flip a bitch and turn on the light switch...

i have absolutely no idea what inspired that title...but okay...

so i've realized why college is so god damn cool...i've got it...the secret...so its because we are all confronted with all the trials and tribulations of the adult life while living up the immaturities of when we were little...

examples: i don't know about you all but i'm constantly faced with decisions about drugs, alcohol, sex, relationships, jobs, furthuring my education, friends, distance, family, money, debt, food, living space, companionship, etc....hard shit to deal with...stuff that takes all my strength to face (especially when it comes all at once)....stuff that is rediculously hard to figure out...this being "the most exciting, defining and important time of our lives" its awesome and i'm havin a blast with it...its exciting i'll give ya that...

at the same time we get to be immature and its okay...a 30 yr old is looked down on as rediculously strange if they go jumpin around in puddles on a rainy day (my jeans are still soaked) and only a frosh can make a fort in thier room and its acceptable (currently typing this up in my fort behind my shroud of mystery) and whats better is now we have the sense (sometimes) to do these things right...(for example, i'm not making my fort out of unsturdy couch cushions anymore so that the heavy things i put on them to hold up the sheets fall on my head...instead i use the laws of physics and go to the hardware store for things that i need to make it last awhile)...collegers are expected to be in the process of growing up...but not completely there yet...we can be stupid and obnoxious and people overlook it for the most part...we can make soap in the dorm kitchen just because we idolize fight club and have no better excuse to get away from our homework...we can smash pumpkins in the street just cause we're pissed about a bad score we got on a test....we don't need a job cause; we'll pay it off later, or just do whithout, or find a boy to pay for it...we can eat cold pizza for breakfast, a candy bar for lunch, and then cocoa pebbles and beer for dinner...its acceptable...oh those rambunkious kids...they are just experimenting...finding thier limits...we can stay up all night goin to ihop and take a midterm the next day cause afterwards we'll just sleep until some hooligan knocks on our door inviting us to the next party...yet we can still be mature and that works as well...we can go to voluntary lectures and theatrical productions...we can learn other languages just cause we want to...we can take trips to see friends and family without our parent's permission...we can do whatever we want whenever we want...and it kicks ass...but we lose the ability to do all those immature crazy things as we grow up...its not just seen as a rogue act of teenage normalcy...getting stoned before going to work is definitely not seen as acceptable...building a fort in your apartment adn inviting the people down the hall to watch cartoons in it is not acceptable...if you went to a park and jumped in puddles you would probably get arrested...so as long as we don't get too bogged down with the responsibility we have so much more freedom than we ever had and ever will have...and THAT is why college kicks ass...
