I love college. I really do. I love college a hell-of-a-lot more than grade school; people actually care about learning, most students aren't dicks, and I've learned so much more about the world here than in K-12 schools.
That said, I have a few issues.
One; the smoking. I don't know exactly why, but many college students, young and old alike, light up between classes. Anytime I'm passing through buildings, I feel like I'm suffocating under the weight of a lot of cigarette smoke. In RPG terms, you could say anytime I'm outside on my college campus, I become afflicted with poison status.
Two; the binge drinking. Now, this isn't a problem for me, since I'm alcohol abstinent. (Yeah, I am such a fag. I can never be arrested for DUI. Whoop-dee-fuckin'-doo.) Rather, it's my classmates who worry me. Almost everyone close to my age feels the need to get wasted. They view it as a rite of passage. Even people who have serious health problems try to get wasted. (true story.) To which I say, WTF?
Three; child worship. This is a subject first explored by comedian George Carlin in one of his books, and it's one that irritates me as well. Last semester, I was in a speech class. Almost every student in there, of all ages, nationalities, and backgrounds, loved kids. All kids, unconditionally. They thought that all kids were cute, beautiful, smart, loving, and precious. I can see where the precious part comes in, (no children=no future for the human race.) but I'm a realist. I don't show preferential treatment to children. I treat them in an objective, unbiased manner, almost the same manner I treat adults. You know why? 'Cuz most kids aren't cute, smart, and loving. In fact, some of them are complete fuckin' assholes. Buuuuuuuut, the ones who are good to me and other people are children I respect. However, these other people don't live in reality. It's like they have a baby fetish. Not a sexual fetish, that's not what I meant*. Rather, they have an unhealthy obsession with children, and it's really out of balance, I tell you.
Four; the parking. the less said, the better.
Fifth and last; the restrooms. The restrooms aren't bad, per se, rather, it's that the people who use the men's rooms (human males.) forget to flush. Here's a public service announcement; FLUSH THE GODDAMN TOILETS!!!!! IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!!!!!! Thank you.
But if these things don't bother you, you should go to college if you haven't already. It's a great experience.
*"LOL! Everyone in xm's speech class last year is a pedo!" is probably what you want to say right now. Good gravy, that would be frightening if that was true.
