Noteworthy and Notable.

I find myself perched in the educational echelon of late nights and obsessive facebook updates with the constant tick of keyboards sounding: the library. Situationally located at the top of campus, this artistic literary domain is conveniently available to studious students for 16 hours a day. All alliterations aside, cubicle number 65 seems to be giving me a stint of grief. The green canvas of the side boards can arbitrarily conceal glances from my neighbors, yet even my Starbucks cup is violating my personal legroom.

Plateau's are a good place for some to reside, and amusingly enough, is what many of individuals settle for. My plateau, however enjoyable, is situated somewhere between squeaking by in the monotonous routine of schooling and really making that indent in the couch permanent. Although my perceptions have been slanted against the educational system, this complacency has led me to acquire several skills I would otherwise be without.

My independent nature and lack of desire for inclusive cramming sessions has led me down a steep and narrow path. This path, though some might idealize as dangerous and obtuse, continues to strengthen my ability to, for a lack of better words, get 'er done. This act obliges myself to the sometimes dreadful task of paying attention in lectures - even the ones covering corpselike concepts. When I am without an attention span for more than 2 minutes at a time however, I find that the skill of being able to bullshit is highly overlooked and severely underrated. Procrastination as well as the ever useful risky behavior of winging a test should be praised when successful. And, if the result of this attempt at lethargy comes out conclusively negative and somehow leads one to a falling out, think of our current president, Barack Obama.

"If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost."

We can just rely on the government to solve our problems. And learning from the best, can find benefit in universitality with equality and stagnicity.

Whoever says that college students are not learning is a blatantly naive remark. Throughout my short collegiate experience, I will openly flaunt and acknowledge the fact that I am amazed at the potentiality that is before me. As a Communication major, I could even go as far as to rhetorically twist my skills to even further enhance my oh so extensive resume. Ability to work well under pressure; ability to get the job done; high talent at prioritizing. I think I'm ready to face the real world now, CSULB.
