• TOPIC: CALLING ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS AND GRADS

  
  

  Ok…so, i’m working day and night to figure out the logistics of my book.  I just got free computer and internet access at my hostel, which also has a pool, jacuzzi, and now a pizza maker, so my last 3 weeks in Cape Town, South Africa, should be good ones.

  
  

  And I realized, the only reason that my ideas for improving college are so far-fetched, is that it’s all coming from my mouth.  I know that just about the majority agrees with what i’m saying, i can see the frustration of every student blog on Xanga. 

  
  

  The issue is getting all those voices into a format that will make professors cringe, will make administrators take pause, and will make the nation take notice.  Just think, if it weren’t for those photos of Iraqis being abused by American soldiers, people might still have nothing to really criticize about our country.  Now…that publicity might change everything.

  
  

  This idea i have might change everything.  By producing a book full of the writings and feelings of students, and getting it out there so it’s in every college bookstore, in dorms, cafeterias, all over campus, that’s how we do this.

  
  

  That’s how we return college education to the students.  There’s certainly enough frustrated students, who are literally wasting their time and effort for the sake of grades and degrees that will have no bearing on the rest of their lives.  Now, it’s just a matter of getting the voices together.
