I miss being in college.
No, not the studies and assignments and projects, definitely not them. Nor the professors! I miss my classmates.
They were weird, yes, and arrogant to various degrees. But they had common sense — the maturity to stay silent when they knew their opinion would be discriminatory in nature.
Unfortunately, my office colleagues don't have that.
I believed that the more someone studies, the more knowledge and experience they gain, along with maturity and common sense. Turns out, I was wrong.
Horribly wrong!
A higher education doesn't always mean better behaviour and maturity.
On one hand, they fetishize having a gay/lesbian friend, enjoy talking about shows with such characters and fawning over them, do the most gayest things with each other. At the same time, they'd spew wild things like it's normal — "Disgusting", "Mental ill", "Mental illness", "Should not be normalised" — and other homophobic and transphobic things that make my stomach churn.
Everyday spent with them is anything but peaceful.

Don't mind me. I'll delete this in the future, when I calm down.
Anyways, how are you all doing? How's life treating you?
