I've joined the bandwagon

I am going to be blogging from now until I die. Okay, not seriously but I'm setting this up so it will be easy for friends and family to keep up to date with my life while in the peace corps and just in general. It's kind of bizarre that my life which has been pretty much the status quo- graduating high school; going to college directly after; finishing in 4 years.... blah blah blah. It's been pretty a pretty amazing trip thus far but my actions have been status quo. My life hasn't been but my actions have been. And after all this monotony, I'm finally going to be doing something worthwhile. Don't get me wrong-I wouldn't have changed my life for the past 4 years and I don't regret a single day but college is a stupid thing we have to do in order for people to take us seriously. Most people I know that are worth something either a.) didn't go to college b.) went but only to get that piece of paper that is supposed to signify that we're grown up now. College doesn't make you more intelligent. I love learning but I have a hard time doing it enclosed by 4 walls. It's even harder when the professors have not lived a life that makes them any credited to teach me things. Books amaze me, I read all the time but to learn things solely from a book is a joke. Going into the peace corps is both an amazing adventure and an amazing oppurtunity. I am finally going to be helping people and even if I don't change the world, I am going to be making some small difference in at least one life and that will make it worth it. I'm super excited that I'll be traveling to places I haven't been before. Okay I'm done. I have to go to class now. Thanks for reading my rambles. I fear this blog post will be nothing but! And don't forget we have the possibility to be happy and to be sad. Choose the right path.
