Life of a Student-Part 2

As a former student, I've become somewhat of an expert at avoiding ([very]strange) people's glances throughout my many rides on the transit system to and from school. University in my experience has been very rich and full of interesting new faces each year. Most of whom sincerely wish to and enjoy being at a place of higher learning. Not so on the bus ride to get there however.

The easy sub-division would be to categorize between the quiet people on the bus, and those who choose to share their god awful tone deaf voices with the rest of us. The simplistic version ends here however:

With the quiet and loud in mind, they're are further attributes associated to all people that afford an interesting (to say it lightly) bus ride. The younger kids on the bus who, still trying to find their niche within their social realm find amusement in making fun of any little detail while experimenting with any dirty four letter word they can *think (*that's one of them..) of.

The older (along with the mentally retarded) also frequent the bus, which is fine until they decide it's a fine day to make a new friend, and yours is the first face they see...

Experimentation with language, trying to define yourself, or making a friend is all fine and dandy, but for the love of GAWD the bus is not a bar, not a science experiment, and is not a..I already said bar.

Leave the bus as it should be, quick and quiet. If you want to find yourself, join a club. If you want to swear get yourself to an AA meeting, and if you want a ride to point A to point B and find yourself without a ride, get a bus.
