College vs. High School


So, you would think that there would be a vast amount of differences between these two places/times of someone’s life and what comes along with them.  Well, I’d agree, but I still think that there aren’t enough differences.

I think that the petty drama and gossip that takes place in high school, should end after high school ends.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t.  Especially at such a small college like North Central.  I also think that social media sites, such as Facebook, antagonize these situations.  People are able to communicate much more quickly with many more people through social media sites, so rumors spread much faster.  The gossip can travel and cause more of a threat to people because of the technology we all have access to.

I found a very opinionated article that takes a quick glance and these types of situations and relates them to high school and college level students.  I thought it was very interesting, and quite relevant to what I was personally questioning myself.

These types of situations make me think of a lot of questions.  Why do people take time out of their days to do such things?  There seems to be so many psychological aspects to this that I think would make great topics for investigation.  However, that shall be a topic for another post.
