On every college campus you’re going to have people making stupid decisions. I would argue that this is one of the things that makes college so great.

In the real world, you can’t play leap frog in the middle of the road because it’s “dangerous”. I guess it’s relatively dangerous on a road on a college campus too, but cars are only going fifteen miles an hour (or are supposed to be, anyway). Either the driver or the leap froggers are bound to stop or get out of the way in time to avoid an accident.

The best part is a lot of college students, if they were the one behind the wheel, would probably just laugh and take a video of it on their phones. Some might be bothered or annoyed, but they would most likely find it humorous enough to laugh about later.

In the real world, on the off chance that this did not cause a legitimate car accident, someone would probably call the cops on the leap froggers.

The real world seems so dull compared to a college campus. We need to be quieter, and act less weird and maybe even wear sweatpants less than five days a week.

Students complain about a lot of things about this campus, but I think if we look at the larger picture we would realize how lenient the rules are around here. We are allowed to sing at the top of our lungs, and I think a college campus is one of the only places where singing is more encouraged the worse you are at it.

We’re even allowed to play instruments in stairwells in any building we so choose. Try finding a building outside of a college campus where you can do that without getting kicked out!

Okay, so the food isn’t great. (I think it is, but I’m getting the notion that is not the majority opinion.) But once you get into the real world, you’re going to be hard-pressed to go to a buffet-style restaurant every night.

You can’t beat buffet-style. Enough said.

Saving the best for last, living within a five-minute’s walk of all your friends. Paying for rent and utilities and only being around the same couple people (if you are living with anyone at all) is simply not the same as living on campus.

Being able to flit from one friend’s apartment to another every night is an opportunity no one can manage outside of college. The floors may creak and the showers may shriek, but facilities will come fix anything that’s broken within a couple of days… free of charge. Again I say, try finding someone to do that off campus.

What I’m trying to say is that we should appreciate the time we have here while we can. Before you know it you will be graduating and the real world will be a lot less flattering than staying on campus.

You’re going to miss being able to do, wear and say stupid things whenever you want.

So… long story short… be stupid while you can and appreciate all the stupid around you!
