During my time in college I have met people who are extraordinary, smart, mature, talented and funny, but I have also met people who are easily offended, unrealistic and act like idiots at the smallest things. “Sex” is a word that is casually thrown around by college students, yet there are people who cannot stand the word and think that when a person talks about sex that they are referring to sexual intercourse even though it has different meanings. According to the Royal English dictionary there are two ways to define sex; it is the definition of being male or female, or intercourse between the two. I feel that people who get offended at words like “sex” or “Mexican” have the wrong the perspective of the words. Acting like an annoying teen in college is wrong, judging people because of what they say will never get people to like you. College students know what basic terms mean, and do not get offended by words that are so common even though they may have vulgar meanings. Doing things to get attention is not right; friends are made in college by acting like who you are, not by getting attention. Prancing around and making a circus out of yourself will not get you anywhere in college, unless the career path that you have chosen is theater or drama, no offense to those who are drama or theater majors. Don’t fake the innocence, although there are many people who haven’t experienced what others or I have, acting like an innocent angel will only bring backlash from peers. If you are over the age of 18, then you are considered an adult. People need to be realistic, and not ruin their reputation by goofing off. Goofing off is not what college is about, if you’re at college then there is a level of maturity you must have. There are times to have fun, but don’t act like an immature teenager in college. High school is over, and people need to leave the drama from it at the door.
High school immaturity needs to stay out college
