• According to Carolyn Birds, writer of College is a Waste of Time and Money, Bird’s presents the idea that adolescents that recently finished their high school education automatically go to college “because it has become the thing to do or because college is a pleasant place to be” (Lines 5-7). Too many, the previous statement that Bird presents can be seen as valid; socialization has become a key component as to why many individuals go to college directly after finishing high school. From movies to personal experiences, people see that from high school the norm is to attend college. That while in college you will find yourself and it will become the best four years of your life.
