I hate hippies!!!

They smell, they don't shave their legs or armpits (girls), they don't wear shoes, and they hate me for being a conformist. I realize I go to UC Santa Cruz, so of course there are freaking hippies here, but COME ON! I hate being considered evil because I'm not a weirdo.

There was a quote in the student-run paper today that set me off. Santa Cruz is known for its lack of school spirit; we have never had a football team, and other athletic programs are getting cut. Plus our facilities suck. A reporter asked, "Should athletic involvement be more prominent on the UCSC campus?" One answer: "No, I think the will of the student body should dictate whether we have sports or not. ...I'd like to use frats as an example."

WTF! Nevermind the frat vs. fraternity issue...what the hell do fraternities have to do with this? Ahhhhh f*ing hippies!!!

Did you not visit the campus before signing up?! I mean, your school mascot - the Banana Slug - should've been a dead giveaway! And don't you guys get written evaluations instead of letter grades?

But my school doesn't have a football team either.

Ahahahaha ewwww!

No, I know, right? I visited but I think it was a weekend? I guess I didn't think about the student population. I still really like the campus.

Haha we do get grades now. I get that question all the time. Most professors also give written evals as well, though.

I think the main reason I hate hippies (aside from the hygiene issue) is because they make me feel bad for doing things that are normal at most other universities. *Shrug* I'll survive.
