Reading Response #7: Dave Barry on College

Overall, I found this article very humerus and it kept my interest. He made a lot of good points that I was able to relate to and think about, while keeping it to where I could comprehend what he was trying to say. I liked the first two points that he made about the amount of time you will actually spend learning things you'll need to know later in life. It makes me very eager for college and also makes me curious as to how it will work when I get there. I also liked the fact that he described the differences between the subjects, because it made for a very interesting read.
When he said, "Your professor, who is sick to death of reading papers and never liked Moby-Dick anyway, will think you are enormously creative. If you can regularly come up with lunatic interpretations of simple stories, you should major in English," I thought this was very clever and humerus. You think that your teacher will always read every bit of your writing, but sometimes they just make it seem that way. It makes you wonder if what you put so much effort into, is really getting noticed as much as you had hoped it would when you wrote it. He makes a lot of good points in this article and I felt like it fulfilled it's purpose, as well as keeping my attention as to what he was putting across. 

This picture reminded me of what any student would feel during college, or even sometimes in high school. There is so much on our plates that we can't always seem to take it all in. We are faced with many different situations, and sometimes it gets to take a toll on you along with your school work. College will be a whole different scene and I feel like this picture helped do it some justice.
