I miss it but I don't miss it
I donât miss the research papers. I donât miss the midterms. I donât miss final exams. I do miss sitting in a classroom--learning and absorbing. I miss getting my pencil box and lunchable ready for the first day of school.
I donât miss the stress of finding a parking spot. I donât miss running to class in order to get a good seat, or a seat at all, in a over capacity lecture hall. I miss speaking Italian. But I donât miss trying to write a paper in Italian.
But the only stress I miss is the school stress. The one where all I had to do was try to add the class, make your schedule look all pretty, avoid 8a classes, print the paper 10 minutes before class, order coffee to stay awake in class, make it to class on time, and on the right day. Lol
Now thereâs a career path I have to formulate and thereâs no catalog or counselor to guide you through that.
