i have come to the conclusion that they coddle us here at my preppy little college.

[cimorene]

what evidence do i have, you ask?

consider:

*at the end of add/drop, 100 students were still not registered at all. that is almost exactly 1/12th of our total enrollment, and they were not penalized. the admin. just wrung their hands and sounded confused.

*the theme house application said, yes, in bold print, that no late applications will be accepted. i turn mine in 4 days late. not only do they say nothing about it, but they seem astonished when i start to mention it.

*their policy for all kinds of contraband, from pets to microwaves to kegs, is that they look the other way if they possibly can, as well as warning us in advance (walk on campus, not on the main road, because the town police go on the main road, and they'll arrest you; before going out of town, please remove all contraband items from your room.)

*our rcs are not the same as ras because they don't have authority to turn you in for anything.

*the most popular way to cheer oneself up, i am reliably informed, even above getting drunk, is ordering from j crew online.

Did that offend you? I'm sorry if it did. While I love being spoiled by my college sometimes, other things like the amount of money apparently being spent by my peers on clothes and accessories is a trifle alarming. Then again, they are the Engineering and Info Tech majors, so they'll get the $70K jobs right out of graduation. Bitter? me? Nah....
