Rage...

*rant*

I'm really tired of how some colleges still treat their students like 12 year olds. I'm 19 years old and have been in a committed relationship for 3 years, but I have to sneak my girlfriend into my building to spend the night because apparently my school thinks I'm too young to spend the night with a girl. Seriously? It's like my 12th fucking birthday, where girls could be there, but not spend the night, because that would be innapropriate!

Seriously, I pay 8 grand a year to live here. That's just to live here, not counting food, laundrey services, mail, parking, and getting fined because some moron in my hall couldn't handle his drinks and puked in the stairwell. And I'm paying for it, with scholarships and loans that I got, my parent's aren't paying a dime. Yet I'm not allowed to have my girlfriend over a few nights a week because, what, it breaks Franciscan values (my college is a Franciscan Catholic School, not that I'm either)?

My girlfriend's school doesn't pull this bullshit, but I can't go there whenever I want, I have to be up at 5:30 4 nights out of the week for PT, not to mention training events on weekends that go all day. Telling us that she can't come here is effectively stopping us from seeing each other. They wouldn't even know about her coming here if my fucking old roommates hadn't narked on me because they were a bunch of bitches. They woke up at 10:00 every day and simply had to stay up until 2 every morning so they can play video games with their friends, keeping me from getting less sleep then I already did with my early mornings. Oh, but I woke them up when I left for PT, then she did when she left a few hours later, and they only had three more fucking hours to roll over and go back to sleep. My new roommates actually like when she's over!

It hasn't happened yet, but my RD recently banned a commuter from ever coming into my Dorm again because he kept spending the night and hinted that my girlfriend might be in the same boat. We've been dating since high school, and last year we didn't see each other once. Seriously, 372 days where the best we got to do was Skype, because I was in college and her family moved out of state. We went through all that with the hopes that we would be together when she got to school (she's a year younger then me), and now something else might be getting in the way of it. And all because of some stupid, outdated, draconian bullshit rule that my school for some reason still has.

Just had to get that off my chest. Feel free to completely ignore this and get on with your lives.

Why did you decide to go to a Catholic University, again?

[mrpikmin2]

I'm not saying it is because it's a catholic school, but it's because it's a catholic school.

Anyway tales from your life are awful interesting.

[Rologton]

I got an ROTC scholarship to here and it's one of the top ROTC programs in the country sooooo... That pretty much sealed the deal.

And yes, I'm sorry to put up a blog post, I just had to rant... -.-

ROTC officers... ew.

Anyway, if you plan on commissioning, get used to it. LT's are treated like children, especially in the entry phase.

Also, be good to your enlisted. If they find out you're an ROTC grad, they already will have negative presumptions about you. Don't prove us right.

yeah, I've spent the night in a girl's dorm a lot of times.... (I've never lived in a dorm myself because I'm a retard).

Yeah, I'm going to avoid being a dicks as much as possible. There are aready guys in my program that are "that guy" and I don't intend to emulate that.

I'm going to lay down some old man wisdom on you, it might hurt a bit.

First, you fucked up by still dating your HS girlfriend in college. Just to be clear, had you started dating some girl exclusively freshman year, I would still be telling you that you've fucked up.

Second, the person who has to wake up earlier has the upper hand in college. I should introduce you to one of my roommates, he woke up early (for no reason mind you other than being insane) and had some AWESOME ways to deal with dipshits who wanted to play PS3 at 2:30 in the morning. One was doing warm-up calisthenics to really hard core rap at a really loud volume. I'll talk to him and see what else he has in his quiver.

Thirdly, seriously, if you're not getting married to this girl this year, you've fucked up by dating your HS girlfriend in college.

Fourthly, while you are banging the cute girls at your college who are not your HS girlfriend, wear a rubber.

That's pretty much it, unless either Fingerman or Failhorse has anything to add from the old man wisdom department.

[LegendarySurgeon]

you fucked up

Don't bother disagreeing now, Rologton, but a couple years down the road let us know you understand.

[Chocolate Love God]

We have an old joke that has some truth behind it:

"Whats the difference between a PFC and an LT? A PFC has been promoted twice."

But Kudos to you for not being "that guy". If you stay true to that people will actually take you seriously and respect you.

[Rologton]

There's nothing I can say to that other than we made it through literally a year appart from each other so I think we're on the right track. Also, none of the girls here are as interesting as her.

Also, she's bi, sooooo... Yeah. Don't think that I'm missing out on anything.
