In many ways, my first semester of Uni was fucking awesome. And I'm not ashamed to admit that most of that is having a bookstore and a subway on campus. But in other capacities, I find myself kind of disapointed.
Like, you know all of those American movies you see that are set in a "College" [as they call them] ?? I really expected all of those rallies and protests to be there. There was like, a few days where booths for different causes and shit were set up, and you could like, sign up or something, but it all felt very hollow. The people there just sat around, let you come at your own pace.
I expected charismatic leaders yelling at us through bullhorns, accusing us of allowing atrocities to continue and begging us to take up arms against the perpetrators. But that wasn't what it was; there was no passion to any of it. If there were, I probably would have signed up for something, or gotten into a fight with followers for something I stood against. And that would have been better.
Having an excuse to get into fights with people is always good. Isn't that what Uni was for anyway??
