Blog 11: My case

My case addresses the mysteries of the thoughts and motivation of college students. It questions whether or not college is a positive transformation from childhood to adulthood. College can be seen as a liminal period between childhood, and adulthood where expectations of those in college can fall into both those of children and adults. However, some argue that college is simply buying more time to be a child, except without all the rules that are present prior to the college years. Without many rules and laws to follow, this allows college students to define their own autonomy and explore different cultures and experiences. In an ideal society, students would want to go to school and focus soley on thier studies. However, as I am doing this blog in the computer lab I can see many cell phones sitting on top of notebooks, and many screens that display facebook rather than a paper. Could many of my fellow classmates only be attending college because it is expected in society to finish college to be seen as an adult. Therefore college can be seen as an aid or inhibit one from becoming an adult.
