Although it has been about two and a half years since I last stepped in high school, I remember my senior year like it was yesterday.

Throughout high school, all my friends who graduated would tell me how the drama ends once you step into college.

Since I wasn’t in college at the time, I assumed they were telling the truth since they’ve experienced both high school and college life and were able to see the differences between the two.

Well now I’ve been in college for two years exactly, and I can safely say that those people who were telling me drama ends in college were flat out wrong.

It could be possible that in my senior year of high school, that I misinterpreted what they were saying.

Maybe my friends were telling me that only the high school drama ends once I graduate but there is still drama in college.

They also could have been telling me the truth, but they were only implying it to their school. Either way, it most certainly doesn’t relate to what goes on at school here.

Everywhere I turn on campus, there seems to be drama. Whether it be drama between sports teams, social organizations or just any student in general, there is drama everywhere. Maybe it is because we go to a small university that word can spread fast since there aren’t as many student here.

At a state school, where there could be anywhere from 20,000 to 60,000 students, word doesn’t spread fast since there are too many students.

Either way, whether you go to a state school or a small university like Hartford, the drama needs to end.

All of us go to college for the same reason, to eventually get a job in the future upon graduation. It shouldn’t matter what major you are, we all have the same mindset.

The great thing about not only this university, but colleges throughout the country, is that there is great diversity amongst the student population. As adults, we should respect each other’s decision on what we want to do with our lives.

Also, drama between social organizations need to stop. Whether it is between certain clubs or Greek life or any other type of organization, it needs to end.

It shouldn’t matter what fraternity or sorority you are in or what type of club you participate in on campus. Students should be focusing on only themselves, not what other people do.

Finally, at this point in our lives, why should people feel the need to even be gossiping or talking badly about other people. We are too old to be playing child games like that. Drama is for high schoolers, who are just starting to get in their teens who have nothing better to do than to start rumors and lies.

Once you graduate high school, it is time to grow up and act mature. If you continue to start drama in college, what is going to happen once you enter the real world?

In conclusion, just stop with the drama. I’m too old to be dealing with stuff that I shouldn’t have to deal with, and I’m sure a lot of people feel the same way.

Let’s leave the bologna and act like mature adults around here.
