A bit of a vent, so please ignore if you wish.
This is the last weekend of the school year at my university. As such, there's an all-day party of sorts. Everyone gets very drunk and obnoxious, and there's incredibly loud music playing all day. I wouldn't mind, but it does sort of ruin my day, since it's nearly impossible to escape the stimulation. Even sitting in my room, I can hear people running and screaming in the hallway and the noise from the speakers outside - not even music, just someone pounding on the microphone. Going to the dining hall is unpleasant because people think it's cute and funny to throw food and act silly. I just get annoyed at the blatant disregard for rules and the administration's turning of the other cheek and tacitly encouraging obnoxious behavior.
okay this just made me wonder, I wonder why people get louder and stupider to express themselves. I wonder why it is considered superior to everyone suddenly getting quieter and smarter one day a year.
