The Mead Composition Notebook

Okay, uh, look, if you want to just keep on doing the same old thing, then maybe this idea is not for you. I, for one, am not going to compromise my artistic integrity. And I'll tell you something else, this is the show and we're not going to change it. Right?

I Pay Enough to Go to This School!

(A recent survey was conducted to determine how currently enrolled college students are dealing with the stresses of trying to manage ever-increasing tuition with their academic studies.  These results were compiled from a cross-section of students attending Occidental College.)

“I pay enough to go to this school, they should let me keep the mini-fridge in my room even if the RA didn’t approve it.” - Sam G.

“Do you know how much I pay to go to this school?  20 thousand dollars.  I pay enough to go to this school - I’m not paying to fix the peep hole in the sorority house.”  - Joe M.

“Don’t make me clean up the coffee I spilled in the dining hall - and yes, I did it on purpose!” - Theresa J.

“Hey!  I pay enough to go to this school, I think I should be allowed to cheat on tests!” - Mike D.

“The TV in the common room might as well as be mine.  And if I can’t have it, then let me watch 3 days of ‘iCarly’ in peace!” - Chris R.

“Hey!  I pay enough to go to this school, why can’t I hang out on the roof?  And for that matter, why won’t you let me jump off the roof?” - Jeff M.

“I’m going to write my term paper on whatever I want, so it might be about the influence Upton Sinclair has had on contemporary urban writers, or it might be on Skeletor.” - Lauren B.

“Hey!  I pay enough to go to this school, if I ask someone out on a date - then they have to go out with me - yeah, I’m talking to you Professor Cross.” - Max J.

“Let me a eat a snake already.” - Adam P.

“Do you know how much I pay to go to this school?  30 thousand dollars.  I pay enough to go to this school - I’m not paying to fix the peep hole in Professor Cross’ bathroom.” - Joe M.

“Hey!  I pay enough to go to this school, I’m not shaving my beard.  I don’t care how shitty it looks.” - Conner O.

“If I break a ‘rule,’ like jumping off the roof, instead of the RA writing me up for a violation, I should be able to punch him in the spine.  Sorry Keith, but those are the new rules.” - Megan T.

“Hey!  I pay enough to go to this school, I shouldn’t have to put up with roomates.  It’s not my fault my mini-fridge fell on Sarah and broke her leg.” - Jessica K.

“Do you know how much I pay to go to this school?  40.  Billion.  Dollars.  I pay enough to go this school.  Let me back on campus grounds, or I’m drilling a peep hole in your office, Mr. Dean.  If not, I’ll expect a full refund mailed to my parents’ house.  I think I’m entitled to something.” - Joe M.
