Yeah this is the future of america

[candyshopgirl]

I'm so tired of these college kids bragging about how they skipped class and went shopping.Or how they felll asleep in class and one idiot was bragging about how he flucked a test.Yes people bragging!!!
You know I would have loved to have my parents pay for college.I don't understand is this some cool new kid trend I'm not aware of? Hell I skipped alot of high school but this is college,this is how you get a job in the future.
Hey I flunked my math test(clutus from the simpsons laugh)

I also overheard a jackass talking about using a copying machine to copy a book. I'm convienced that I'm not living on the same damn planet as these assholes. You can always tell the serious students from the morons.The serious girls come in and their hair in matted,thrown up on their head and they have that look that says I haven't had a date in a year. And then you have the girls perfect hair and makeup and they look like the cover of vogue. And they are usually the ones with the cigeratte voice and talking about drinking/vomiting the night before.

And while I'm on a roll..
These college kids are pigs.I heard one girl telling her friend that she was making out with a guy she didn't know inbetween her friend holding her hair and puking. Yes you heard that right she would puke and then go makeout and then go puke again. And I don't believe the whole well their young crap. This is just beyond gross. And once again people I weep for the future.

Dude, sick. I bet she's given a few blumpkins in her time as well.

People, especially young adults, have been doing everything you just wrote for at least sixty years. They're just more open about it these days. But it's been happening ever since you were in school, at least.

AAHHH! BLUMPKIN!

[Megg]

Yikes. I am actually kind of glad I had to Google that particular term. HORRIBLE mental image.

It seems to me like this new generation is the "I don't give a f*ck" generation. Sure, GenX may have been the "me" generation, but dang, people. This is ridiculous. Bragging about being a liar, thief, cheat, and/or failure? Um, okay. And puking between makeout sessions? I wonder if the guy even noticed.

[Balgram]

Woah, sometimes going to a religious university sounds nice? I haven't seen anything like what you are talking about.

I skip class and don't get the best grades, but it's nothing to brag about. Heck, it's only when I have to work and I'm forced to miss class. I hate missing class and I avoid doing so when I can.

People brag about stuff in an attempt to explain and even forgive any guilt they may have about the behavior. Reminds me of cognitive dissonance, but probably because I was learning about that earlier today. Most likely has nothing to do with anything.

I shouldn't type tired. The moral was "I really, really hope you are talking about the exceptions." and "BYU rocks...? I haven't seen that kind of behavior here."

[Yfandes]

Same thing I remember from college over 20 years ago. I remember telling one kid that his only value was that he lowered the grading curve in my classes

As a Gen-Xer, I feel I should point out it's the Gen-Y's that are the "me generation". The really serious self obsession didn't start till them. I'm not really sure what us X's are known for. Um, I'm just normal...

Every generation thinks the one following it is selfish, immature, and taking the world to hell in a handbasket.

Some young people can be impetuous, immature, and sometimes thoughtless and irresponsible. This is part of being young. But they will grow up, just as we all did.

We can only hope.The most likely case will be they move back home and live with and off their parents. And we will see them on a Dr Phil show about moochers.

Ah, college. My first (well, only) college roommate would come back from a night of drinking (waking me up in the process) and then grab my trashcan to be sick in. Even though the bathroom door was directly across the hall from our room. To top it off, I'm a sympathetic puker, so it just never ended well...

I got yelled at by most of classmates when a big psych test was graded on the curve. Why was I yelled at? Because I did my best and got a 99 on the test. It seems most of the others blew off studying because they were counting on the curve to bring their grade up. 1/3 of the class failed. The professor called me into his office later to thank me. He said it would do them good in the long run. And he gave me 5 bonus points to my final grade in the class for it.

Try since the middle ages (and probably before, with the Greeks). There are some interesting rants by professors at some English Universities during that time about "Drunken Debauchery" amonst their students.

For many students, college is the first time they can really make decisions without having to come home to mommy and daddy. Many don't handle it well. Some will clean themselves up, and some go on to drop out or to get worthless degrees in underwater basket weaving and wonder why they can't get a job doing what they went to college for.

[Kheldarson]

There was only one class in college I skipped and/or ignored and that was Econ. Why? Because the professor had been teaching it the same way for years and didn't take attendance. So when his entire lecture came from the book, all his examples came from the book, and he wouldn't deviate from the book...yeah, I read the book and only showed up for tests.

Still got an A both semesters.


But...there were still quite a few students who would skip in other classes that you really couldn't do that in, like Poli Sci. I laughed when they complained about their grades later in the semester.

[lupo pazzesco]

See, and I thought it was just me, thinking a majority of college students are, well, idjits.

I don't know. Working where I work, my patience for students has all but disappeared. You do have the two types candyshopgirl mentioned, the ones who take it seriously and the ones who don't. The serious ones come in and ask about their books, usually ahead of time, get as many details as they can, price estimates, etc.

then you get the not so serious ones who come in and ask if there's anyway they DON'T need their math books, because they have to be able to afford money for partying this coming weekend. (Kid you not! Had a freshie come in and say he needed money for beer for Labor Day weekend, and was there anyway I could help him by giving him a 50% discount on his books!)

I know that typecasting an entire generation is wrong, but I've found that it's more the rule that they're rather spoiled and selfish, and while there are exceptions, they're rather few and far between. Just my opinion from my observations though.
