It seems to me like there is something intrinsically negative about being mediocre. It’s a fun word to say, it slides of the tongue like… I don’t know- but try saying it and you’ll see. mē'dē-ō'kər. Dictionary.com says it’s an adjective that means of “only ordinary or moderate quality; neither good nor bad; barely adequate,” or “rather poor or inferior.” Sounds like something of which I want no part. The Christian bible agrees. In Revelation 3:16, John writes “because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.” This passage is regarding the reader’s faith in Christ, a là “I don’t want half-ass faith! Either you believe I am the son of God and will follow me, or you don’t and won’t!” My mother would likely translate that as “Piss or get off the pot.”

So we don’t want schools pumping out students automatons, I don’t want to live my life bound by my anxiety, and I’ve decided to hurry up, graduate, and take responsibility for my life finally because I feel I’ve been mediocre for way too long. Let me out of this incubator called college life! I know I’ve created it to be the way it is, but the times they must be changing.
