"I Love College"

<p>The following posts motivated my “out of touch with reality” phrase:</p>

Sigh. My son went to a HIGH SCHOOL dance the other night and was disgusted. He said, “Mom, they didn’t dance at all - it was all grinding! Is college going to be like that?” He was so disappointed. He just wanted to dance!

</p>

<p>

That is disgusting.

I (unfortunately) had the pleasure of hearing that song the other day while I was driving. I was so annoyed I pulled over and ranted a bit to my friend who was driving with me

<p>These posts represent to me, people whose opinions which I have to respect, but at the same time, these people are kidding themselves if they think they can shelter their young ones from this forever.</p>

<p>The following post represented the objectiveness and realism that I think many of you could benefit from:

Sounds like a song that could have been around when I was in college. Those '60s and '70’s songs were no better.

</p>

<p>And as for this post, I agree wholeheartedly.</p>

<p>

I actually think it’s a catchy tune, and the artist has been well educated (about what will sell); I just mourn the time and money wasted by the kids who will consider this their “anthem”.

</p>

<p>There’s a happy medium somewhere and you’ve recognized that. I’m a Chemical Engineering major and on the deans list, but I refuse to refer to grinding dance moves as some sort of taboo movement. This is the reality of today. Like it or leave it, and some of you have chosen to leave it.</p>

<p>Like a burning Tiki torch attracts moths, this thread drew kids lurking in the parents’ cafe. Never fails. :)</p>

<p>Well…I WAS hoping kids would notice the thread title ( I’ve learned a little about thread titles since I’ve been here…) and let me know if the song was popular…but I wouldn’t DARE go over THERE!</p>

<p>That’s right, ignore the voice of reason.</p>

<p>Shrinkrap,
Some of the kids I have talked to have noticed that being around drunks is not a lot of fun. But it does seem that drinking among college kids is even worse than it was in the early 80s when I was in school</p>
