Get it together

So, we've all heard that college is for finding yourself and figuring out what you want to do, but the minute you step into classes, everyone wants to know your life plan. They expect you to have it all together and know where you're going--even though you've never had a real job and no real life experiences. Instead of having four years to figure out your life, you have the five seconds it takes to comprehend what your professor is asking. On tonight's Gossip Girl, Serena tells Lily she is post-poning college to "discover" herself. Lily tells her to look around: no one really knows themselves. So, why does everyone assume that because you are in college and have a major, you have it all together. I don't. I know quite a few people who don't. Anyone who says they have everything together are liars. No matter how many plans you make, nothing ever turns out the way you expect it to. Robert Burns understood that. Why can't professors?
