Having my baby. What a wonderful way to show how much you love me.

Dear UMHB and others,
These are the following babies I have carried and labored over for you in the past 6 months. Feel free, at any time, to reclaim what is yours, instead of bastardizing your own crap on to me.
  • RA -- this includes RA programming, RA training, living in a locker room, and the general sense of "screwed-overness" I wake up to in the morning.
  • The irresponsibility of over 50% of the freshman class -- I am sorry, Admissions, that you had to admit a fourth of this year's freshman class on conditional status, ie, they were already ON academic probation before they stepped foot in college, but why is this my problem? Why must I continue to baby sit and monitor those who are wasting the gifts placed before them? If it's your problem, then it is YOUR problem.
  • Boy-Craziness -- most everyone has gone boy crazy this semester. Girls have boyfriends, which have now replaced me in life. Guys want the approval of the top dawg, so now what I bring to the table, what I offer in fellowship is sacrificed on the altar of self-preservation and interest.
  • Pride -- just lose it. Just lose it, it will do you no good.

Now, I would like to ask you, UMHB and others, when do you plan on showing up to say thank you? When do you plan on being the other responsible partner in the mess of things, and coming around to put a faithful face to your name? When do you plan on relieving me of all the work I have done for you, so I can rest? Or, at the very least, when do you plan on paying child support so I can afford even the smallest of comforts?
Umm, good night.
