#1: Rebelling College Kids

As a new college kid myself, I should probably be more sympathetic to these fresh-faced, newly rebellious teenagers with their pockets still full of mommy and daddy's money (after all, it's only been a few weeks, it can't all have been spent on cheap beer yet). However, I went to boarding school. The conversations I keep overhearing about "just wanting" a body modification make me wince. The new tattoo, or, more often piercing may be "cute" for a freshman, but I, for one, am over it. Ohmygahh, your newly dyed hair is so cute. That nose stud?? Super original. Oh, you wanted that tattoo for forever? Of course, I believe you. That must be why it all looks so good.

(I would post real FB photos if I could. Random google images here)

Nobody cares what you do, freshmeat. Trust me, you're not being original. Take it from an expert. I've done this.

The only difference is that I did it two years earlier. I got over it. So will you.
