Ok...I typed this WHOOLE entry before but my friends computer sucks and it got fucked up so here we go AGAIN
Today my school had ameeting about the alchohol related problems that we have. This year, vandalism has been worse than ever, 18 students have gone to the hospital for alcholhol poisoning, and there have been over 200 reports of underage drinking.
Now they want to make the campus dry. I for one, am FOR IT. I do drink once in a while but when I drink, I'm responsible. I dont drink to the point where I could DIE and I dont run around vomiting in the hallways and pissing in the elevator and punching holes in walls and bullshit like that.
Students argued that it is RAs and public safety's fault because they don't take enough action.
In those arguements they therefore PROVE that they cannot be responsible for themselves. The fact that they need authority figured to tell them not to be stupid proves they cannot decide to act maturly for themselves and therefore do not deserve the privelege to drink.
My friend Ro put it best "When you live here, this is your HOME and I like to protect my home and when I see people vandalizing it I call public safety, if you did half the things here at home your parents would kill you" and some girl started making excuses that its because they have nothing to do.
Ok, WHAT DID YOU COME TO COLLEGE TO DO?! GROW UP! When you are unhappy about something confront it in a mature matter and talk to authority figures. Don't throw tantrums like children.
Sooo thats my rant

I've got a kid in my class now that is in constant need of supervision. He is driving me nuts.
Anyway, there will never be a solution to problems with underage drinking. Even overage people get retarded sometimes. SHit.
People, in large groups, are just dumb. Don't let it piss you off, because it will just drive you mad for the rest of your adult life.
