This week was the week where I, as well as many of you, went back to school for the semester or year. Now unlike the rest of the semesters where i dreaded the first day where the instructor would read over the syllabus for the entire two hour class, I looked forward to it. I had a good summer, had a positive meet-up with fellow bronies and made some memories that will stay with me forever.

Getting back to my complaint, I sat through the lectures (falling asleep through one) and soaked up the knowledge the instructors spat out. Everything was going great until they told the class of required textbooks. Now, i know i had to get these textbooks beforehand. Its an inevitability in college. What ticks me off is the price tag.

When we were all in elementary school and when the teacher gave out the texts she sent us home with papers saying, If we damaged the books or defaced them we would have to pay a $50 dollar fee( although, for some of you it may be more or less.).

Now that I am a college guy, i have spend an average of $60 per book. The most expensive book i bought was a communications book which was about $98. Now that doesn't sound so bad, right? Well let me ask you: how much did you spend on that last Harry Potter Book? Yeah thats what i thought.

The book is about 200 pages compared to Harry Potter's 1000 pages. Whats more is I'm only going to use this textbook for 3 months. I could just sell the book back at half the price but theres still that other half that the school gets.

Thus bringing me to my issue. The colleges(community) charge you an obscene amount of money for things you could easily research on your own. I know some people's brains don't work that way, but for a majority they do.

School systems dont cater to everyone. Only to a general population. They rarely have programs or teachers that cater to those creative thinkers. To those critical thinkers that like to break everything down.

Also, i have found that colleges only cater to those with money. If you have the money they will bend over backwards for you. If you are middle class or struggling they could care less about you. All of my friends agree, you got money but not the will to learn or achieve goals you'll do fine in College.

You got the will and the goals but no money, you will struggle.

Just the other day my fellow Twilight Sparkles brony told me that he shares a dorm with spoiled rich kids who do nothing but binge drink and smoke marijuana. All illegally. He's middle class and even though its the second week for him, hes already suffering from their actions as well as financially.

In short, the system only caters to the rich and leaves the poor behind, even though the poor could be future doctors or physicists.
