Have you seen the ad for the new TV show, Glory Daze? It's supposedly about college life, and here is a quote from one of the characters:
"THIS! is COLLEGE!! I'm on my own now! It's crazy! There's no parents... there's no curfew... Wooo!!! This is gonna be a wild ride! I mean, who KNOWS what's gonna happen?! THESE are the glory DAYS!"
Not only does the above ensure that I won't be watching this show, but it also makes me sad for the up & coming generation. What a sad commentary on life. Let's pick the quote apart.
No, you are NOT on your own. You are in college; being on your own entails paying your own way, having a job with real responsibilities with no one to clean up your little life messes.
No, parents or curfew? I hate you inform you son, but you cannot get away from rules....ever. There will always be laws to govern societies; laws which you must obey....hopefully better than you obeyed Mom & Dad.
These are your glory days? Oh, please. If I know you, these are your shameful days. Get real; get a job; get a life.
