The interesting factor

So, school has been pretty interesting for the first couple weeks. However, I'm a little skeptical about whether it can continue being interesting for much longer. It's interesting having so many new people on campus, who are either new to the school or went abroad last year.

The freshmen at this school are both cool and crap. Why cool?
- They're friendly
- They're not too artsy
- Younger people listen to you

Why crap?
- They're cliquey
- They're pretty boring
- They think that you'll listen to them
- They're spoiled rich brats
- They're snobby about drugs ("Oh my gosh, you smoke out of a pipe? I only smoke blunts")

The problem with maintaining the interesting is that when all these people try to have a small gathering - a party, if you will - campus security comes and breaks it up. People were trying to get around this annoyance by registering their parties with the school and making it so that people under 21 couldn't get alcohol. (That's not what happened but in theory...) And the school STILL broke up that party. So last night people have a registered, drug free dance party, with a DJ and tons of people dancing and having fun, completely sans alcohol. And campus security broke up that party too. Apparently the number of people was a "fire hazard" and the DJ got cited for "misconduct" (being too loud...).

So a year that starts out full of cool-sounding parties will probably die down to the ever-familiar stark boredom by next weekend. Why? Because people will give up.* This school sucks.

* I suppose I'm giving up too, but it's disappointing and I take rejection like McDonalds makes healthy meals: not very well.
