The Purpose of Experience


When asking someone what the purpose of going to college is they may respond in a variety of different ways. To me the purpose of going to college is of course to pursue the highest education possible in an attempt to stand out in an oversaturated job market. However, I also think college is an excellent tool that can help me find more out about myself and who I am on my own. College can also be great preparation for adult life where your responsibilities increase and your time management is essential. I think all of the previously mentioned “purposes” are all equally important and valid reasons for why college is important to any one individual. When focusing on a smaller topic like this class, I think my goals are easier to identify than when looking at college. In this class my goal is to apply myself to the fullest extent possible even if that means I fail miserably. I want to leave the classroom everyday and go to bed every night knowing that I gave it my entire effort and the outcome is reflective of my true abilities.

  The Versatility of Seafood Lobster mac and cheese is easily one of my favorite dishes to eat, no matter the occasion. I have always loved seafood and its versatility, there are so many different ways you can prepare and serve fish that are completely different. Eventually when I decided to try lobster infused in my mac and cheese it changed my life. Still every time I eat regular mac and cheese I struggle knowing it could be so much better with some additional seafood in the symphony. However this dish isn’t just my favorite for how it tastes, I also appreciate how it forced me to try new food combinations. All because of this one dish I have found many other combinations that I enjoy greatly. (Food Network Lobster Mac and Cheese 2009)

  It Was a Good Day The idea of a perfect day sparks a different image to each individual, but what is a perfect day to me? To start it off, I would like to wake up super early and head down to the beach with my friends and some surfboards. There we will cook breakfast in the back of a truck and then surf for about two and half hours. When we get back we will chill out, eat some food, and play video games. Then when we feel rested we will go skate and grab some dinner once it gets dark. From there I would like to go home to watch a movie or play some video games, to close out a perfect day.                                                                   (Luis MP A tribute to the beach 2023)
