College Groupies
Okay I just read a college guidebook. I think the people who put these together have actually perfected the are of distilling all meaningful content out of them.
I want someone else to make this choice for me to take this burden over from me. I wonder if this is more because this choice needs to be made, but I don't want to be the one who's held responsible if its wrong.
What I'm exhibiting is schizophrenic internal corporate like "I'm not gonna make that decision"itis.
Every university at this point looks good -- its pathetic -- or maybe I've been choosy enough in my initial search that honestly they all will do.
There is the catholic dilemma though. Some of these schools are various orders of catholic schools. (Jesuit, Marinists, etc...) My interactions with catholics have tended to be us vs. them affairs where I'm with us and catholics are them.
I recognize here that I'm doing to "the catholics" exactly what I've been rallying against -- people should be judged as individuals and not as groups.
Okay this is going to quickly disintegrate into a liberal rant about treating people as individuals. So one last thought.. Its so easy to fall into judging people by the group they belong to is it fair to condemn those who accidentally fall into that behavior
