My Satire

Every fall thousands and thousands of young adults head off to college to gain the skills they will need later in life. How do these young adults gain these skills? By copying peoples' answers, stealing tests, and all this texting in we do in high school i guess that just helps us read and spell, but then again does it is because the saying "i don't know" is now spelled "IDK". This is definitely how their parents want their hard-earned money to be spent. Why do we go to college anyway? It's not like we actually learn anything. We go so that one-day when we get interviewed for a job we sound like we actually know what we are talking about. But those four years and thousands of dollars, have they actually taught us anything. No, not really. Sure you can probably write a decent paper, but did you really learn what you needed to so you can succeed in life. College is a time to be adventurous and explore. So who has time to actually do their homework and study for exams? No one. We want to have the full college experience, including the parties, drunken nights, and the romances. We don't have our parents or our teachers around to tell us what to do and when to do it. So why should we study, when we can wait until the last minute and get the answers from someone who already did the work.i guess we just need college for are basic skills, but without school and education we wouldn't know how to read or spell, are parents wouldn't, are teachers, friends, or anyone in the world for that matter. it would be an antisocial world what would we do without texting? would the world end? would mankind end? would the world freeze over? well pay attention and find

    What is College for? Nowadays, many people would argue that going to college is not worth investing in and spending your time on unless you want to get a well-paid job afterward. Parents are willing to ensure a good position for their child after four years of dedication and hard work. Although I agree that education is getting more expensive every year, and for some folks it might be a difficult decision to make, I cannot accept the claim that college is solely for getting an employment.…

    Today, many students like myself all over the America have walked down the hectic aisles of high school and have sat in some of the largest lecture halls in college. As kids, we were somewhat taught that going to school and getting an education would be the key to our success and thought that if we didn’t fulfill these expectations, we would end up homeless and live a terrible life. For so many years during my educational career this was the mentality that I believed in. Although this may be over exaggerated, I believe that this may hold some truth to the many college students all over the world. It is almost like we volunteer to go into debt and deal with all the stress that a college education brings us because we feel like it will get us…

    There are many reasons why people go to college. College plays a role a student’s life, one of these roles are to help get students a better job that pays them a lot but that isn’t the only reason. According to Melisa McCreery “Higher education provides a number of benefits; most notably to the nation’s economic stability and job creation, civic engagement, and pulling students from low socioeconomic situation and landing them securely in middle class America.” In other words college is to help better a student’s life as well as to help them be able to contribute to society positively. College also provides many classes that can help students achieve their full potential when they are out in the world as well and making you better understand the world. According to Robert Harris these classes are liberal arts classes. Although you might argue that you don’t need these classes for many majors by them self but Harris explains to you the benefits that taking a…

    Society tends to believe that attending to college is something that everyone should do in order to live a successful and prosperous life. After doing research about the benefits of college, read different perspectives and opinions of different authors my view about college has changed. A lot of kids think that in order to get accepted into college you need to have perfect test scores and an exceptional gpa but that’s not true. Angel B. Perez in the article, Want to Get Into College? Learn to Fail, asserts that college admission officers want to get to know the student applying outside of his/her academic history. That means that if you are eager to learn you can get into college and by attending to college you are going to expand your mind, gain more knowledge and be a successful person.…

    When an average high schooler walks into senior year, the students are quickly bombarded by school counselors discussing which four year college they should apply too. At my high school, it was never second guessed whether the student would be attending college but was assumed. Most people have misconceptions that if they do not get a degree, they will unable to obtain a job and have an overall unsuccessful life. In Charles Murray’s, “Are Too Many People Going to College” and Freeman Hrabowski’s “College Prepares People for Life”, the two author both discuss the education system we have in place, however, Charles Murray provides a more convincing argument that college, contrary to popular belief, is just not for everyone.…

    Although sociology professors Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa point out “36% of college graduates showed no improvement in critical thinking, complex reasoning, or writing after four years of college” (Practical Argument 38), this doesn’t mean college is a waste of time. Not everyone who attends college takes it seriously. There are the slackers, and there are the people who realize they’re paying for an education. That 36% might still be trapped with their high school mindset: goofing around, skipping class, partying, and not completing assignments to the best of their ability. Going to college isn’t a 100% guarantee for a superior education or job, but instead it’s an extremely vital opportunity, and if not spent properly, one can’t reap its benefits. It’s the way at which the opportunity is tackled that will land a student in or out of the 36% group. Going to class, budgeting time for fun and work, and pushing oneself are qualities of a successful…

    Everyone in America knows that college is where you want to be. At a very young and impressionable age, the children in our schools are asked what college they want to go to. As this idea that a higher education is something they’ll inevitably have, the children go on to believe they need it to have a better life. However, is that really true? College, in particular, is a very strange and corrupt system. Many problems reside on the modern college campus, so many that we wonder if going to college was ever the better option. The truth is, it’s not. Going to college is not worth all its burdening, and often crippling, costs.…

    College is a very difficult decision in many people's lives around the world. The stories of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs show that sometimes college would not be the best idea for some people. Even my father, who dropped out of college, is very successful and supports his family wealthily, while not having to do as much work as most people. However, these successful people went through difficult times and failed much in life, before becoming who they are now. While many people believe college is not worth it, it really is, because college is a pathway for many people into a great career, while also allowing graduates the gain of knowledge from the experience.…

    Junk foods such as potato chips, carbonated drinks , and candy are a popular snack item choice by children and young adults alike. Containing high fat, sugar, and calories , junk foods are highly addictive and can cause many health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity, but on top of all of that Americans are the top consumers of this junk food. My proposition to end this problem is to inject lethal poison in all Junk foods such as candy, chips , and cola. But not only would we poison Junk foods, we would also poison so called “Heather alternatives” which claim to be a healthy junk food substitutes hidden as “sport drinks” and “flavored baked multi grain crackers” with a even more lethal chemical. Thus weeding out not only the addicted junk food eaters but the dumber ones who fall for that kind of trap creating a more intellectual America. But that is a different subject.…

    In today’s society the media sets the social norms and expectations that communities follows. People are constantly changing the way they look to fit these social standards and attempt to develop a resemblance to the perfect models and stars they see on television. They compulsively buy designer clothing as well as the latest and greatest technology in a desperate attempt to conform to the social norms. But how do you acquire essentials that cannot be bought? By the media’s standards, both men and women alike are expected to be thin, physically fit, and most importantly, tall. Unfortunately, height cannot be bought with a Gucci symbol on the side for $399.99. It is a physical feature that a person is born with and cannot change. As a result, those who lack this feature lose their significance in the community because they do not meet the media’s essential element. Short people are thought to be stupid, incompetent, and selfish. Well, I am here to tell you that these accusations are completely absurd and pure discrimination. It is not short people that have a lack of innovative thinking and general intelligence that is reserved for tall people. Despite their giant size, tall people have a brain the size of a pea. Their noses are so high in the air, literally, that they simply cannot see beyond it to the advantages short people have.…
