If a 20 year old warehouse worker is an adult, so is a 20 year old college student. Every time I listen to the frenzied infantilization about “college kids” I die a bit inside.

The idea of college students as helpless kids is even dumber when you count in all the city and community college students who are already themselves parents, balancing jobs and school

I wish commenters would stop treating “four year university” as the default youth experience

College students acting like asshats over social distancing or mask-wearing don’t get a pass because they are in college.
