revelation #3

i was at a party last night and it occurred to me...like it has before, but not like this,
i know what the point of college is...it is to learn to become what we want to be for the rest of our lives, but i had never really thought about it.
last night i saw two dynamics of the college student.
we were playing beer pong...some of us, the others actually follow the law of underage drinking and while we were playing one of the guys had his notes out to study.
it was weird, he was at a party, but he was studying and that is when the thought of, "we are here to become what we want to be," flooded my brain.
i looked at the pre-med majors, the pre-pharm major, the nursing major, the mechanical engineer major, the electrical engineer majors, the pre-dental major, the secondary-ed major and the family and consumer science major, and never in my life after college will i be in a room this diverse.
why this was a little bit of a Revelation was because of what we were doing.
we were playing beer pong. the simplest of games, but on tuesday we would be back in our classes learning how to become the specific profession that we have chosen.
deep down we are all still kids with the rest of our lives still in front of us, and we still find pleasure in winning a stupid game like beer pong, and who can get the ping pong ball the quickest when it falls to the ground, but we soon turn into adults when we are in the classroom learning organic chemistry, or how the brain of an 8 year old works.
