Regurgitators

Series of events that occurred today have led me to a thought. My thought is now here, and I hope everyone reading this can relate with my recent frustrations.

Finals time has arrived on campus, along with the selling out of every energy drink. (As a side note, I would like to see the sales figures for energy drinks during the months of December and May). Anyway, this also bring hoards of people to the library. Loud, obnoxious, and oblivious to anyone else around them. Cramming their brain with information that they will inevitably regurgitate onto a scantron. Then they will forget whatever information they just learned.

I have a spot in the library, me and a couple of friends refer to it as, "The Cove." It's our spot, we're there 3 or 4 times a week, at The Cove. My cove has been full all week. Filled with loud, obnoxious, and oblivious regurgitators. Where's my spot?! Answer my question! Do you have memories here, is this "your spot?" I'm sure you think it is, and you tell your friends to meet you at "the spot." But it's not your spot. You're a regurgitator.

It seems that you take part in this college experience to gain knowledge. However, what they don't tell you is that if you just regurgitate information, and you know someone, you can land a pretty comfy job after school.

Then I place a phone call to a local advertising agency. I simply need to talk to someone in the human resources department. However, the operator has no idea who to connect me to. She's just a temp.

"So can you connect me to someone that would know?"

"Well sir, I don't know who that would be..."

"Oh I understand, but just anyone would be fine, I'm sure they could connect to whomever I need to speak with."

"But I don't know who that would be."

"Just anyone would do...."

"I don't think I can do that..."

So this makes me think....

Is the American workforce full of regergitators???? When does one take ownership of their education and actually apply what they've learned. So instead of the answer being "B: the knee bone's connected to the thigh bone" you can say, "Hey, the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone, so don't perform this certain operation."

You regurgitator. Go throw up all over your scantron, then land a comfy job. Be content.

Or don't.

Take ownership of the information you learn. Change the world. Whether it's the world of nursing, marketing, fashion apparel, engineering, whatever it may be, change it. Know the world you learned in school, then become the best at your world.

Regurgitators won't stand a chance.

So that's my new insult....Out of road rage today in the parking deck, a huge Chevy with their greek letters on it....you know which one I'm talking about....with the lift and the duck head on it, it reversed out of it's spot not even bothering to look and stop....So I called him a F#$@ing regurgitator.....
