Okay...

Dear Whoevercomes Alongandreadsthis,

I've come along way since... just since. After transferring you realize the different attitudes each campus contains and even though you never hear me say it. I do miss Essex County College, however to stay in such a hole would only get me nowhere. Compared to Rutgers Newark though, sometimes I'd appriciate it if my fellow student, gracing the seat next to me, would kindly pay attention instead of play on bodog.com. Though, having the name of Rutgers attached to my degree would get me almost anywhere.

The attitude is different over here, back in Essex (after a certain date) everyone was attentive, everyone wanted to learn, and everyone took EVERY class in it's highest priority. (even when it's not focused on their major.) When you were put into a group, everyone contacted each other and did their work. Over here on the Rutgers end, no one seems to be interested in getting the project done ahead of time. It almost feels like I have to coerce them to do their work.

Work ethic is obviously something I took for granted while I at Essex. I can't emphasize how important it is, and even more so to be surrounded by students or peers with the same type of mindset.

Eh....
