So, I'm now a 5th year student (or a Super Senior as we call it here at Umass Dartmouth) and I've come to realize that college life frustrates the hell out of me.

Perhaps this is because I chose to be a Resident Assistant and have been forced to work in a freshmen building for the last 3yrs of my college tenure. Or perhaps its that over the past 5yrs I fell witness to the masses becoming more and more stupid. Yes, each batch of freshmen seem to be dumber and dumber. I really fear for the future of our country.

But yes, I realize there are stupid people all over the world and that there are many smart people to make up for them. But when you see such a large focus of the stupidest people imaginable, you can't help but to think the water supply has been tainted. This may also be a result of parents babying their children. All they have to do is whine and they get whatever they want. When I was a boy I had to earn my gifts. Learn to swim, give up the pacifier, or do well in school were all ways I could get that action figure or a new video game I so desired.

I see these freshmen carrying in 42" flat screen TVs, Xbox 360s, and all kinds of cool computers. Where are they getting all of this? Mommy, Daddy... I need a new (insert useless item) to make my stay at college more comfortable.

At this point you may wonder what this has to do with college and not just my general frustration with parenting techniques of the modern era. I'm bringing all of this back to the college for admitting these mental rejects. They have been babied into stupidity, and this college is only encouraging them by letting so many of them in. Maybe they're really good at standardized tests; but they are not smart people and unless they hit some kind of magical moment of clarity, they are doomed to be the dumbest people I've ever met.
