I Hate College Students

Naturally, I’ve mentioned this before, but I hate college students. They’re like a swarm of locusts (I guess anyways…. never actually seen that come to think of it..). They’re like a pack of dogs. They’re like…..tourists. They clog up the stores and roadways and it impossible to get around.

Mind you, I don’t have nothing against any particular student, or 2, or 3, or 20 even. It’s the 20,000 that’s the problem. I don’t know how many exactly stay around all year, but I’m guessing at least 75% are of the mirgrational type. When they show up in town, the population roughly doubles. On the up side, they don’t all have cars, but then on the down side, on those certain roads that lead to hundreds of apartment units, traffic will be up closer to 500%. Unfortunately, I work down one of those roads. There’s a little bridge over some railroad tracks that they tore out in the spring and it’s taking them a full year to replace (this I don’t get…they had the old bridge gone in the first few days the road was closed….why does it take 12 months to build a 20 foot bridge?) that would be one of the main routes for what amounts to about 500 apartments to get into town. Now, they’re taking the shorter of the two remaining routes which just so happens to be where my work is located. When I got out last night at 11:30 you wouldn’t have known it. Traffic was as bad or worse than you’d expect it to be in the middle of the day.

And the stores…The students swarm through the stores, once again making them several times more busy than they would be otherwise. Seeing as though I don’t particularly like people that much, this is extra annoying. Of course, they buy everything as well, so shelves tend to run on the empty side. These items are primarily a problem of the last couple of days and will last through this next week. You see, they all show back up and start buying things for their dorms/apartments and clear everyone out. I remember last year we were out on the weekend before classes started and we saw about 50 cars waiting at a light to turn towards walmart and target. Normally there would be closer to 10 or 15.

    hey thanks for stopping by my blog.
    i agree with you. io generally think of the vocals as another instrument and let them blend in with the music (especially if the growls are unintelligible). but it’s the ones that DON’T blend in that i have a problem with. ugh! and yes, i’m as amazed by Deicide’s singer as you are. :)

    anyway i like your blog. think i’ll bookmark it. :)

    Well as I am also from a college town I have noticed this total crap. While the university helps local economy I am utterly sickened by the ‘buy buy buy’ attitude of rich kids with their parents money, and all the while buying useless things like fast food and books glorifying communism. I am also sickened by they’re false sense of self importance, and security that a university degree is supposed to offer as if anyone cares that they are studying for finals or when the next frat party is most people have real things to worry about and what the hell is up with their obsession with football??????????
    ps-deicide fuckin rock

    I also live in a college town in Texas. Those kids are nothing but a bunch of punks. They act like life is so hard but their parents send them to school in brand new volkswagens and those little pricks can afford high end clothing.

    Then after they get their useless art degrees they go back to their stupid little suburbs to live in their parents basements.

    Someone needs to kick their gay little asses!

    I am a college graduate…and I fucking hate college students. I am 30,000 in debt because my parents did not do shit for me (I am not complaining about that) and I was told about all the doors college would open for me. Bullshit. Go, get a job at a good company, and meet the right people. Live life. Don’t waste time and a lot of money getting a piece of paper. Take the money and travel the world, go get laid, and live.

    I join you all in laughing at the spoiled ass bitches who go to college and have a inflated view of their self importance. The only thing I can say about them, is their girlfriends are good for some free pussy when they get drunk. HAHA
