the "real" world

you know, college is supposed to set you up for the real world, the grown up world, the corporate world. but so far, my college experience has been one incompetent facility after another!! they can't even give their students the information they need to know to fulfill deadlines! they don't provide a way of communication between a student and their counselor! everything is mainstream: use the internet, and we can answer these questions--follows a list. BUT MY QUESTIONS AREN'T BEING ANSWERED! if the real world has the same level of incompetence, then perhaps i'm better off how i am right now.

oh, but i despise those people who persist in rebelling against the "system", like society is really one huge, ironic machiavellian concept out there to make its slaves miserable; like government can't be trusted because its workers are conspiring to see their own pockets filled; like the only way to be yourself is to rebel. that is not true. the only reason people "valiantly" rebel against the system is because they don't know what they are going to do with their lives, they don't know who they want to be, and their too damn lazy to find out for themselves! so they blame their confusion on a system of choice and rebel against it. well, there are no systems out there except the ones you choose to believe in. i don't smoke, so the whole idea of the tobacco company being some kind of corporate cutthroat doesn't mean anything to me. i don't pay attention to cigarette ads. if some of my family or friends decide to smoke, fine. i'll tell them its deathly, but its their choice. i'm not about to crusade against the tobacco company. there are plenty of women disappearing and being found dead in juarez every day. now that is a system i can protest against. but those people who rebel against the administration of a high school, who rebel against their parents or their family simply because they say things they don't like to hear, those who rebel against people who haven't done anything to them but disagree, that is stupid. even those who rebel against the american government, finding truth in conspiracy theories, thinking that the government is corrupt. it might be corrupt, in fact, it most likely is in some aspects, but i don't care. america has given me more than what my original country gave my family. it is my home and my refuge. those who harp on about the crime rate, about pollution, you don't know what its like outside of america. believe me, you don't know what its like. count your blessings before your misfortunes. so those of you who think you're somebody heroic because your valiantly rebelling against whatever the hell it is you people find to rebel against, WAKE UP! soon you will know that there is no future for you if you don't stop being lazy.
