Reading Response: Article Four "Dave Barry on College"

I was very relieved to see the subjects that Dave Barry encouraged his readers not to major in were not subjects I was interested in anyway. I plan to study psychology. His view on the major of psychology was very funny, but seemed true. Psychologist always want to use a rat to compare to human abilities. Every time the rat wins. Put any animal against a human and I bet the rat will win.

I am not going to lie: people who take like a philosophist do seem to be on drugs and on a whole other planet. I tend to pretend to understand and walk away. There is no need to always quote someone and not break it down to those who do not understand a word you are saying. Why try to educate someone if you are not willing to elaborate what it is they are supposed to understand?

I am going to college next year, but like Dave Barry said, all but very few of my hours spent in class will be usless and forgotten. I guess I will take as many psychology classes as the school offers just to learn new things that technically cannot be proven. Psychology interest me and I should be very facinated by what my classmates will try to prove.
