Just thinking last night...

I agree with you. College today is no longer higher education, it's a rite of passage, and not having gone to college is a mark of shame. Now there are a lot of people in college who really shouldn't be.

I didn't go to college and I'm certainly not ashamed of it, and don't think I'd particularly want to associate with anyone who thinks it's a mark of shame.

It didn't say it was- I feel the opposite way. A lot of people have this idea, though, that college is the goal, and people who don't go to college fall short. As a result, lots of people who really shouldn't be in college, are.

It's one of the reasons I got off campus - the constant partying, noise, and drunk people wandering aimlessly around campus. I had thought that a party was a sort of special occasion thing, done only over long intervals. At college, it seems like the occasion is, "I just finished another week of class!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!"
Who. Cares. You're going to finish quite a few more weeks of class. What else do you celebrate, using the toilet properly? I guess that would be cause for celebration, as some people get so drunk that they do seem to have trouble with this activity.


Don't most people get to be in their 30's or 40's before they start getting that "Damn kids these days" feeling? I've felt that since sometime in my late teens. Maybe I won't be one of those old guys who yells at kids to get off the lawn. I think I'll sit on the porch with a paintball gun instead.
