Over the weekend, I had one the best, and the most memorable time in the last 2 years of my college journey. It probably just an ordinary weekend for most, but for someone like me, it is something I don’t experience often. I and 4 others, 2 of them I consider to be my very close friends here in the middle of Pennsylvania, went to HackPSU, a Hackathon sponsored by MLH at Penn State.

I have recently been admitted to Penn State for Computer Science major, and needless to say, I’m taking the offer.

For those of you that do know me, this might have come as a shock, since I have been so vehemently opposed to going to college back when I was in high school. Surely you remember my speech in Mrs. Palmer class about how if you truly want to learn, you can just read, research, do it yourself, and then take a test (in this case, AP tests) to prove your knowledge instead of wasting your life in honor classes. To me, I felt like college was a waste of time, was a waste of money, that I would rather spend my times self teaching myself rather than wasting 2 years of my life learning gen ed. I hated the idea of college, I hated the thought of being evaluated by my grade instead of my skill, my portfolio, and my passion.
