***Insight*** What I Learned from College this year:


Knowledge is priceless, but tuition is still evil and will always be too high so long as it exists.

"Brilliance" is one part thought, two parts speaking up, and a dash of stubbornness.

Action is the difference between being successful and being forgettable.

Race does and does not exist.

There is a world of opportunity that lays untapped by most people daily; be one of the smart ones who reaps the rewards of the apathy of others.

Time is infinitely precious.

You earn your "A" everyday.

Break rules when they become oppressors.

Everyone is just as afraid to act as you are, a modicum of bravery will make you a leader.

Every dream is far closer within our grasp than we have been lead to believe.

Accolades and achievements shouldn't mean anything if you are as great as those rewards say you are.

Following your passions will lead you to happiness and greatness.

People are very impressionable; walk with confidence and they will clear your path.

"Is" is a powerful word, you cannot use it honestly until you have a perfect truth of the thing you're talking about- this means if you are prudent you will seldom use the word "is" (note the rest of my post).

There is a cosmos of knowledge.

"Universities" are often not what they are supposed to be; they are elitist, classist and impersonal.

Many of us don't have enough art in our lives.

You may not get what you expected, but no venture is ever wasted.

Stagnation is the enemy. It will kill you. Be busy, not bored.

We all have a staggering amount of self-delusions; shattering them is necessary to accessing the world in fullness.

Argument is the language of academia, master it.

Persuasion is the language of the commoner, master it or it will master you.

Take professors, not classes.

Largely, religion can be thought of as the anithesis of learning and truth-finding.

Everyone should read Emmanuel Kant.
