Some Pre-Journalists Are More "Pre" Than Others

How come we never get letters like this? Here we have a man whose gut aches as he begins to comprehend things. Not just things like “I shouldn’t have eaten that entire plate of jalapeno poppers,” but actual deep truths about society, dude. It’s riveting. And, for the most part, unintentionally hilarious:

Each class has something to offer me as I begin to take part in the sculpting of not only my future, but the future of every generation to come. With that I find that I am directing my studies more towards the good of humanity than personal success as defined in our current materialistic media. I had hope that others who have graduated from colleges all over the United States have discovered this same attempt at generosity, at directing individual efforts towards the community, city and nation as a whole.

Oh, the humanity. Altogether now: shut up, Nicholas Wilbur. And if a sophomore pre-journalism student thinks he’s “directing his studies towards the good of humanity”, I fear he has much to learn about the great profession of journalism.
