It would not even be a matter of preparation, I really just crave college. Not the partying or the independence that comes without one's parents, but really just the learning. An environment in which people aren't as preoccupied with "finding themselves" as they are with knowing everything that they can. I am ready to leave high-school. I can't take the stupidity or the redundancy. I know that the world makes you do things that you have no passion for, but the students in the colleges to which I want to apply have a visceral passion for learning, and that is all I care about. I could be happy in a hole in the ground so long as I am getting a good education. I don't care about the nightlife or the penguins or the hamburgers, just tell me what your school offers in terms of education.
High school is about the penguins and the hamburgers, which is fine for some people. But the sociality and the tribulations of high-school have become so petty and insufferable; maybe it's not so much that I want to go to college rather that I would like to leave high-school but have too much personal pride to just loaf around and do nothing. I have a high affinity for Ramen noodles, to the point where they aren't an inferior good but rather a dining preference. They're good, like really good. I'm inventive, I can live without my parents. But I really don't know if my mom can live without me.
