You are entitled to you opinions of cours...James, <br /><br />You are entitled to you opinions of course, but I think you are completely missing the point. <br /><br />Mediocrity? are you kidding me? this was PRODUCED entirely by COLLEGE KIDS. not professionals.<br /><br />you say these people go to the library to get good grades, not to learn. does that mean people who are successful work long hours because they love their job, and don't care about money? of course not. <br /><br />Thats the beauty of this video. It tells us success could be fun. <br /><br />Being that this was an INDEPENDENT STUDY project, these guys took it UPON THEMSELVES to create this. it extends intellectual motivation beyond the classroom. if that's not individuality and leadership at its finest, i don't know what is. <br /><br />the video does not care about meaning. rather, it is a celebration of college life. of our culture. Someone once told me "its college, man." Just let go for a second, and enjoy the moment. <br /><br />The enduring meaning is there. Just because theres no shaekespeare or chaucer doesn't mean its poetic genius.Lan$ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630988182535936814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-570620288095829580.post-18687364378039267792010-04-26T12:29:43.004-07:002010-04-26T12:29:43.004-07:00As the person who shows Lan$e this video, I cannot...As the person who shows Lan$e this video, I cannot disagree more with the first post.

This portrayal is sad....Well then I'm a muggle. This portrayal is sad. Our generation is still all about "getting" things that don't really matter. These kids go to the library to get good grades, not to learn. They go to parties to hook up with girls and drink shitty beer and call this a "good time" - the lack of fulfillment in this lifestyle is scary. This video says we are just as lost as the yuppie culture of the 1980s. We have laxbros instead of useless corporate execs, but it's the same deal. Everyone in this video is looking for meaning, and no one will find it. We are complacent with this existence. We should want more - like friendships, relationships, intellectual growth, service to the world, and video games. <br /><br />I am studying at Middlebury this summer, but the "Midd Kid" reference to mediocrity is too strong to ignore. That's what everyone is now: the Midd Kid. Everyone has the same untucked, collared shirts, the same sunglasses - everyone drinks the same beer and plays the same drinking games. Where's the individuality? The leadership? The reform? You really gonna settle for less?Pickenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02257885980151074878noreply@blogger.com
