Penn State Abington
This past weekend I went to the main campus of the Pennsylvania State University. Currently, I attend the Abington campus of the Pennsylvania State University. The two campuses could not be more distant from each other, figuratively and literally. Like what the poop, Abington? I walk around campus and I feel like everybody is watching me and wondering what I am doing. Why do you people care? We are here to get an education and a darn rootin' tootin' good one too, and you are more interested in what Billy said about Margaret. I feel like I am in high school all over again. This stinks hard! Every body seems like they are out to judge each other. We need to be able to go to school and learn and not have to deal with this bologna.
I was sitting in the athletic building one day in May of 2011. I was just talking to a few of my friends and out of no where, this crazy girl comes to one of the girls sitting across from me and just starts going off. I was watching a middle school cat fight in a college athletic building. This is the kind of stuff I am talking about. I think those kind of things should not be done in public. Why do you need to show off to the world that you have a problem with somebody? Grow up and deal with it like an adult. This is just one example of the kind of immaturity that is plaguing Penn State Abington.
During my stay at Penn State Main Campus, I was pleasantly surprised at how many people were there that couldn't care less about what I did. I had my group of friends and we were one of thousands of circles of friends at Penn State. Out of 50,000 students, our group of 10+ was a drop in the bucket and I like that. The campus is huge and I don't have to hear about other peoples problems, I can focus on my own problems. Don't get me wrong, I will help anybody out that asks me, but no one displayed their immaturity for all to see. It was such a deep breath of fresh air. So great, in fact, that I am greatly reconsidering my decision to stay in Abington for four years. I really want to go over there.
There is so much more to do there and so much more freedom. Freedom to exercise my self-control. That is where I need to grow the most as a human being and in order to grow in that way, I need to test myself. I watched one of my friends mature so quickly because of the freedom he had in just three months of college at Penn State Main so far. He was the most immature douche bag ever and he got really annoying really quickly. But hanging out with him this past weekend, I noticed a change in him. Nothing too fancy, just maturity. He is a likable guy now and his friends are likable. The realized that they need to grow up in order to succeed in college and in life. Abington is missing this. There is no motivation to succeed, no desire to grow up, no need to lead a noble life because barely making the cut is good enough in too many people's eyes here at Abington.
I thought Abington to be a good fit for me. It is relatively close to home, it is cheaper, and I can still see my girlfriend and stay connected in my local church. But Abington is getting on my nerves. The advisers are not helpful and not what I would hope for in a mentor and definitely not what I am paying for. I want out of here, and I want that to happen real quick.
