There was a stupid bomb threat on my campus today, so there were about a million cops around and it took me 15 minutes longer to get to class then usual. Garbage. It's not like I had enough of this shit in high school or anything, I could really use it in college too.
I was telling my euphemism about this, and how there were bomb/shoot/other violence threats every few months while I was in high school, and he (being five years older then me) asked if this shit was just normal for me, then. I said no, not at all, and he said that he would be freaking out if this happened while he was in college. So I guess maybe it is. I certainly suppose I take it in more stride then I might prefer. I certainly always assume that it's an idle threat.
The difference between those of us who went to high school during and post-Columbine and those who went pre-Columbine is very interesting to me. I wrote a really shitty short story about it once. I wonder where that manuscript is.
bullshit,
college,
my generation
