What are people talking about?

People on this campus are talking about 5 things, sex, drugs, sports, media and each other. Honestly its a little sad; part of me thinks that it's just how teens work, how humans in general work, and the other part wonders if the lack of novel reading and expectations have dropped all of our I.Qs to 55. I believe, from experience and just day to day observations, that a huge reason for this is people wanting to fit in. Everyone just wants to say the things that will get them the most likes, the view that will be most agreed with and less questioned. If society challenged us to take stands on hard issues that have plagued humans for all time, as individauls we would be attacked and have to stand up for what we believe in. And for a lot of people that is really hard, having to stay strong through the doubt and fear, to not cave in and lower themselves to the weakest link.

The best way to slove this problem; Get a hobby, a passion, find people to interact with that you actually care about and get along with. Stop trying to impress everyone and make everyone happy 'cause its impossible anyways.  Fall in love with your morals and values, escape the confining box of normality and get out there.

Just do you,


Twiggy
