Favorite Post Q4

My favorite post from quarter three is my post entitled "Gross
National Happiness."

I think that this post did a successful job of combining succinct descriptions of unknown terms with links to more elaborate descriptions. I also think that I did a good job of mixing my own theories with those of the hosts of "Stuff You Should Know."

The Purpose of College

As I start my college search, one of my major factors is the scholarly mix of education that I will receive at a certain institution.  Essentially, I want a liberal arts education.

I was thinking about how lucky I really am.  Of course I realize that college is expensive, but I do not have as much pressure to succeed and earn money after college as many other college students.  I was talking with kids at Kenwood Academy.  I heard of the things that they were studying and they were all very specified (buisness or premed). 

I realized just how lucky I am to get to en joy my undergraduate education and major in whatever my heart desires.   I really have to remind myself, from time to time, that I won't have to worry about graduate school (except for keeping my grades up).  What are you thinking about studying?

coming from a third generation of college grads, I feel like college is simply the next step in my life.  I don't feel any pressure, and I have to feel lucky for that.
