attend an out of state college, and when i graduate most of the information i had once larned will be forgotten. Like i said, they need to incorporate more hands on hours. Credits should be given for kids working as an intern in their respective career, as they are learning real information, techniques and "go abouts" persay in their respective departments.

To me the role of Chris Offet in the "Same River Twice" is more intellectually productive than a college student. He is traveling from city to city working job to job and learning information about the real world, while making money rather than losing it through tuition. Pointless information in a book is not forced, he chooses what to delve into, increasing his knowledge in specific subjects he personally likes.
