So I'm about to go to uni and they give all freshman a freshman mentor who's just a sophomore that helps us with basic shit like where do I get my books from, etc.
So we're shooting e-mails back and forth and through the course of our conversation I naturally reveal that I'm a Marxist and that I hold to anti-philosophy, he comes back with this.
I'm going to be straight with you from the get go. Most people will be full of "bullshit" but not me. I'll let you know how it is, about everything. If you talk to me, you can at the very least know that I tell you the truth.
By the way, I had xx [replaced obviously, this class from what I gather is basically, shit capitalism sucks, here's a bunch of liberal ways to cope, we get to meet a primmie who's lived in the wild for 30 years, fun] class. It was definitely interesting. It'll change the way you look at things. But no matter what classes you take in college, my best advice is this. Keep your views, understand and learn about new views, and adapt to them as you see fit. Do NOT drastically change your whole perspective just because of one class. I've seen too many people do that, and it just makes them look weak. So keep your views, and know what you stand for.
At times we will probably disagree with one another. Actually, we will most definitely disagree with one another. I can already tell. haha. Just letting you know. But, if you maintain your views and perspective, while having an open mind towards others. At the same time don't try to change others, and then we will do just fine.
I respect people with whom I can know where they stand on certain issues. EVEN if I don't agree with you, if I know where you stand, then I WILL respect you. I respect everyone, except people who are flip-floppy or like to blur the lines. I hope that by the time we've developed more of a mutual relationship, that you'll be able to immediately know where I stand on certain issues. I see the world in black and white. There is no gray for me. [WAT]
I understand you're an intellectual guy, and that's why I'm telling you all of this now. Most people wouldn't really understand or just try to shrug it off. But I can tell you're different. [wat] Just from the way that you present yourself in your choice of words and writing. So understand, I'm not being harsh or mean. I'm being REAL. And that's the best kind of thing you could hope for when arriving into college.
So without much further delay, college is going to be a great experience man. I'll do my best to not lead you astray. If you ever have questions or problems just let me know. I'll do my best to answer them. Get excited man, this year is going to be a different from anything you've ever experienced before.
That's probably the most awkward thing anyone has ever told me, I'm considering ignoring it and asking him what kind of music he likes >_>
