Four years as an undergrad flew by, changing majors 4-5 times, academic probation to desperate redemption. I probably shouldnt have gone to college right out of high school, but its written that way in the playbook. I had no clue what I was doing, other than getting away from home and trying to invent myself in a new state. By year 4, I'd have to say that Cultural Anthroplogy classes, Film Making classes, and a razor sharp English teacher helped me realize what I was there for. Not for grades, but for what I could and wanted to learn. Which was everything. The best is when your courses start to cross pollenate-what you read in one class connect and connect again. When they told me I had enough credits to graduate I felt like toast popping out of a toaster, only I wasnt even brown.
But it prepared me to continue learning. There's so much to dig into. Enjoy your Anthro.
I like this time of year- all the potential in new office supplies. I just bought my new academic calendar, the year starts in August.
