Finals week in many college have arrived and life is feeling extra stressful for students around the national. Personally, I reached a point of confusion with all the complaining from many of these students. I will not deny that many of my classes are difficult and challenging. That is what I expect from them. Many students are missing the point of eduction, in my opinion. College is not about the finals we take. It's about the gift of knowledge. There are many people around the world who lack this gift. Many college student take for granted our education system. And I as a student am tired of it.
Let stop complaining about how hard classes are and communicate with our professors what we don't understand. Open your books, read the words on the pages, and learn something new. Stop saying, "I am dropping out" every day six times a day. College is a place for people who want a degree to help better the field they are going into. If you don't understand why something applies your degree, ask question. Don't be the person that shames the education system when you aren't doing anything to learn it yourself. Our professors do not deserve to sit in a class room with students who don't care. You are paying for an education, so you might as well take something from it.
College is a challenge - so be challenged. Learn new things, and be happy about. This generation needs to learn that a degree isn't handed to them, it must be earned. You are not entitled to anything, respect the fact that our educators put in work each day to allow us to learn something new. If you aren't putting in the work you aren't only letting them down, but yourself.
The Lord has blessed us to know things, and given us the ability to learn new things. If we are just sitting in a classroom complaining about why we don't understand its completely worthless. So, stop complaining, and be grateful that you wake up each morning at a university to learn. Use your knowledge to honor God and grow as a person. Education is far more than a silly final. It's about using a gift to bring glory to Savior who has allowed us to know. The degree you are gaining is training on how to love people the way Christ has love us.
