I’m taking a German course because I need a language credit to graduate.
The theme of the class is: Counter Cultures of the 20th and 21st centuries.
On the Second day of class, my German professor was mortified when she found out we had no “causes worth dying for” or “burning issues” deserving of protest.
I have had several professors who are convinced that students should spend the majority of their undergraduate years protesting. These professors want us to be incensed at the injustices of the word.
They want us to be idealistic.
They want us to start a revolution.
…and they probably want us to smoke pot too.
