<p>Reflecting on plebe year as a youngster…I’d have to say, for me, the hardest part was having a “threat of the day” every day. Every day you had to accomplish something…chem quiz, calc test, pro quiz, PRT, come arounds, chow calls, write a paper, SOMEthing every day that required some preparation. Basically what this meant was that there was no break on a daily basis…aka “the grind.” And it’s this way for months and months, and really, it doesn’t stop after plebe year; you still see it as a youngster. </p>
<p>Another thing: Plebe year can be annoying, but that’s the way it’s designed to be, so you can put up with it because that’s “the system.” I got a little disillusioned when I discovered the fact that the entire time here is annoying, to a certain degree. Especially this year. So many formations and “changes for the sake of change,” as a lot of us see it. Yes, I concur with somebody who said it above, it’s frustrating being treated like a middle schooler every day. Plebes are treated like elementary schoolers.</p>
