Never go back to college:

You'll pretty much hate it.

I'd like to say that a lot has changed to the campus since I left the U this past summer, but that's probably a lie, since not much can change over a few months. But there have been a few key changes:

1) I no longer go to school there.
2) New class of freshmen.

The first one is pretty key, as I'm pretty sure I was the main person holding that university together, and since I've left, it's lost a lot of its luster. The second one also factors in, as I am a subscriber of the belief that we as a collective race are getting more and more stupid... and freshmen usually provide a new kind of stupid.

But yeah. I was feeling kind of sentimental for a bit there for the "simpler times" of college (you know... back when I wasn't broke and was merely looking forward to a future with no money, instead of actively living it), but then I met a friend on campus for lunch, right at the exact moment where there were PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. And then I hated everything.

Perhaps it's just because the semester is new and people are slow to spread their wings away from the student union (which I'm sure was presented as the epicenter for everything to all the incoming freshmen), but still. It's never been that busy... or at least I can't remember it being that busy. And I'm usually not a huge fan of throngs of people.

Or maybe I'm just getting old.

Maybe I just can't handle the young, busy teenage folk like I was once able to.

...

Well crap.
