It Makes Me Wonder

I'm not really sure at this point what was supposed to be our life preparation. No one ever took me aside and explained this whole adult thing to me. It's as if life is impossible to begin until you're tettering on your 30th birthday. I guess the idea is supposed to be that college will prepare you not only for the real world but life as well. I personally believe that college serves to keep us in a state of childhood for a few more years. Sure we all learn of bunch of stuff and potentially that stuff will serve us after we graduate when we get jobs. Though I would like to point out that I have yet to have an interview where someone has asked me to explain the difference between Weberian and Marxist sociological theories. I can do it and I've been waiting.

It just really seems that once you graduate college you step through the looking glass. You are Alice and you are in Wonderland and you're down the rabbit hole. We all just sort of float through time grabbing at straws of adulthood and attempting to be responsible and attempting to be grown up. We are all just falling looking around and wondering when exactly will this rabbit hole end. I think we spend the majority of our twenties waiting to hit our asses on the ground. Instead we float, we fall and try to make sense of everything that is going on around us. All the time wondering how did this happen? And how did I get here? I know if took me a good two years after graduating to stop feeling as if I had just started high school. Even now more than half way through my twenties I'm just now starting to feel like an adult. I still haven't hit the bottom of the rabbit hole but at least I look around and see that everyone else is falling too.
