Day 13 - Is there anything that you imagined would happen in college, but now that you’re in college you realize that you were totally wrong?
I guess early ideas of what university is comes from TV (and a bit from my aunt, who is about 12-13 years older than I am but I don't think she said much. Maybe she was as grouchy as me when it comes to young kids wanting my attention.)
Anyways I thought all universities had fraternities and sororities. Turns out that my university does not but there is a fraternity that opened up recently. But the on campus houses are somewhat like a fraternity/sorority in a way. Hazing no but some form of initiation took place hosted by the senior members of the house.
I guess that I could say I thought all classes were held in a lecture theatre of some sort but those are only for large classes. Speaking of class sizes the higher the level I went up the number of people in a classroom shrank, unless it's one of those courses that crossed over 2 departments in which the class size is fairly large.
Also what was new to me is the older students. No I am not talking about graduate students but adults who seem to have children that are my age (if they have children). I haven't seen many but I've seen some mostly in the night classes and a couple during the daytime classes. Yet again you hear about people as old as 95 getting a degree.
Anyway you learn something new everyday.
