Welcome to 32nd and Chestnut...

This is the blog for 75 or so Drexel students, most of whom are new to college and new to Drexel.

We'll document the strangeness of college life, try to translate our experience for diverse readers, and chronicle what it means to be a college student during these crazy days of economic turmoil and political battle.

That's it for now; I have to go an play Spore.

Response to "Fuckin' Piglet"

I knew a very similar child to the Disney obsessed child; however, the kid I knew was obsessed with collecting star wars products. At about the age of 10, he had almost every toy there was to collect. But he did not call them toys, he called them collectibles. I remember one time playing with the "collectibles" one day, and I scratched it. He then had a crying temper tantrum, and I was always scared to have fun with him after that. In the piglet story, I wonder what would have happened if the kid was allowed to just be a kid. Being a kid means dirtying your hands and not always doing what your parents say. If this does not happen then the child grows a dependency on his mom and dad.
