I admit that I didnt always feel this way, but now that I am a senior, I am a little bored with the run of the mill college academic life. I feel as though I have learned all one can learn from a text book. It is important that a students has regular course, but once a students has discovered thier calling, other things should be available. I know what it is that is my passion, and simply reading about it in text books make me feel as though I could never enter the dialogue myself. Honestly, I am quite bored. I want to do something that actually has real effects. I want to work with a professor doing research on human rights issues, rather then only reading about the issues. Universities should move their focus away from preparing students for Jobs and starting encouring them to think.
