The black person, and the white person, and the Asian person, and the ethnically ambiguous person...

So, freshman convocation was today. It was rather lame, save for the keynote speaker who ran a little long, but had an overall really good speech. (See headline quote...)

But anyways, I was under the impression that I am to be a freshman in college tomorrow, not one in high school. THEREFORE, I was severely irked by the fact that everyone around me decided they needed to act like freshmen.
I do not CARE what party you went to last night that was broken up by the cops shortly after you left, I do not CARE how many times you've gotten wasted since move-in, I do not CARE that some girls invited you to their room but weren't there when you showed up, and, while I'm aware that this event wasn't exactly in your top 5 fun things to do the night before classes start (believe me, it wasn't in mine), I DO care that you weren't courteous enough to put away your cell phones and pay attention to the speaker (and not the person next to you) for 45 minutes. It's rude.
*Sigh*
But I digress. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be in some HONORS classes with some HONORS-type people who care a little more. And wear more clothing than I saw some girls wearing today (that's pretty impressive that you got that shirt to stretch that far and STAY there though...)
Meh. That's Lauren being self-righteous for the evening.
