College Freshmen are the more stupider.
First semester of my freshman year I thought I could juggle two jobs along with the last week of my college classes. I was in the final week before Christmas break December 1962. Our class counselor told me of a seasonal job at the Sears west coast catalogue warehouse. Interestingly enough it was in the warehouse for toys. It would start about 3:30 in the afternoon and end at about 9:00 PM and all-day Saturday. So they called me in.
Then a friend of mine told me of a temporary job at the Post Office which starts about 10:00PM and goes over night. I applied and was also called in.
So that last week of school I would get out of classes about 2:00 in the afternoon then ride with my dad at about 2:30 and he would drop me off at my Sears job on his way to work.
I must admit I missed some of my classes that last week of December school. Then I was scheduled to return back to school and for finals week just after the first of January.
Then so it went. As mentioned, I skipped some morning classes and slept for an hour or so, made some of my late morning classes, came home and rode with my dad to my Sears work. Then I rode along with a couple of girls I knew who were also working at Sears getting off at the same time as me and they dropped me off at the Post Office gate on their way home. Yes! Lots to juggle.
The bottom line I made good Christmas money and bought lots of presents for my family. But when all that was over I returned to class just in time for finals. To say the least I was not completely prepared for taking any tests.
Then as a result of this experience, I kept having reoccurring dreams of showing up for the last day of classes unprepared. Actually it was like a nightmare. Probably dreamed this awful scenario dozens of times. Yes, freshmen guys are most stupid. Is there medication or treatment for this?
