Similarities United

Often I find that people tend to over exaggerate about leaving home and coming to a new place with new people. Imagine first-year as a gas chamber, and the newcomers as the Jews that were gassed in the holocaust. The main objective is to survive and, although I found no blog that related to our blog character I felt that metaphors could be used to explain the connection between this blog and that created by holocaust survivors the and first-year students. In fact, I would like people to notice the deliberate over exaggeration as I depict the horrors one experiences in varsity, especially as a first-year student who is trying to adapt in a new environment. Of course, one cannot compare the hardships Hitler put the Jews through but I think I speak for most students when I say that dictators come in various shapes and sizes.

Just when we believe that we have grasped the freedom that we are entitled in varsity, there waddles a warden sitting you down and telling you that you consume too much alcohol. Just when will we escape? It makes question whether the freedom that people talk about is a reality or is waiting for someone to make it all come true. Who will become our Schindler? The fact remains that no matter how hard we try,we ought to appease a higher power in life. Although Hitler was a short brunette, he managed to brainwash a whole nation in the proposition of an Aryan(blonde and blue-eyed) race. This not only shows the stupidity portrayed by Germans but also that "struggle is the father of all things. It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle. If you do not fight, life will never be won."(Adolf Hitler) Ironic,isn't it?that a man with fewer brain cells than my nephew could speak such powerful words, words that affected an army of Aryans...words that echo survival.
