Rather Unique (Throw Back entry)

This was an entry from a while ago that never made it


I'm Rather Unique

But attending hampshire I'm feeling less and less, to know is not enough is the motto; but it’s seemingly not the practice at least that’s how it seems to me. When I wake up and I don't give a damn about the day or the work, I'm the one that has to deal. The division one requirements are a joke, I'm going to lay it down flat, I despise the process and it's probably the number one reason the retention rates are so low. Nothing like having to jump through hoops to get a person thinking about what the hell one is doing with their time and money


Rather Unique

I despise having to explain myself and the way I think to folks who just don't get it; listen the way you've been teaching isn't the way I've been learning there is no disconnect. I'm to specifically specific to walk a path not my own; that's just the way it is, nothing personal.

Rather uniquely I exist

When I think of myself and how I fit in at Hampshire,
I always come to the same conclusion; I manage to both fit in and remain an outsider simultaneously. Is it a space unique to myself? I don’t think so, but I am unique to the space.

When I think about how I learn, I think about wild animals being free to do their thing. I guess that's a funny way to think about it, but animals are at their best when we let them do what nature made them to do, and I think I am the same way. When wild animals are domesticated some of them accept it quickly as a way of life; But then there are others who resent their captivity and are never fully domesticated: I have felt like this everyday I have woken up on this campus. I am sure the animals that are born in captivity don't miss the outside, but every once in a while their genetics will make them remember what they their minds have forgotten. A lion will always be a lion no matter where that lion happens to be, and I feel the same way here.
