A Vision of Students Today

// October 17th, 2007 // work

18 percent of my teachers know my name. I complete 49% of my readings of which 26% are relevant to my life. I buy hundred dollar textbooks that I never open I will read 8 books this year, 2300 webpages and 1281 facebook profiles. I will write 42 pages for class and over 500 pages of email. I get 7 hours sleep each night. I spend 1,5 hours watching tv each night. I spend 3,5 hours a day online. I listen to music 2,5 hours a day. I spend 2 hours on my cellphone, spend 3 hours in class, 2 hours eating, I work 2 hours every day, 3 hours studying. I am a multi-tasker (I have to be). I will be $20,000 in debt after graduation. I’m one of the lucky ones. Over 1 billion people makes less than $1 a day. This laptop costs more than some people in the world make in a year. When I graduate I will probably have a job that doesn’t exist today…
