College Students

College Students

I, being a college student myself, have a lot of respect, admiration, and sympathy for other college students.

They spend their days busting their ass to nail that great metaphor they've been saving for the last paragraph.

They study all weekend and get drunk every single night.

They tell their friends about all sorts of grandiose secrets that bother them when they go to sleep at night.

I appreciate their dreams ideas, intellects, and curiosities.

Their entrepreneurship and creativity.

Their banality and foie gras of Episcopalian ritualism that begets the ever so tactful of college goers in their prime.

To be, or not to be, young again? Many future college students will revel in a technological utopia beyond the fingertips of modern man and wonder why the people of the past did not have such a luxury and to them I say that their lives were built on the deaths of millions and to be like pain and suffering are a thing of the past and perhaps, even death,

Moving on, I thought I'd cover one thing about college students that seems to be a bit of a hallmark of college which is radicalism. 

Radical display of political views via political activism and civic action is always nice.

College students really know how to stick it "that guy" or "the man", whenever the need arises.

Take these college students for example, in Sacramento: 

In early March 2012, this sight was not uncommon at the capitol due to oncoming cuts to education in colleges.

Many, many college goers showed up to prevent the massive loss of funding to their schools because there wasn't much more out there for them. 

Lawmakers in the capitol were made aware of a massive demographic teeming with opposition to their desire to make college more expensive.

College goers seem to have this effect of being able to make those few ideas which just seem like crazy fun ideas most people will never do, real.

For instance, if any out there are familiar with UCLA and USC then you should be familiar with their legendary rivalry.

The rivalry of USC and UCLA has been infamous and has amounted to being being beat and killed, public property being defaced, sports traditions being established, and more.

In fact, the famous spartan statue at USC was holding a sword and some college students rented an airplane and had it airlifted from the campus only to later return it.

Also, the statue has been spray painted multiple times, had the sword hacked off and re-attached to its groin region, and been covered in feces and bile. 

It still stands to this day.

College students are truly the epitome of freedom in this country, regardless of ho lawless their behavior may be.
