The Art of Complaining: Actually, There is NO ART in IT! It’s Just Whining!

Young students think they have a lot to do in college with reading, writing, homework, research, essays, presentations. BUT, they have a syllabus that tells them when everything is due. They think they have it so bad. HaHaHa. I say to them, enjoy it while you can. Just wait for the real world...where there are no general instructions in life. Where responsibility is yours and yours alone. Where you will work 40+ hours a week, pay higher work taxes, make mortgage payments, pay exorbitant property taxes, pay for home insurance and warranty, pay for health insurance, pay for life insurance, make car payments, pay for car insurance, spend thousands of dollars on your children’s welfare (health, clothing, education, extracurricular activities, etc.), drive your children to the millions of activities they partake in 24/7, 365, make sure all bills are paid on time; errands done on time. All this while having to live in the real world without any real structure. You are on your own. You must do all these things without a syllabus. Good luck without all that instruction and without the guidelines. On the other side, Kudos to those students who already have to do both: live in the real world while being a college student. That is arduous and gutsy. My hats especially off to those who seldom – or NEVER – complain!
