- Our future is not just a four letter word

D. Sevigny, CNC Student

@ boys and girls, we've finally
made it to the twenty-first century.
Our parents grew up in an era
expecting us by now to be flying to
the corner store in our little rocket
cars. And Rosie, the house-bot
would be running the home. It
hasn’t quite worked out that way.
Don't get me wrong, we've come
a long way, baby. We’ve mapped
out the complete DNA strand.
Science dudes, take a bow. We've
cured polio and developed some
of the most beautiful works of art,
the planet has ever seen. Our
accomplishments are many. But,
unfortunately here at CNC, some
students have chosen not to
develop as quickly as the rest of
us.

To some, this school is nothing

more than an extension of their
local bar or pub. Even the great,
Willie Shakespeare liked to let
loose a bit and enjoy a few pints

at his corner watering hole. But he
always had the common sense to
put that aside so he could rap a
few soliloquies. Today, we walk the
halls of CNC with aspirations of a
better life for ourself. This better
life can only be achieved if we're
serious as to why we're here and
not over there asking, “Would you
like fries with that?”. Is this nothing
more than a 7 day weekend or are
we here to make a difference? But
every so often that ideal becomes
jaded. In my time here, I’ve
experienced first hand some less-
than-proper forms of expression

by some who should have stayed
home to watch “Springer” and

finish off that third tub of Ben &
Jerry’s.

These little pearls of wisdom,

waft through the college like a

bad odour and at times have
brought me to a physical stop,
while shaking my head. They
must think that they’re back in
those glory days puffing their
chests, primping their tail feathers
to attract some opposite sex with
their grasp of the latest profanity.
News flash!! You're not in Kansas
anymore, Toto. This is a place of
educational advancement, not a
pissing contest. Why would you
dish out the bucks to come here
and not even make the attempt to
be here?
So put down the happy meal, |
children, push yourselves away
from the kiddie table and join the
rest of the adults. The next time
you find yourself in the cafeteria
or the library or wherever you may
be and you decide to take your
public conversation down a few
pegs, remember the person at

the next table may not be able to
avoid catching the highlights. No
one wants to start their day with a
fresh coffee, a new textbook and a
healthy “slap” in the face.
