Anti-college essay. I’ve lived on earth for a little less than two decades, but despite my floating through life at a fairly leisurely pace, two monumentals things have, or will, happen. My being born, and the moment I die. These are two monumental moments in any person's’ life, but that is not to say my life isn’t at all interesting outside of those two fundamental aspects of mortality.
