Yes, this is my rant. Why you ask? Because I am beyond frustrated. As you enter college, you're also entering adulthood. You're expected to conduct yourself as an adult. No, you don't have to be one all of the time. However, there are specific circumstances where it's just time to grow up.

For instance, we still need to respect authority. Even though we're now adults, we still have authority figures. Just because we're away from our mommas or our daddies doesn't mean we have free range to act however we want. We still have to carry ourselves in a respectful manner. Now, I know there are times when everything is fun and games. We can make jokes and we can laugh. However, when you're in a situation where you're supposed to listen to an authority figure, please do so without mockery. That's just plain rude.

We're in college. We're adults. But, we still respect authority figures-- even if they're the same age as you. It doesn't matter. Don't get annoyed or act surprised when someone asks you to be quiet in the library. It's common sense. Libraries are quiet for a reason. People come here to read, study, and do homework. At least have the respect to be quiet while they're doing so. You wouldn't be very happy if someone else disrupted your studies, now, would you?

I'm so done with people thinking they're above certain rules just because they're considered adults now. I know that one day they will get a taste of their own medicine, but I'm just sick of it. I'm ready for people to realize that being rude doesn't get them anywhere in life. It doesn't take that much effort to just be kind to others.

"Be someone's sunshine when their skies are grey."

You really don't ever know what someone is going through or how their week has been. Be kind. Show love.
